Product Overview
The DZOFilm Vespid2 24mm T1.9 Prime Lens is a wide-angle ARRI PL-mount cine prime for narrative coverage, documentary filmmaking, establishing shots, and commercial production. The DZO-V224IH version combines feet-based focus markings with a manufacturer-specified 46.5mm image circle for full-frame and VistaVision applications. Updated Vespid2 optics, minimal focus breathing, and 300° manual focus rotation support precise on-set camera work. Cooke /i metadata communication is available with compatible camera systems.
The DZOFilm Vespid2 24mm T1.9 Prime Lens, manufacturer part number DZO-V224IH, is a single cinema prime lens with an ARRI PL mount and feet/imperial focus markings. DZOFilm specifies a T1.9–T22 aperture range, 46.5mm image circle, 0.3m (1 ft) minimum focus from the sensor plane, 14 elements in 13 groups, 1:8 maximum magnification, and an approximate weight of 776g. The lens uses 0.8 MOD cine gears, 10 iris blades, and Cooke /i metadata technology. Coremicro can assist buyers with pricing, availability, and PL camera compatibility; confirm warranty eligibility when ordering.
24mm T1.9 Coverage for Wide-Angle Cinema Framing
The 24mm focal length brings environmental detail into frame for narrative scenes, interiors, and documentary work. Its T1.9 maximum aperture allows creative separation and low-light flexibility, while the 46.5mm image circle is specified for full-frame and VistaVision coverage. This is an individual 24mm lens, not a complete multi-lens set.
Updated Optical Design with Close-Focus Clarity
DZOFilm uses floating optical elements and revised coatings across the Vespid2 series to help correct aberrations from infinity through close focus. The 24mm lens focuses down to 0.3m (1 ft) from the camera sensor plane and reaches a 1:8 maximum magnification ratio. According to DZOFilm, the second-generation optics improve clarity and flare control compared with the original Vespid design.
Keep Wide-Angle Compositions Steady During Focus Pulls
The Vespid2 series is engineered to minimize visible framing changes as focus shifts between foreground and background subjects. On a 24mm lens, this benefits moving shots, interior coverage, and focus transitions that reveal scene depth. A 300° focus rotation provides fine manual adjustment and repeatable marks for compatible follow-focus systems.
Real-Time Lens Information for Compatible Cinema Cameras
Cooke /i technology can communicate focal length, T-stop, and focus distance to compatible cinema cameras through supported lens interfaces. This information helps crews document setups and can streamline visual-effects or virtual-production workflows. Recording depends on the particular camera, electronic PL mount, and any additional interfaces.
80mm Front Diameter and Lightweight 776g Construction
The 24mm Vespid2 features an aluminum-alloy body, 80mm front outside diameter, M77 filter thread, and an 80mm front-to-PL-flange length. Cine-standard 0.8 MOD gear teeth are designed for compatible focus and iris motors. At approximately 776g according to DZOFilm, this lens suits carefully balanced handheld, gimbal, and studio camera setups.
Wide-Angle Storytelling with Environmental Context
Use the 24mm field of view to establish a scene, follow action through tight interiors, and include meaningful background context.
Establishing Shots and Close Subject Work
The 0.3m minimum focus distance and T1.9 maximum aperture give operators framing choices for location interviews and branded content.
Cooke /i Data for Supported Camera Systems
With a compatible camera mount, Cooke /i metadata can help record lens settings for match moves and post-production reference.
