Impressive Low-Light Capabilities

With an aperture range of T2.8 to T22, the lens promises serious precision in low-lit situations. The fast aperture gives creators the freedom to shoot dark scenes without compromising on quality. No fuzzy or grainy footage here. The Vespid 16mm lens delivers crisp low-lit and wide-angle results to cohesively capture distraction-free footage that best tells each story.

Stunning Quality with Serious Functionality

DZOFILM’s lenses are known for producing stellar footage, and this lens is no exception. Like the other Vespid lenses, it boasts negligible breathing effects with neutral colors and soft-skin rendering to produce a lifelike aesthetic that brings viewers into each scene. Additionally, a close-focusing distance of ten inches lets creators capture content up close or from afar, ensuring they’re prepared for whatever comes.

Add to this the Vespid 16mm lens’ 16 blades of diaphragm, which produce stunning round bokeh that helps the subject clearly stand out. This lens is by far one of the best wide-angle lenses for filmmakers. Plus, at 930 g, it’s also highly portable which means on-the-go, run-and-gun, and travel creators can pack it along while adding virtually no weight to their packs.
