DZOFILM Vespid Prime 16mm T2.8 PL EF cinema lens

Wide-angle cinema prime for full-frame sensors

The DZOFILM Vespid Prime 16mm T2.8 is a professional cinema lens designed for full-frame cameras. It offers a versatile focal length suited to documentary work, narrative filmmaking and general wide-angle coverage. Dual PL and EF mount compatibility allows use across different camera systems without adapters. The lens targets cinematographers who need reliable optical performance in a compact form factor.

Constant T2.8 aperture with minimal breathing

The lens maintains a maximum aperture of T2.8 across its focus range, stopping down to T22 for deep depth-of-field control. Focus breathing is described as negligible, helping preserve framing during rack-focus pulls. Neutral colour rendering and APO design deliver natural skin tones and gentle sharpness without harsh edge contrast. The metal housing provides durability for daily production use while keeping the unit portable.

Consistent performance during extended takes

Under sustained operation the lens maintains its optical characteristics without focus shift or exposure drift. The click-less iris ring enables smooth exposure adjustments mid-shot. Uniform front diameter and gear positioning across the Vespid series allow fast lens changes on matte boxes and follow-focus rigs. The design supports continuous production workflows where reliability and repeatable results are required.
