Golden Coating,
Retro Aesthetics

Special coating techniques enhance the unique characteristics of vintage cine lenses, creating more possibilities for evocative and stylistic filming.

The unconventional anodized aluminum alloy in silver provides a classic and stylish appearance that recalls the golden age of cinema.

Amber Hue, Craft Eternity

Drawing inspiration from classic vintage lenses for filmmaking, these optics offer precisely controllable amber halation - a tool for intentional expression rather than just an effect. The controllable warm tangerine glow evokes sun-soaked memories, rich in sensual and poetic naturalistic colors. It’s especially powerful for Arthouse and Atmospheric work where the visual language needs to transition between reality and dreams.

Violet Tint, Alluring Reverie

The amber coating channels what cinematographers love most about vintage lenses for filmmaking - the ability to add a warm soft tint on the cold bluish image that renders skin tones beautifully. Vintage colors and delicate nuances, are suitable for the presentation of dreamlike surreal moments.

Vintage Look,
Modern Composition

Inspired by the industrial design of 1970s and Mondrian’s paintings, much like classic lenses, the silver appearance is subtly embellished with red and blue inks for a retro yet vibrant look. At the same time, the rounded elements and rectangular lettering present modernity with geometric balance.

Exquisite Size, Compactly Solid

The lens housing is made of aluminum alloy, sturdy and durable to navigate different environments. Lightweight and compact body consistent with Vespid Prime can be easily grasped with one hand, with matte finish and delicate texture.
