Frequently Asked Questions - VESPID 90mm T2.8 Lens DZOFilm

How should I clean the lens?

Use a blower to remove dust and lint. For smudges, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft, clean cloth or lens-cleaning tissue and clean from the center outward using circular motions. Never use organic solvents like paint thinner or benzene. Do not touch the glass with fingers.

What is flange back adjustment and why is it needed?

Flange back adjustment ensures the lens focuses accurately at infinity. Due to camera tolerances, you may need to adjust the shims. Use a star chart or calibration tool, set focus to 1.6m, and check the deviation. Then add or remove shims according to the adjustment reference table provided in the manual.

What is the warranty period for this lens?

DZOFilm grants a minimum warranty of one year from the date of purchase through authorized dealers. The warranty covers material and workmanship defects under normal use. Keep your proof of purchase for service.

Is the lens compatible with full-frame cameras?

What is the minimum focusing distance?

The close focus from the sensor plane is 0.291 meters (approximately 1 foot), allowing macro photography with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:1.5.

How do I adjust the aperture?

Rotate the aperture ring on the lens to stop down (increase T-stop) or open up (decrease T-stop). The ring has a maximum rotation of 84° for smooth manual control.

What filter size does the lens use?

The lens has a 77mm filter thread (M77). You can attach screw-in filters of that size.

Can I use this lens with an EF mount camera?

Yes, the lens is available in PL and EF mounts. The EF mount version has a flange distance of 44mm, compatible with Canon EF-mount cameras.

How should I store the lens when not in use?

Attach the front and rear caps. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, naphtha, or camphor moth balls. Avoid extreme heat to prevent damage or warping.

Rotate the focus ring to increase or decrease the focus distance.

Focusing Ring

Aperture Control

Rotate the aperture ring to stop aperture down, raising the T-stop and narrowing the aperture, or lower the T-stop to widen the aperture.

Aperture Ring

Every Vespid lens will process flange back adjustment on standard. But due to the tolerance of different cameras, to achieve the best performance of this product and to match the cameras, please adjust flange back of the product.

1.Preparation

Take Vespid 50mm as an example:

Step One: Ready your subject and calibration tool. You can use a "Star Chart", or other high-resolution black-and-white objects; download the "Back focus Calibration Tool for Prime Lens" (short for "Calibration Tool") on the official website.

Note: You can download and print the chart on DZOFILM website-Download-Star Chart for Adjusting Back Flange (Click to jump to the website)

Step Two: Attach the lens to the camera and adjust the aperture to T4;

Step Three: Make the pointer align with the 1.6m scale on focusing ring, paste calibration tool on the ring with middle line of the tool aligning the 1.6m scale and the scale pointer (or choose 5' focusing scale).

Step Four: Set the object 1.6m away from the camera sensor plane, and adjust it to the center of the whole image.

Set the object 1.6m away from the camera sensor plane, and adjust it to the center of the whole image.

2.Flange Back Adjustment

Please adjust as the following steps:

Step One: Rotate the focus ring until the image to its clearest. Take the horizontal line in the middle of the calibration tool as the reference and observe the position of the deviating scale pointer to get the number of horizontal lines.

Note: The direction of infinity indicates positive deviation value.

The direction of the closest focusing distance indicates negative deviation value.

If there are more than three horizontal lines, add or subtract the corresponding value.

Example: If the scale pointer points to 3 spaces in the direction of the closest focusing distance, the deviation value is -3.

If the scale pointer points to 4 spaces in the direction of infinity, the deviation value is +4. At this situation, the shim value of "+3" needs to be added to the shim value of "+1".

Step Two: According to the deviation value and the reference below, add or subtract the corresponding shim to complete the flange back adjustment.
