FAQs
What camera sensor sizes does this lens cover?
The DZOFILM Vespid Prime 75mm T2.1 lens covers full-frame sensors and is also compatible with Vista Vision large-format sensors.
How do I clean the lens elements?
Use a soft lens brush or air blower for dust. For smudges, use a microfiber lens cloth with a drop of lens cleaning solution, wiping gently in a circular motion.
What is the purpose of the APO design?
The APO (Apochromatic) design corrects for chromatic aberrations, resulting in sharper images with more accurate color reproduction.
Can I use this lens with autofocus cameras?
No, the DZOFILM Vespid Prime 75mm T2.1 lens is a fully manual lens and does not support autofocus.
What is the front diameter for matte box compatibility?
The lens has a front diameter of 80mm, making it compatible with most standard cinema-style matte boxes.
What is focus breathing?
Focus breathing is the change in the lens's field of view when the focus is adjusted. This lens is designed to minimize that effect for smoother focus transitions.
What is the filter thread size?
The lens features a 77mm filter thread for attaching screw-in filters.
Troubleshooting
Lens is not focusing smoothly
Ensure the focus ring is clean and free of debris. If using an adapter, check for proper alignment and secure fit.
Image appears soft or blurry
Confirm the lens is properly seated on the camera mount. Ensure the focus is accurately set for the desired subject distance. Check for dirt or smudges on the lens elements.
Focus breathing is noticeable
While minimized, some breathing may occur at extreme focus pulls. Practice smooth, deliberate focus adjustments. Ensure the lens is securely mounted.
Iris is not adjusting
This is a fully manual lens. The iris is controlled by the manual ring on the lens barrel. Ensure you are rotating the correct ring.
