Compact and lightweight, the DZOFilm VESPID 12mm T2.8 Lens is part of the VESPID series, designed for both independent and high-end full-frame cinematography. Featuring an 80mm front diameter, it seamlessly integrates with virtually any cine-style matte box. Its small form factor makes it an excellent choice for handheld shooting, run-and-gun setups, drones, and gimbals.

Equipped with an interchangeable ARRI PL mount, this fully manual lens is compatible with PL-mount cameras and can be adapted to EF-mount systems using the included Canon EF mount. With full-frame coverage supporting an image circle of up to 46.5mm, the lens ensures no vignetting when used with full-frame sensors.

Full-Frame Coverage – The 12mm focal length covers full-frame sensors, offering a wider perspective. On Super35 sensors, it provides a tighter field of view.

Cinematic Aesthetic – Balancing a modern, technically precise look with the organic character of vintage cinema lenses.

Superior Optical Coating – Reduces glare and specular highlights while maintaining natural contrast, preventing flares from washing out the image.

Smooth, Natural Bokeh – A 10-blade iris produces beautifully rounded out-of-focus highlights.

Compact & Lightweight Design – Despite its small size, it maintains an 80mm front diameter for quick and easy lens swaps.

Magnetic Rear Filter – A built-in magnetic rear mount allows for optional ND filters, helping control exposure without affecting iris settings or depth of field.

Close Focus Capability – A minimum focusing distance of just 8 inches enables detailed close-up shots.

With 270° focus ring rotation for precision pulls and a 75° iris rotation for smooth adjustments, the VESPID 12mm T2.8 is a versatile tool for filmmakers seeking high-quality imagery in a compact form factor.
