Vespid Prime

Ultra-wide angle without the extra weight

The 12mm Vespid expands the Full Frame/Vista Vision cine lens family with a compact ultra-wide focal length. Its 15-element, 10-group optical system, T2.8 maximum aperture, and 46.5 mm image circle provide the flexibility to capture wide shots, tight interiors, and scenes in challenging lighting conditions.

Precise Manual Control

Fully manual focus with a 270° range allows for precise and repeatable focus adjustments. The focus and aperture rings across the entire Vespid line share a unified position and a 0.8 MOD pitch, so there’s no need to readjust the follow-focus or other accessories when swapping lenses.

One lens, multiple camera setups

The interchangeable system supports both PL and EF mounts, and with DZOFILM Octopus adapters, the lens can be adapted to other compatible camera systems. The 80 mm front diameter facilitates the use of cine accessories, while the M77 thread allows for direct filter attachment; the aluminum body is 72 mm long and weighs approximately 725 g.

Part of a comprehensive set

The Vespid Prime series covers focal lengths ranging from ultra-wide-angle to telephoto lenses while maintaining a consistent look and operation. The design minimizes focus breathing and is optimized for natural color reproduction, smooth bokeh, and seamless transitions in sharpness. Thanks to its light weight, the 12mm lens is also well-suited for handheld shooting, gimbal use, and drone applications.
