Compact and lightweight, the DZOFilm VESPID 40mm T2.1 Lens is an excellent choice within the VESPID series, tailored for both independent filmmakers and high-end full-frame cinematography projects. Its 80mm front diameter accommodates virtually any cine-style matte box, enhancing versatility for various shooting setups. Thanks to its small footprint, this lens is especially appealing for use on drones and gimbals, as well as for handheld or run-and-gun filming scenarios. With an interchangeable PL mount and an included EF mount, this fully manual lens can be paired with a wide range of both modern and vintage cine cameras. Its full-frame coverage supports image sensors with circles up to 46.5mm, ensuring compatibility with cameras up to full-frame without risk of vignetting.
Superior Optics and Creative Control
Featuring a 16-blade iris, consistent throughout the VESPID prime lineup, this lens delivers beautifully round and natural-looking out-of-focus highlights, contributing to cinematic bokeh. The precision engineering of the focus ring offers a generous 270° of rotation, allowing for smooth and accurate focus pulls. Meanwhile, the iris ring provides 64° of rotation for fine-tuned aperture adjustments. Both the focus and iris rings are equipped with cine-style gear rings, making them fully compatible with standard cine accessories such as follow focus systems, lens motors, and remote lens controllers. Additionally, the lens incorporates a magnetically attached rear filter, enabling quick and secure use of ND filters for enhanced creative control.
