Description — DZOFilm 85mm T1.9
The DZOFilm Vespid2 85mm T1.9 Prime Lens is a full-frame cinema prime built for professional cinematography and demanding hybrid productions. Offering a T1.9 maximum aperture, it enables compelling low-light shooting and pronounced subject separation through shallow depth of field. The 85mm focal length places it in telephoto range, making it particularly well-suited for portrait work, interview setups, and tight subject framing.
Designed as a manual focus lens, it delivers the controlled, repeatable focus pulls that professional cinema workflows depend on. Mount compatibility spans PL Mount, Canon EF, and Sony E, providing meaningful flexibility across cinema and mirrorless camera platforms. The 77mm filter thread supports industry-standard filter systems, and the 900g body weight keeps the lens practical for a variety of rig configurations.
With no image stabilization, external stabilization solutions are recommended for handheld operation.
