Product Overview
The DZOFilm Vespid2 85mm T1.9 Prime Lens is a compact ARRI PL-mount cine prime for portrait cinematography, narrative close-ups, and commercial productions. This DZO-V285IH version has feet-based focus markings, a 46.5mm image circle for full-frame and VistaVision workflows, and Cooke /i lens-data support on compatible cameras. Revised optics, minimal focus breathing, and a 300° manual focus throw help maintain precise control during demanding focus pulls. Portrait-ready reach in a production-friendly housing.
The DZOFilm Vespid2 85mm T1.9 Prime Lens, manufacturer part number DZO-V285IH, is an individual cinema prime offered by Coremicro, a professional video equipment retailer in Union City, California. This version features an ARRI PL mount and imperial/feet focus markings. Its aperture range is T1.9–T22, image circle is 46.5mm, closest focus is 0.74m (2 ft 5 in) from the sensor plane, and optical design uses 11 elements in 8 groups. The lens supports Cooke /i metadata with compatible camera equipment. Contact Coremicro for current pricing, availability, and warranty support.
85mm T1.9 Portrait Lens with Full-Frame Coverage
The 85mm focal length gives cinematographers a focused perspective for portraits, dialogue close-ups, and product details. A fast T1.9 maximum aperture offers control over background separation in available-light and studio setups. The specified 46.5mm image circle supports full-frame and VistaVision capture, subject to the camera's actual sensor dimensions.
Updated Glass for Edge Clarity and Close-Focus Detail
The second-generation Vespid optical platform uses floating elements and revised coatings to manage aberrations over the focusing range. DZOFilm emphasizes better center-to-edge clarity, controlled reflections, and natural-looking skin tones compared with the original series. On this 85mm prime, the minimum focus distance is 0.74m (2 ft 5 in) measured from the camera sensor plane.
Stable Framing Through Critical 85mm Focus Pulls
DZOFilm designed the Vespid2 series to reduce the visible change in framing as focus shifts. On an 85mm portrait lens, this helps keep attention on a subject's expression rather than a distracting change in image size. The long 300° focus rotation gives assistants room for accurate marks and repeatable manual pulls with compatible follow-focus equipment.
Real-Time Focus and T-Stop Data for Compatible Cameras
Cooke /i support lets compatible camera systems read focal length, focus distance, and aperture data from the lens. This information can assist with shot logging, repeatable setups, visual effects, and virtual production. Metadata transmission depends on the camera's supported PL contacts or appropriate lens-data connection; it is not a guarantee of compatibility with every PL-mount body.
80mm Front Diameter and Professional Cine Mechanics
The 85mm Vespid2 uses an 80mm outside front diameter, M77 filter thread, and an 80mm lens length measured to the PL flange plane. An aluminum-alloy body and 0.8 MOD gearing fit conventional cine lens-control workflows. DZOFilm specifies approximately 865g for the 85mm version, making it practical to evaluate for supported handheld, gimbal, and studio rigs.
Portraits, Dialogue, and Emotional Close-Ups
The 85mm focal length and T1.9 aperture help isolate actors while retaining controlled, repeatable cine focus operation.
