What is the filter size of the VESPID 125mm T2.1?

The lens has a front filter thread size of M77 (77mm diameter).

How should I clean the lens?

Use a blower to remove dust and lint. For smudges or fingerprints, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens-cleaning tissue, and wipe from the center outward in a circular motion. Never use organic solvents like paint thinner or benzene.

What is the flange back adjustment procedure?

Attach the lens to the camera, set aperture to T4, focus to 1.6m (using a calibration tool), and observe the deviation on the scale. Add or remove shims according to the reference table in the manual. Use the provided Star Chart from DZOFilm's website for best accuracy.

Can I use this lens on a Super 35 camera?

Yes, the lens covers a full frame image circle (φ46.5mm) and can be used on Super 35 cameras, providing a narrower field of view equivalent to a longer focal length.

What is the weight of the VESPID 125mm T2.1?

The lens weighs approximately 924 grams.

Is the lens weather-sealed?

What is the close focus distance?

The minimum focus distance from the sensor plane is 1.5 meters (5 feet).

Does this lens exhibit focus breathing?

The VESPID series is designed for minimal focus breathing, ensuring stable framing when changing focus.

Lens Control

Focus Control

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.
