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.
