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!

Great kit, great price!

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.

After extensive research and development, the Vespid Prime 125mm T2.1 Cinema Lens for Canon EF emerges as a high-quality, professional-grade lens designed for filmmakers and photographers who demand excellence. This lens is engineered to capture cinematic visuals beyond the full frame, with a 46.5mm image circle that ensures superior image quality.

Compact and portable, this lens is perfect for on-the-go documentary shooting. Its nimble and agile design, reminiscent of a Vespid, allows for easy adaptation to various shooting conditions, whether you're working with a single unit or a whole group.

The Vespid Prime lens features a consistent gear design, eliminating the need to change gear motors when switching lenses. This feature enhances its reliability, making it a dependable partner for your filming projects.

With negligible breathing effect, this lens creates immersive scenes with neutral color rendering and fine, soft skin tones. It faithfully represents the actual image, making it an ideal companion for both A-roll and B-roll footage.

The lens boasts an organic APO design that delivers gentle sharpness and vivid clarity. Its appropriate sharpness generates a cinematic feeling while expressing organic look and fine details. The Vespid Prime optimizes chromatic aberration one by one, in accordance with the standard of APO.

A pleasing round bokeh is achieved through a 16-blade diaphragm design, creating natural, soft bokeh. This results in organic and emotional images composed by aesthetic transition during focus falling off.

The Vespid Prime lens strikes a balance between modern and slightly vintage aesthetics, with consistent performance and solid construction that keeps it functioning even under diverse environments.

Designed for the new era of motion pictures, the Vespid Prime is perfect for indie filmmakers, offering perfect aberration correction without obvious sharp edges or bright spots.

The lens also features creative magnetic rear elements and a detachable rear ND filter, allowing you to control exposure while maintaining a shallow depth of field. With interchangeable mounts for PL or EF, and the ability to be converted to L/X/E/RF mount via DZOFILM Octopus Adapter, this lens truly breaks the rules and lets you decide the bokeh.

In conclusion, the Vespid Prime 125mm T2.1 Cinema Lens for Canon EF is a versatile, durable, and reliable choice for professionals seeking to elevate their filmmaking and photography projects.
