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.

This DZOFilm VESPID 5-Lens Kit is suitable for use on productions ranging from independent to studio films. The included 12, 25, 35, 50, 75mm PL mount lenses cover full-frame sensors and project a 46.5mm image circle yet are small and lightweight, making them an excellent choice for handheld, gimbal, and drone work.

The lenses feature an internal focus design that minimizes focus breathing while keeping the front of the lens from rotating and the lens from changing size while you change focus. The shared position of the focus and iris gears across the lens set makes for fast lens changes with minimal adjustment of lens accessories. An included hard case carries your lenses and protects them during storage and transport.

Cinematic Capturing Beyond Limits

Innovative Design, Inspiring Visuals
The Vespid Cine Prime Lenses offer superior image quality with a perfect balance of modern and vintage aesthetics. Its APO design produces sharp and accurate images with minimal chromatic aberration.

Gorgeous Bokeh, Aesthetic Appeal
Designed for professional cinematography, Vespid primes excel in optical precision, effectively controlling aberrations for remarkable resolution and true-to-life colors. They create soft and natural bokeh for organic and emotional images with smooth focus transitions, while their internal design minimizes focus breathing. This makes them ideal for everything from subtle focus transitions in dialogue scenes to dynamic documentary work.

Precise Mechanism, Smooth Operation
As professional cine prime lenses, the lenses are fully manual with 270 Degree of focus rotation, giving you smooth and accurate focus control. The shared position of the focus and iris gears across the lens set allows for fast lens changes with minimal adjustment of lens accessories. The focus and iris rings are smooth to operate, allowing for precise adjustments to focus and exposure.

Broad Perspectives Infinite Creativity
Vespid 12mm offers a diagonal field of view of 126 Degree on Vista Vision format, with a horizontal view of 119 Degree and a vertical view of 81 Degree . While the ultra-wide-angle composition boosts cinematic and dramatic effects, the extremely expansive visual field offers stunningly rich details. This opens up more opportunities for visual storytelling.

Cine-standard Design for Versatile Applications
Comprising 11 focal lengths from ultra-wide to standard and telephoto, the Vespid cine prime series adapts to diverse shooting scenarios. A comprehensive design adhering to industry standards ensures a consistent visual style. Compatible with Vista Vision large-format sensors, these primes meet the varied demands of independent filmmaking and large-scale productions - Remember, nearly every movie you've ever seen is mainly shot with primes.

Compact and Solid Build
These lenses housing are crafted from a durable aluminum alloy, making them robust and reliable in various environments. Their compact, lightweight design makes them ideal for handheld, gimbal, and drone work.

Inclusive Compatibility, Unlocking Potential
Vespid Prime lenses come with a versatile interchangeable PL and EF mounting system, compatible with Octopus adapters. Additionally, with a 77mm filter thread, they accommodate various filtration options. Including a prime or two in any camera bag ensures you're ready for any shooting scenario.

DZOFILM Vespid Prime Features

  • The lenses provide an organic look that is a cross between the modern-day cold and technically precise aesthetic and vintage cinema lenses
  • The coated optics help provide natural-looking contrast while helping to control veiling glare and specular highlights, preventing flares from washing out your image
  • The 12mm has 10-blade and 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm have 16-blade iris makes for a natural-looking bokeh and creates smooth rounded out-of-focus highlights
  • The modern mechanical design allows each lens to have a small size and light weight yet share the same 80mm front diameter and common gear positions for fast lens changes
  • The rear of the lens has a magnetically attached rear filter that accepts optional ND filters that help you control exposure without affecting the iris setting or changing your depth of field
  • The front of the lens has a 77mm filter thread, allowing you to use optional filters directly on the lens, which is useful when you need filtration when shooting without a matte box
