DZOFilm Vespid Prime 25mm T2.1 (VV/FF) is a wide cine prime for large-format workflows. It projects a 46.5 mm image circle, covering full-frame and VistaVision sensors while remaining compact for handheld, gimbal or drone rigs. A fast T2.1 aperture and a 16-blade iris produce circular highlights with smooth edge roll-off and neutral color rendition, suitable for interviews, narrative scenes and documentary work. Coatings control veiling glare and maintain contrast under backlight or practicals.
Mechanics follow industry conventions: 270° focus throw with low backlash, uniform gear spacing across the Vespid family, and standard 0.8 MOD / 32-pitch rings for follow-focus units and wireless motors. Minimum object distance is 0.30 m (1.0 ft), enabling energetic wides and table-top coverage without swapping glass. Breathing is restrained, keeping framing steady during racks. The aperture is fully manual for precise, click-free exposure pulls.
This edition ships with a native PL mount plus a user-swappable Canon EF mount, extending compatibility from digital cinema bodies to broadcast and live production cameras via robust adapters. The optical formula—12 elements in 11 groups—balances resolution with pleasing micro-contrast. Engraved scales in feet and meters aid focus pullers on international sets, and the durable housing withstands daily rigging with matte boxes, motors and RF video links.
For teams curating a matched set, the DZOFilm Vespid Prime 25mm T2.1 PL & EF aligns with its 21/35/50/75/100/125 mm companions in gearing, color and handling. On Super 35 the field of view suits establishing spaces and dynamic movement; on full-frame it offers an immersive perspective without aggressive distortion. Deliver crisp, repeatable marks, controlled flare and dependable VV/FF coverage on studio stages, OB vans or field units.

Relatively small and lightweight, the DZOFilm VESPID 25mm T2.1 Lens is part of the VESPID series of lenses from DZOFilm and is well suited for independent and high-end full-frame cinematography. The lens has an 80mm front diameter, allowing it to work with virtually any cine-style matte box. The small size makes this lens an attractive option when working with drones and gimbals, as well as when shooting handheld or run-and-gun. The interchangeable PL mount and included EF mount allow you to use the fully manual lens on a variety of modern and vintage cine cameras, while the full-frame coverage supports sensors that have an image circle up to 46.5mm for use on cameras with sensors up to full-frame without vignetting.
The 16-blade iris, which is consistent throughout the VESPID prime lens lineup, creates round out-of-focus highlights that have a more natural appearance and contribute to the lens's natural-looking bokeh. The focus ring features 270° of rotation for precise focus pulls, and the iris ring has a generous 64° of rotation. Cine-style gear rings on the focus and iris rings make the lens compatible with cine-style lens accessories such as follow focus units, lens motors, and lens control systems. The lens has a magnetically attached rear filter for ND filters.
