Lens Overview — DZOFilm 125mm

The DZOFilm VESPID 125mm is a manual-focus prime cinema lens built for Super 35 camera systems. Sitting in the telephoto focal length range, it offers a maximum aperture of T2.1, giving cinematographers a solid light-gathering capability for controlled, cinematic imagery. The lens ships in PL Mount configuration, making it compatible with a wide range of professional cinema cameras that use the industry-standard PL system.

With an 80mm front filter thread, it integrates cleanly with most standard cinema matte boxes, keeping rigging straightforward on professional sets. Weighing in at 0.924kg, the VESPID 125mm strikes a practical balance for a cinema prime of this focal length — substantial enough to feel well-built, yet manageable for gimbal and handheld setups where weight distribution matters. Image stabilization is not present in this lens, which is typical for a manual cinema prime intended for use on stabilized rigs or tripod-mounted setups.

The lens is classified as a Cine type prime, designed specifically for the Cinema and Video camera system category. The VESPID 125mm is a focused, no-frills telephoto prime that delivers a clean T2.1 aperture in a PL-mount package suited to Super 35 productions.
