DZOFilm Vespid Prime 50mm T2.1 (PL & EF, VV/FF) delivers a true cine view for large-format capture. Covering a 46.5 mm image circle, it pairs with full-frame and VistaVision cameras without vignetting. A fast T2.1 stop enables controlled depth-of-field and exposure consistency across the Vespid set, while a 16-blade iris produces circular highlights and smooth foreground/background separation. Interchangeable PL and EF mounts ship in the box for straightforward integration on cinema bodies and hybrid rigs.
Mechanically, the 50 mm uses internal focusing with minimized focus breathing to maintain framing on racks. Cine-standard 0.8 MOD gears drive both rings; a long 270° focus rotation supports precise pulls, and a positive-feel 58° iris throw allows fine exposure trims. The assembly is fully manual for repeatability, with accurate, luminous marks and non-rotating fronts for matte boxes and clip-on accessories. Gear positions match the rest of the Vespid primes, reducing FIZ and follow-focus adjustments during fast lens changes.
Optically, a 9-element/7-group formula prioritizes high micro-contrast and restrained lateral CA. Images remain clean at T2.1, with neutral color, controlled veiling flare and confident edge acuity. Minimum focus is 46 cm (18.1 in) from the front, providing practical close-ups without diopters. Multilayer coatings manage specular roll-off and preserve shadow detail, supporting HDR pipelines and secondary grading.
For production workflows, the DZOFilm Vespid Prime 50mm T2.1 offers dual feet/meters scales for global crews and consistent mechanics for multi-camera setups. Typical deployments include narrative, commercial tabletop, broadcast, live and streaming, where reliable full-frame cine prime performance, low breathing and robust manual control are required. Suits wireless FIZ and handheld follow-focus units..

Relatively small and lightweight, the DZOFilm VESPID 50mm 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 a generous 58° 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.
