DZOFilm VESPID 16mm T2.8 Cine Lens (PL & EF Mounts)

The DZOFilm VESPID 16mm T2.8 Cine Lens (PL & EF Mounts) is designed for independent and high-end full-frame cinematography, boasting a small and lightweight build. With an 80mm front diameter, it seamlessly fits most cine-style matte boxes. DZOFilm VESPID 16mm T2.8 Cine Lens (PL & EF Mounts) compact design makes it an excellent choice for drone, gimbal, handheld, or run-and-gun shooting. Featuring an interchangeable PL mount, this fully manual lens works well with cameras sporting PL or EF mounts (using the included EF mount). Offering full-frame coverage, it supports sensors with an image circle of up to 46.5mm, ensuring compatibility with cameras up to full-frame size 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 50° of rotation. The lens has a magnetically attached rear filter for ND filters.

Key Features

• This 16mm lens has an image circle that covers a full-frame sensor. When mounted on a camera with a Super35 sensor, it provides you with a tighter shot than if mounted on a camera with a full-frame sensor.

• The lenses provide an organic look that is a cross between the modern-day cold and technically precise aesthetic and vintage cinema lenses.

• The coated optics help provide natural-looking contrast while helping to control veiling glare and specular highlights, preventing flares from washing out your image.

• The 16-blade iris makes for a natural-looking bokeh and creates smooth rounded out-of-focus highlights.

• The modern mechanical design allows each lens to have a small size and light weight yet share the same 80mm front diameter for fast lens changes.

• The rear of the lens has a magnetically attached rear filter that accepts optional ND filters that help you control exposure without affecting the iris setting or changing your depth of field.

A minimum focusing distance of 10" allows you to get up close to your subject.
