DZOFilm has released two new Vespid series full-frame wide-angle video lenses with focal lengths of 21mm and 40mm and a maximum aperture of T2.1. Like other lenses in the series, these DZOFilm lenses feature a 270-degree focus ring for precise control.
As full-frame lenses, these primes support a very large image circle, providing full coverage for large format cameras such as the RED Monstro VV or ARRI Alexa LF.
DZOFilm does not provide any details regarding the optical design of the new products but does state that both have a 16-blade aperture for smooth and round bokeh across the aperture range from T2.1 to T22, which is in line with other lenses in the Vespid line.
These two new lenses weigh around 950g and are both the same size as the rest of the lenses in their main lineup.
