DZOFilm Vespid II 85mm T1.9 Prime Lens (ARRI PL, Feet)

The DZOFilm Vespid II 85mm T1.9 Prime Lens offers exceptional optical performance in a compact and lightweight design, making it an ideal choice for professional cinematographers seeking a short telephoto perspective. Designed to produce sharp, high-quality imagery with near-zero aberration, this lens is optimised for full-frame ARRI PL-mount cameras and provides consistent results across the Vespid II series. Its fast T1.9 maximum aperture allows for creative low-light shooting and precise control over depth of field. At the same time, Cooke /i technology enables real-time metadata capture to streamline production and post-production workflows.

Covering full-frame and large-format sensors, including VistaVision, the Vespid II 85mm delivers excellent image clarity with minimal distortion and reduced focus breathing. Each lens features an aspherical element for superior aberration control and enhanced close-focus performance, ensuring clean, cinematic results across a range of shooting conditions.

Weighing just 800 g, the Vespid II 85mm T1.9 is well-suited for handheld rigs, gimbals, and drone setups. The series is designed for consistency, with colour-matched optics, uniform weight and length, an 80 mm front diameter compatible with professional matte boxes, cine-style 0.8 MOD focus and aperture gears, and a 300° focus barrel rotation for precise focus pulls. A low-reflection coating on the lens housing further enhances usability and image quality.

With Cooke /i metadata technology, the lens can transmit focal length, aperture, and focus distance directly to compatible cameras through the PL mount or via a LEMO connector. This supports wireless lens control systems, virtual production platforms, and efficient workflows for visual effects and shot replication.

Fitted with a durable ARRI PL mount, the Vespid II 85mm T1.9 integrates seamlessly with a wide range of professional cine cameras. Combining portability, upgraded optics, and advanced metadata capabilities, it is a versatile and reliable telephoto option for modern filmmaking.
