DZOFILM Vespid Prime 21mm T2.1 Cinema Lens for PL & EF Mount

When it comes to modern cinematography, the DZOFilm Vespid Prime 21mm T 2.1 Lens stands as a revolutionary tool, designed to meet the unique needs of both independent and high-end full-frame cinematography. As a part of the highly-regarded VESPID series, this lens features a compact 80mm front diameter, making it compatible with nearly all cine-style matte boxes. Its lightweight and compact design facilitate dynamic shooting experiences, whether you're using drones, gimbals, handheld devices, or employing a run-and-gun style. The Vespid Prime 21mm T 2.1 Lens boasts broad compatibility, thanks to its interchangeable PL mount and included EF mount.

This fully manual lens is crafted to pair with a wide array of modern and vintage cine cameras. Its full-frame coverage caters to sensors with an image circle of up to 46.5 mm, ensuring no vignetting even on cameras with sensors up to full-frame. Aesthetically, this lens is a masterpiece. Its 16-blade iris, a consistent feature across the VESPID prime lens family, ensures perfectly rounded out-of-focus highlights, contributing to the lens's authentic bokeh. For cinematographers who value precision, the focus ring offers a 270-degree rotation, and the iris ring a broad 64-degree rotation.

The lens is optimized for advanced lens accessories, thanks to cine-style gear rings integrated onto both focus and iris rings. Its versatility is further enhanced by a magnetically attached rear filter suitable for ND filters. The 21mm lens confidently covers a full-frame sensor, and when used with a Super35 sensor, it delivers a more intimate shot. The lens strikes a delicate balance between sharp, precise modern visuals and the nostalgic charm of vintage cinema lenses. Its coated optics masterfully curb veiling glare and specular highlights, protecting your image from flare washouts.

The DZOFilm Vespid Prime 21mm T 2.1 Lens is equipped with a 16-blade iris, ensuring smooth and rounded out-of-focus highlights, creating a genuine and engaging bokeh. This allows filmmakers to capture the intended emotional depth in their shots. Despite its rich feature set, the lens offers a consistent 80mm front diameter with standardized gear positions, facilitating quick and seamless lens changes, proving indispensable in dynamic shooting scenarios. The lens features a magnetically attached rear filter tailored for optional ND filters, allowing cinematographers to make precise exposure adjustments without altering the iris setting or depth of field.

Its 77mm filter thread permits direct filter attachment to the lens, proving beneficial in conditions where a matte box isn't feasible, ensuring adaptability across diverse shooting environments. A standout feature is its 12" minimum focusing distance, empowering detailed close-up shots. Whether capturing nuanced human expressions or nature's intricate designs, this lens misses no detail.
