DZOFilm continues to impress me with their spherical lens offerings, and Vespid 2 is no exception. This is my full review of the 6-lens Vespid 2 set, including the 18mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 105mm focal lengths. All six lenses feature T1.9 speed, cover Vista-Vision and beyond, all at the exact same 6-inch length and roughly 800 gram weight. They use the same glass and coating formula as their bigger Arles siblings, and are my #1 recommendation for new cinematographers looking to get into real cine lenses for the first time.
Why I love the 35mm focal length: youtube.com/watch?v=fLblRxb8JUk
