PL mount

The interchangeable PL mount allows you to use this fully manual lens on a variety of modern and vintage cine cameras. The included PL to Canon EF mount adapter allows you to equip the DZOFilm Vespid with both a PL and a Canon EF mount.

Completely covers full-frame sensors

The lens's full-frame coverage supports sensors with an image circle up to 46.5mm, ensuring compatibility with full-frame sensors without annoying vignetting. The refined 16-blade diaphragm has been carefully developed to produce rounded, natural-looking out-of-focus details and enhance the lens’s stunning bokeh.

Precise focusing

Enjoy unparalleled precision thanks to the 270-degree rotation of the focus ring, allowing you to focus seamlessly and with pinpoint accuracy. The generous 50-degree rotation of the aperture ring enables effortless adjustments in exposure control, giving you complete control over the atmosphere of your shots. The lens features cine-style toothed rings on the focus and aperture rings for compatibility with accessories such as follow focus units, lens motors and lens control systems.

Removable ND filters and Threads

The lens has a magnetically attached rear filter that accepts optional ND filters that help you control exposure without affecting aperture settings or changing 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 if you need filtration when filming without a matte box.

Capture small details, textures and emotions

The short minimum focusing distance of just 25 centimetres lets you get extremely close to your subject and capture exceptional details. Whether it’s detailed macro shots or capturing the emotions of a face up close, this minimum focusing distance opens up a world of possibilities for expressive and immersive cinematography.
