Compact and lightweight, the DZOFilm VESPID 40mm T2.1 Lens is a valuable addition to the VESPID series, catering to both independent filmmakers and high-end full-frame cinematography. With an 80mm front diameter, this lens effortlessly integrates with cine-style matte boxes of virtually any kind. Its petite build makes it an appealing choice for applications involving drones, gimbals, handheld shooting, or run-and-gun scenarios. The lens's versatility is enhanced by its interchangeable PL mount and included EF mount, ensuring compatibility with a diverse range of modern and vintage cine cameras. Full-frame coverage accommodates sensors with an image circle up to 46.5mm, making it suitable for cameras with full-frame sensors without vignetting.

The 16-blade iris, a consistent feature across the VESPID prime lens lineup, produces round out-of-focus highlights, contributing to the lens's natural-looking bokeh. Precision is paramount with the 270° rotation of the focus ring, facilitating accurate focus pulls, while the iris ring offers a generous 64° of rotation. Cine-style gear rings on the focus and iris rings enhance compatibility with various cine-style accessories, including follow focus units, lens motors, and lens control systems. To add convenience, the lens is equipped with a magnetically attached rear filter for ND filters.
