35mm T1.9 Wide-Normal Cine Prime for Full-Frame Cameras
The 35mm focal length balances subject presence with environmental context, making it useful for handheld scenes, documentary interviews, and narrative coverage. A T1.9 maximum aperture provides creative depth-of-field control in both available-light and studio environments. The specified 46.5mm image circle supports full-frame and VistaVision imaging within the limits of the camera sensor and recording mode.
Improved Sharpness from Near Focus to Infinity
The Vespid2 series incorporates floating elements with revised optical glass and coatings to help correct aberrations as focus moves from infinity to nearby subjects. According to DZOFilm, the second-generation design improves edge clarity and flare control while preserving natural color rendition. This 35mm prime focuses as close as 0.3m (1 ft) from the sensor plane, with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:5.5.
Consistent 35mm Framing During Cinematic Focus Pulls
DZOFilm designed Vespid2 to reduce visible changes in framing during rack-focus moves. That is useful for moving from a foreground object to a background actor while maintaining the intended 35mm composition. A 300° manual focus rotation supports fine adjustment and repeatable focus marks for camera assistants.
Lens Data for Compatible PL-Mount Cinema Cameras
Cooke /i support can deliver lens identification and real-time parameters such as focal length, T-stop, and focus distance to compatible camera systems. The recorded information can help camera crews and VFX departments document setups and match shots. Operation depends on supported camera contacts, mount interfaces, and related equipment.
80mm Front Diameter, 0.8 MOD Gearing, and 800g Body
The aluminum-alloy lens has an 80mm front outside diameter, M77 filter thread, and an 80mm front-to-PL-flange dimension specified by DZOFilm. Manual 0.8 MOD geared controls integrate with compatible follow-focus and lens-motor systems. At approximately 800g according to DZOFilm, this 35mm prime is suited to appropriately balanced handheld, gimbal, and studio rigs.
35mm Narrative Coverage with Environmental Context
A 35mm prime balances environmental context and character framing for moving scenes, dialogue coverage, and wide-normal compositions.
Controlled Focus in Studio and Location Work
Use a 0.3m minimum focus distance, cine-standard geared controls, and repeatable focus marks in brand films and tabletop scenes.
Cooke /i Lens-Data-Aware Recording
When connected to a compatible camera, lens metadata can assist shot notes, match moves, and supported post-production workflows.
