Lens Overview — DZOFilm 85mm T1.9

The DZOFilm Vespid2 85mm T1.9 Prime is a full-frame cinema prime lens built for professional cinematography and hybrid shooters who demand manual precision. With a fast T1.9 maximum aperture, this lens delivers strong low-light capability and the kind of shallow depth of field that is central to cinematic image-making. The 85mm focal length falls squarely in telephoto territory, making it a natural choice for portraiture, interviews, and medium-distance subject work.

As a manual focus lens, it puts the cinematographer fully in control of focus pulls, which is standard practice in professional cinema environments. The Vespid2 ships with mount compatibility across PL Mount, Canon EF, and Sony E, giving it flexibility across a range of cinema and mirrorless camera systems. A 77mm filter thread allows for the use of industry-common ND and polarizing filters.

At 900g, the lens sits at a manageable weight for shoulder, gimbal, and handheld rigs alike. With no image stabilization, it is designed to be used with external stabilization solutions as is typical in cinema production. The full-frame image circle ensures coverage for modern large-sensor cinema and hybrid cameras.
