The Vespid 40mm T2.1 sits between classic 35 and 50mm lenses, providing a balanced, natural-looking view for dialogue, documentary and versatile production work.


DZOFILM describes the 40mm focal length as a natural and truthful full-frame choice. It keeps useful context around a subject without feeling as expansive as a conventional wide-angle lens.

A 10-blade iris and APO optical design help create natural defocus, control chromatic aberration and retain neutral colour reproduction. Fully manual operation supports repeatable focus pulls and exposure changes.

The focus ring provides 270° of travel for fine adjustments. Low-breathing internal mechanics keep the lens length constant while focusing and help a balanced rig stay stable.
The aluminium body weighs approximately 905 g, while the 46.5mm image circle covers full-frame and Vista Vision sensors. This is a fully manual cine lens without electronic communication or optical stabilization.
