DZO Vespid Primes vs. Canon FDs (practical comparison)

[@davidp158]

I recently got the Vespid 21, 40 and 75 and like them very much. Lots of character, minimal focus breathing and good color matching between lenses. The 21, 40 and 75 set is a great range, and I don't miss a 35mm at all. The 40 does what I normally use a 50 for, as I like a slightly wider focal length. I may add the 28 down the road, but will probably get the Vespid 90mm macro first.

Great choice!

[@andrewsperspective]

The DZOs are super clean and less hazy More contrast But it still feels organic. Thank you for the video!!

[@timothy_films]

Thanks for watching!

[@benoneilldp]

Perfect comparison! exactly what I was looking for :) Think I might pick up the Vespids

[@timothy_films]

Glad I could help!

[@f0t0b0y]

Color contrast to canon. But so damn close.

[@GarrettWare]

Rented the Vespids for a spec ad earlier this year and they are killer!

[@timothy_films]

Great lenses!

[@Kalimforgetthen]

@@timothy_films yes. We film movies in spain for netflix with DZos. With that price its absolut not comparable

[@SmartphoneStorytellers]

Thanks for the shoutout! I'm going to need those lenses back, though...

[@timothy_films]

Haha ok 🥲

[@randomgeocacher]

Looking at a small iPhone screen I thought everything looked great :) there was a few differences with sharper between highlight with the window, but you’d have to be very concerned with your visual storytelling. I’d say the indoor scenes seemed slightly more pleasing on the FDs, for the outdoor shots no opinion. Maybe should rewatch this on a proper screen and see if there are more obvious differences then :)

Interesting

I actually like the fd more than dzo.

[@jonahwalker4425]

DZO's are so good. I love the still comparisons you throw in at the end. Really shows the strengthes of the Vespids.

[@OwoyemiMichael]

I thoroughly enjoted this lens review and how you did it, really nice. The Vespid primes looks good but in my opinion the Canin FD have something to them that I kinda enjoyed. All the lenses look good. Keep uk the good work.

[@timothy_films]

Thanks!

[@michialharris1850]

I wish there was a side by side

[@michialharris1850]

How did you get you pocket 4k images to look like that.

[@timothy_films]

Lots of practice and knowing the limitations and strengths of the camera

[@fivefoldsymmetry]

21 is amazing. I didn't have this length, but I definitely will.

[@timothy_films]

Go for it!

[@romeolopezaldana2099]

Hey! Great video. where did you get de Canon FDs?

[@timothy_films]

I bought them locally from the original owner and then converted them to EF mount

[@khalafilyas2367]

dzo looks great despite the vignetting, would love for you to test out the mitakon s35 speedmasters

[@timothy_films]
