DZOFilm Vespid Prime 12mm T2.8 PL & EF Mount (VV/FF) is an ultra-wide cine prime for full-frame and Vista Vision sensors, covering a 46.5 mm image circle with uniform illumination and tight control of lateral color. The T2.8 aperture with a 10-blade iris keeps exposure consistent while retaining clean, rounded highlights across the frame. The optical path uses an APO approach to suppress chromatic aberrations and fringing, preserving edge contrast on high-resolution cameras.
For crews who rely on fast lens swaps, mechanics follow industry standards: 0.8 Mod focus and iris gears, matching ring positions across the Vespid set, and a long 270° focus rotation for precise pulls. Iris rotation is 75° for fine-grained t-stop control. Close focus hits 0.20 m (8 in), enabling dramatic perspective at arm’s length without excessive distortion creep. Focus breathing is kept low for stable framelines during racks, crucial for narrative blocking and multi-camera continuity.
Coverage and geometry remain consistent at extreme angles: on VV the 12 mm offers a 126° diagonal, 119° horizontal, and 81° vertical field of view, capturing tight interiors, vehicle cabins, and large LED volumes in a single setup. The lens accepts 77 mm screw-in filters and works seamlessly with clip-on matte boxes and standard follow-focus units. Dual mounting with PL and EF broadens camera compatibility across cinema bodies and compact full-frame hybrids on gimbals or drones.
In practice the Vespid Prime 12 mm T2.8 fits dynamic establishing shots, helmet- or car-rig POV, Steadicam walk-throughs, concert stages, and ENG-style wide masters. For live production it anchors studio corners, giving operators a distortion-controlled ultra-wide that maintains crisp micro-contrast under HDR lighting. For commercials it renders rectilinear lines with neutral color, ready for ACES/Rec.709 pipelines and VFX tracking.
