Lens Overview — DZOFilm 100mm T2.1

The DZOFilm VESPID 100mm T2.1 is a manual-focus prime cinema lens built for full-frame coverage, making it a solid option for cinematographers working with larger-sensor cinema cameras. Mounted in PL, it targets the professional cinema ecosystem directly, fitting a broad range of cine camera bodies. At a maximum aperture of T2.1, it offers a reasonably fast stop for controlled-light situations and shallow depth-of-field work.

The full-frame lens format means it is designed to cover sensors at that size without vignetting concerns. Weighing in at 940g, it sits in a manageable range for a telephoto prime of this class — practical for gimbal, drone, or handheld rigs where balance and weight distribution matter. The 77mm filter thread is a widely used standard, making it straightforward to source compatible filters and accessories.

Classified as a telephoto prime with a fixed 100mm focal length, this lens serves portrait work, medium-distance coverage, and compressed-perspective cinematography. The manual focus-only design is standard practice in professional cinema production, where precise, repeatable focus pulls are the norm rather than the exception. The VESPID 100mm T2.1 fits neatly into a lens set for filmmakers building out a matched prime system.

Description — DZOFilm 100mm T2.1

The DZOFilm VESPID 100mm T2.1 is a prime cinema lens with a fixed 100mm focal length and a maximum aperture of T2.1, built around a PL Mount for integration with professional cinema camera systems. Its full-frame lens format ensures complete sensor coverage for cinematographers working with larger-format cinema bodies. Weighing 940g, the lens occupies a practical weight range for a telephoto prime, supporting use on gimbals, drones, and handheld configurations without excessive load on rigs or operators.

The 77mm filter thread provides broad compatibility with standard cinema and photography filter systems. Designed exclusively for manual focus, the VESPID 100mm follows the professional cinema workflow where focus pullers and follow focus systems handle critical focus work. With no image stabilization, it is intended for use on stable support platforms or with stabilized camera systems.

The telephoto focal length and fast T2.1 stop make it well-suited for portrait framing, medium-distance subject coverage, and scenes where a compressed perspective and controlled depth of field are cinematically desirable.
