DZOFilm Vespid Prime 75mm T2.1 PL Mount (VV/FF)

For a tighter full-frame view that still keeps facial detail controlled, the DZOFilm Vespid Prime 75mm T2.1 PL Mount (VV/FF) gives cinematographers a short-telephoto option for interviews, dialogue coverage, product shots and compressed stage frames. The 75mm focal length is useful on VistaVision and full-frame cinema cameras where a 50mm feels too open, yet a longer 100mm would force too much camera distance. At T2.1, it can separate talent from the background without losing the measured exposure handling expected from a cine prime.

The optical layout uses 9 elements in 7 groups and covers a 46.5 mm image circle, so the lens serves VV/FF sensors without cropping into the recorded frame. APO correction helps reduce visible colour fringing on contrast edges, while the Vespid rendering keeps skin texture, fabric detail and practical highlights natural rather than harsh. A 16-blade iris shapes round out-of-focus highlights; for commercials, tabletop frames or a controlled studio set, that gives the 75mm a polished background falloff while keeping the subject line readable.

Operation is fully manual, with 0.8 MOD cine gears on focus and iris for follow focus systems, lens motors and remote lens control. The 270° focus rotation gives a focus puller enough travel for precise marks, and the 68° iris rotation allows small exposure corrections during a take. Close focus reaches approximately 0.6 m from the sensor plane, useful for tight inserts, hands, accessories or product details without leaving the prime-lens set. The PL mount suits cinema bodies and accessories built around a professional lens-control environment.

Across a Vespid set, gear positions and colour response remain consistent, reducing accessory changes between focal lengths on gimbals, cranes, shoulder rigs and compact studio builds. The 75mm sits especially well in multi-camera interviews, beauty shots, corporate films, broadcast inserts and narrative close-ups, where controlled perspective matters as much as resolution. For buyers looking for a full-frame cine lens with PL mount practicality, T2.1 exposure, restrained focus breathing and manual mechanics, this DZOFilm prime gives a credible production tool rather than a stills lens adapted to cinema use.
