DZOFilm Vespid Prime 40mm T2.1 PL & EF Mount (VV/FF)

Built for demanding cinema systems, the DZOFilm Vespid Prime 40mm T2.1 PL & EF (VV/FF) yields a neutral perspective on full-frame and VistaVision sensors. T2.1 transmission with a 16-blade iris enables controlled separation and smooth, circular highlights. The rendering favors restrained contrast and faithful color for reliable skin tones and easy matching within the Vespid line. Minimal focus breathing preserves framing; internal baffling limits flare to keep blacks stable under hard light.

The package includes interchangeable PL and EF bayonets with accurate flange calibration. Manual mechanics provide 270° focus travel and a backlash-free throw that pairs with wireless motors and follow-focus units. Focus and iris feature standard 0.8 MOD gears for unified rigging on steadicam, gimbal, slider, or studio builds. The 40mm focal length offers a versatile midpoint—wide enough for context, tight enough for dialogue—proving useful on narrative, documentary, and broadcast sets.

With a 46.5 mm image circle, coverage is secure on large-format bodies including ARRI ALEXA LF open gate. Close focus to 0.30 m (1.0 ft) enables tight framing without diopters, and sharpness stays consistent across the frame at practical T-stops. Dual metric/imperial scales aid mixed-crew work, and the passive, all-mechanical design remains robust and temperature-stable.
