Love them

I love it! Amazing on black and brown skin tones. Looking forward to buying and owning the whole set. Yes, there's CA but my audience wouldn't be looking out for it. Good tools, good stories. I own the 25mm and 90mm Macro

Great Lens set!

Love these lenses! Very well built, fast, compact, matching focus/iris rings across all lenses and outstanding optical quality. I?m using them on my BMPCC 4K with Metabones and BMPCC 6K pro. But I can also use them with my medium format Fujifilm GFX 100s in video mode (not so much in photo mode). Only the wider lenses have some minor vignetting that I can correct in post. Great set of lenses!

great deal

Absolute best bang for the buck in full frame cine primes. Better than most lenses costing 3x as much.

Pretty Good!

Just went out and tested this and the 75mm. Thoroughly loved the fact that it had character and wasn't too clinical. Wanted to test these two before I got the whole set. I'll be adding more and more of the primes as time goes on. Impressive for the very low price.

Big Dog, Small budget.

Fantastic lens. One of the best purchases I?ve made thus far. You can?t beat the price, and it competes with the bugs dogs.

Amazing Vespid Prime Set

These lenses are amazing. I?ve shot through the years on Cooks, angeniuex, canon CNE?s, Zeiss and many many more and these lenses are some of the best and can hang if not exceed some of the others on my list!! Way to go Vespid?s!

So pleasantly surprised...

These are shockingly good for the price. Image quality is very impressive. Zero breathing. Excellent dampening & solid construction while staying very lightweight. A nice blend of modern sharpness/mechanics with a vintage aesthetic. Pleasing flares. Creamy bokeh & consistent color across the line. Useable wide open, sharp (where it counts), minimal distortion, & well-controlled contrast. When they release the 16mm, this will be a perfect set. Literally, my only complaint is a powerful ammonia odor from the adhesives in the case & what I can only describe as some sand (?) in the case? I can?t explain that. Also, they apparently aren?t weather-sealed but, for the price, that?s not shocking, is it? These have far exceeded my expectations.

Impressed

The lenses are better than expected! We are quite happy to have them. I want to commend Shelby A. in customer support; without her diligence and perseverance we would not have these lenses. Due to an issue between my legal first name and the name I actually use (middle name) there was a glitch between the Adorama credit card and company. Shelby worked VERY hard to figure out the issue and I was greatly impressed. Definitely plan to continue ordering from and recommending this company!

These should cost twice as much.

Amazing quality for the price. For full frame cinema primes they are very compact and light weight. The build quality is superb and will be right at home on any demanding production. Flare is also very controlled for lenses at this price point.

Before you embark on your next filmmaking project, consider the Vespid Prime Cinema 10-Lens Kit, a comprehensive collection of lenses designed to elevate your cinematic vision. This kit includes a range of lenses from 16mm T2.8 to 125mm T2.1, including a 90mm Macro T2.8 lens, all compatible with both PL & EF mounts.

The Vespid Prime lenses are designed to capture beyond full frame (46.5mm), offering a compact and portable solution that's ideal for on-the-go documentary shooting. Like its namesake, the Vespid is nimble and agile, easily adapting to a variety of shooting conditions. Whether you're using a single lens or the entire kit, these lenses are swift and efficient, designed with a consistent gear mechanism that eliminates the need to change gear motors when switching lenses.

These lenses are not just functional, but reliable too. They produce a negligible breathing effect, creating immersive scenes with neutral colors and fine, soft skin rendering. This makes them a perfect companion for both A-roll and B-roll footage, offering an organic APO design that balances sharpness and clarity.

The Vespid Prime lenses are known for their pleasing round bokeh, achieved through a 16-blade diaphragm design. This results in natural, soft bokeh that enhances the aesthetic transition during focus fall-off, creating organic and emotional images.

Balancing modern and slightly vintage aesthetics, these lenses offer consistent performance and a solid construction that withstands diverse environments. They are designed for the new era of motion pictures, offering perfect aberration correction without any obvious sharp edges or bright spots.

The Vespid Prime lenses also feature innovative magnetic rear elements and a detachable rear ND filter, allowing you to control exposure while maintaining a shallow depth of field. With consistent T2.1-T22 across all focal lengths, these lenses encourage creative freedom, allowing you to break the rules and decide the bokeh.

The kit also includes an interchangeable PL mount that can be converted to L/X/E/RF mount via the DZOFILM Octopus Adapter, making it a versatile addition to any filmmaker's toolkit. With the Vespid Prime Cinema 10-Lens Kit, you're not just capturing footage, you're crafting cinematic masterpieces.
