DZOFilm Vespid2 35mm T1.9 Prime Lens PL
The DZOFilm Vespid2 35mm T1.9 is the next generation of the popular Vespid series, offering improved optical performance, higher sharpness, and integrated Cooke /i technology for professional film productions. The lens is designed for full-frame cameras and larger sensors, including VistaVision, and combines a compact design with the image quality required for modern film, advertising, and streaming productions.
With its classic 35mm focal length, the Vespid2 is one of the most versatile lenses in the series. It is equally well-suited for establishing shots and environmental shots as it is for documentary filmmaking, interviews, handheld shooting, and gimbal production. The fast T1.9 aperture also allows you to create a shallow depth of field and shoot in challenging lighting conditions without compromising image quality.
Improved optical design with higher sharpness
The Vespid2 series has been upgraded with a new optical design that delivers even higher detail reproduction and better contrast than the original Vespid series. Thanks to aspherical lens elements and advanced optical design, chromatic aberration, distortion, and focus breathing are kept to a minimum.
The result is a clean, natural, and cinematic image with impressive sharpness from center to edge, while the lens retains the organic character that has made the Vespid series popular among filmmakers worldwide.
Full-Frame and VistaVision Compatibility
The lens covers full-frame sensors and larger film formats with a generous image circle that also supports VistaVision. This makes the Vespid2 35mm an excellent choice for modern digital film cameras from ARRI, RED, Sony, Blackmagic Design, Canon, and other manufacturers.
The wide sensor support also makes the lens future-proof for productions working with high-resolution formats and larger sensors.
Fast T1.9 Aperture
The fast T1.9 aperture allows filmmakers to work with natural light while creating a beautiful shallow depth of field. With 16 aperture blades, it produces a soft and natural bokeh that contributes to the cinematic feel of every frame.
The lens performs equally well in low-light environments as it does in controlled studio productions, delivering a consistent visual style across the entire Vespid2 series.
Cooke /i Technology for Professional Workflows
The Vespid2 series is equipped with integrated Cooke /i Technology, which enables real-time transmission of lens metadata to compatible cameras and production systems. Information such as focal length, focus distance, and aperture settings can be used for VFX work, virtual production, shot matching, and advanced post-production.
Metadata can be transmitted directly via the PL mount or through the lens’s LEMO connector for integration with professional lens control systems.
Compact design for gimbals, drones, and handheld shooting
Despite its professional performance, the Vespid2 35mm weighs only about 800 grams. Its light weight makes the lens perfect for modern production environments where gimbals, drones, Steadicam systems, and handheld rigs are used daily.
The compact design also makes it easier to balance camera rigs and switch between different lenses in the series without major adjustments.
Consistent Design Across the Entire Vespid2 Series
All lenses in the Vespid2 series share the same 80 mm front diameter, standardized 0.8 MOD gear rings, and similar weight distribution. This simplifies lens changes and minimizes the need for rebalancing when used on gimbals or other stabilization systems.
The long 300° focus travel also provides focus pullers with maximum precision during critical focusing.
Professional ARRI PL Mount
The integrated ARRI PL mount makes the lens compatible with a wide range of professional film cameras. The design is built to meet the demands of feature film, TV production, commercial film, and virtual production.
