Full-frame 40mm T2.1 prime lens
The DZOFILM Vespid Prime 40mm T2.1 is a fully manual cinema lens built for full-frame and Vista Vision sensors up to a 46.5 mm image circle. It ships with an interchangeable PL mount and an included EF mount for broad camera compatibility. The 16-blade iris creates rounded out-of-focus highlights across the Vespid series. This compact design suits independent and high-end cinematography alike.
Compact build for dynamic shooting
Weighing little and measuring 80 mm at the front diameter, the lens integrates with most cine-style matte boxes without extra adapters. Its lightweight construction supports drone, gimbal, handheld and run-and-gun configurations. The all-manual operation eliminates electronic lag or motor noise during takes. No power draw or cooling system is involved in normal use.
Consistent performance under sustained use
The 270-degree focus rotation provides precise manual control during long takes without focus breathing shifts. Mechanical aperture and focus rings maintain their feel regardless of how long the lens stays on the camera. There are no thermal limits, fan curves or battery dependencies to manage. Build quality is intended for daily professional production schedules.

Questions about this item
How do I swap between the PL and EF mounts on this 40mm T2.1 lens, and what step is often missed?
Remove the four mount screws, exchange the flange, reinstall the screws evenly, then verify the 46.5 mm image circle covers the sensor without vignetting.
What maintenance will the 16-blade iris and 270-degree focus ring need over time?
Clean the front 80mm glass with a blower and microfibre cloth; the manual iris and focus helicoids are dry-lubricated at the factory and require no user servicing.
Where does the T2.1 aperture show its limit first during a long take?
At T2.1 the shallow depth of field makes focus drift obvious; the 270-degree focus throw lets you track it, but any sensor heat shift will appear as softness before the iris mechanics do.
