Description — DZOFilm 18mm T1.9
The DZOFilm Vespid2 18mm T1.9 is a full-frame cinema prime lens with a wide-angle 18mm focal length and a fast T1.9 aperture. Designed for the Cinema / Video camera system category, this lens uses a T-stop rating to communicate true light transmission — an important distinction for cinematographers balancing exposure consistency across a lens set. Focus is entirely manual, following professional cinema conventions where controlled, deliberate focus pulls are the norm.
The lens is offered in four mount configurations: PL Mount, Canon EF, Sony E, and Micro Four Thirds, providing flexibility across a wide range of production cameras. With full-frame coverage and no image stabilization, the Vespid2 18mm is best paired with a stable rig setup and is well-suited to wide environmental compositions, interior scenes, and any situation where a broad field of view at a fast aperture is the priority.
