FF/VV Format for
Professional Filmmaking
This vintage-inspired lens series covers full-frame cine camera sensors with an image circle up to 46.5mm across the range - from wide-angle, standard, to telephoto. Cinematographers will appreciate how the vintage characteristics stay consistent through focal length changes, maintaining that classic look whether you’re shooting expansive wides or tight close-ups on any full-frame cinema platform.
Consistent Mechanics
Smooth Operation
Vespid Retro has the same reliable mechanical performance as the original Vespid Prime, with uniform and constant position of focus ring and iris ring. No adjustment needed when changing the lens. These retro cinema lenses also combine a classic 270-degree focus rotation with modern mount versatility. Switch between PL and EF mounts to cover your production needs, from ARRI to Canon cinema cameras, etc.
