DZOFilm VESPID 12mm T2.8 Cine Lens
Description
Relatively small and lightweight, the DZOFilm VESPID 12mm T2.8 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. Sporting an interchangeable ARRI PL mount, this fully manual lens works with cameras that have a PL or EF mount with the included Canon EF mount. The full-frame coverage of the lens supports sensors that have an image circle up to 46.5mm for use on cameras with sensors up to full-frame without vignetting.
Key Features:
- 12mm Lens Covers Full-Frame Sensors
- 10-Blade Iris, T2.8-22 Aperture
- 270° Focus Rotation
- 80mm Front Diameter
- Magnetic Rear Clear/ND Filter
The 10-blade iris 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 75° of rotation. The lens has a magnetically attached rear filter for ND filters.
- This 12mm 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 10-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 8" allows you to get up close to your subject.
