DZOFilm VESPID 12mm T2.8 Cine Lens (ARRI PL & Canon EF)

OVERVIEW

The DZOFilm VESPID 12mm T2.8 Cine Lens (ARRI PL & Canon EF) opens up more opportunities for visual storytelling with its broad Perspectives and infinite creativity. The Vespid 12mm offers a diagonal field of view of 126° on Vista Vision format, with a horizontal view of 119° and a vertical view of 81°. While the ultra-wide-angle composition boosts cinematic and dramatic effects, the extremely expansive visual field offers stunningly rich details. The Vespid 12mm boasts two aspherical elements that effectively control chromatic aberration and distortion, achieving outstanding resolution and rendering true-to-life colors and details. The T2.8 aperture delivers alluring shallow depth of field and dreamy bokeh, making it suitable for low-light conditions, high-speed shooting, and astrophotography.

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.

Features

• 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.
