Built for precision imaging across VistaVision and full-frame formats, the DZOFilm Vespid Prime 35mm T2.1 PL & EF Mount (VV/FF) offers neutral rendering and a robust cine toolset. A fast T2.1 aperture maintains contrast on large sensors, while the 46.5 mm image circle provides full coverage for modern LF bodies. The optical path uses 11 elements in 9 groups with apochromatic control that suppresses color fringing and preserves micro-contrast from center to edge. Breathing stays low for repeatable racks in narrative, documentary and multi-camera broadcast workflows.
The focusing unit runs through a 270° throw for precise marks, with a close focus of 0.30 m to shift from establishing frames to tight details without moving the rig. A fully manual iris uses 16 blades for circular highlights and stable bokeh across the T2.1–T22 range. Both focus and iris use standard 0.8 MOD gearing for integration with wired or wireless FIZ systems; consistent gear placement across the Vespid set accelerates swaps on gimbals, dollies and shoulder rigs. Backlash remains minimal, and scale engraving is readable for 1st ACs in studio or exterior setups.
Mount flexibility is central to this 35 mm: PL is fitted, and the included EF bayonet lets crews align the lens with cinema and DSLR-style platforms without adapters. Coverage and color match other Vespid focal lengths, enabling clean intercuts on HDR timelines. Chromatic control and flare behavior suit modern sensors, while the neutral contrast curve responds predictably to filtration and diffusion. With stable T-stops and low focus shift, exposure holds during pulls and LF windowing.

Relatively small and lightweight, the DZOFilm VESPID 35mm 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 63° 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.
