DZOFILM 16mm T2.8 Vespid Prime | Review & Test Footage

[@kmshairstay]

Seems like saving extra for the Tokina 11-20 makes more sense given the breathing, flaring and distortion drawbacks

[@adamouellette5971]

Tokina does not cover vv

[@DBF]

@@adamouellette5971 Longer end does, definitely at 16mm

[@RamikoProductions]

isn't that a super 35 lens?

[@StillPictureProduction]

Every time I see a video about these lenses, they do nothing but disappoint me. I count 4 videos so far. Thanks for the honest review.

[@kolecava]

There is a video which these are flown on the Mini LF, looks fantastic! They remind me the look of Grand Budapest hotel. Very pasteli?

[@scottievee330]

I bought the 35mm Mieke from your review. Good stuff.

[@conrad2nr]

Albeit S35 how does it compare to the Tokina 11-20 Cine version?

[@VivaMediaInc]

We really need to get our hands on some Vespids. We love our Pictor Cine Zooms.

[@jakebaine]

This thing is awesome! Love that flaring. Super dope.

[@djmarzek]

so the irix 15mm T2.6 Cine is better option over this ?

[@ronineditor9920]

Didn't know you guys got the Raptor. How you liking that? I still remember your Ursa 12K video, convinced me to get that, love it. I had RED for a decade but I'm really digging BM these days... but I love the Raptor sensor.

[@CVPTV]

Have you not seen the 1 hour+ review we did for the RAPTOR? We shot with it for months for the review! Jake

[@chazclimberv10]

Other 16mm less expensive lenses are the Xeen he does not mention them.

[@gillesmatheronpro]

Why the lens cap is shaped as this ? Well, I guess this is to avoid the "succion cup" effect. It would, no doubt, appear when you try to pull the cap off the lens after 3 or 4 mm of throw (or so)... making the removal a weird experience, especially in public. Imagine yourself "popping" a lens cap everytime you're about to use your 16 mm optic, the whole crew would flock for (real, French !) Champagne as seagulls would for herrings. Perhaps am I wrong, perhaps not... yet experience tells me, from previous misadventures, this happens and this happens mostly when you don't want it to ! Noises, you know...

[@attic6]

It’s the same cap as the rest of the set.

[@TOS255]

Thanks for sharing🙏

[@Alex_Fuerst_DP]

This lens seems disappointing compared to the rest of the set. I’m hoping @DZOfilm will add a 18mm or 20mm with more consistent characteristics of the set to squeeze in between this and the 25mm. Which are my favorite two focal lengths for wide shots.

[@TobiasBx]

Your b Roll Looks so nice 🥰

[@filippochiesa201]

Did you use a speed booster? In my tests I didn't notice that kind of flare. Thanks.

[@CVPTV]

Nope, native on out RED V-RAPTOR in 8K 17:9. You probably didn’t notice it if you shot on a more regular size 16:9 full frame format and sensor. Jake

[@kasperdalkarl]

@@CVPTV I asked DZO about this and they said they never received feedback about the flare you guys showed here.

[@loudandclearmedia]

That may actually be the worst results for a cine lens review I've ever watched. Props to you guys for keeping it real!

[@capturedbytymel]

I don't know, but looking at that fire scene at night seemed so lackluster. Seriously can get better-looking footage with my iPhone 12 max compared to that RED and lens combo.

[@cubul32]

How do you ND this lens?

[@CVPTV]

You could either use rear filtration if you are adapting it or with front, you will need to test and make sure whatever matte box solution you use doesn't vignette with the sensor format you are wanting to use. If you are looking to grab a solution for it, email us at [e-mail] Jake

[@ReC86661]

what happend to the red v-raptor review?=

[@CVPTV]

It’s coming out Wednesday! Jake

[@ReC86661]

@@CVPTV Awesome!

[@thomvarey]

CA, breathing, distortion, weird flares. I really want to like these lenses but this and the whole set seems to disappoint. Great review though! Hoping the new Samyang Meisters check all the boxes...

[@FacesOfLA]

Sony 16-35 2.8 cannot be beat

[@MountUpMedia]

I have the 7lens DZO set, I will not be getting this one. Laowa are way better!

[@AlexDerrick_DP]

I like Laowa too!

[@c8vegas]

Me too, just got the 6 lens set but unfortunately won’t be getting this lens due to that awful flare.

[@stanleystevens6278]

Maybe Meike will make a better 16mm FF cine lens than this one.

[@frankiefilms4142]

Tokina 11-20 covers full frame from 16mm up too so I won't be getting this one

[@Kalimforgetthen]

DZO 40mm is King

[@Dezdirectz]

You think so?

[@Satysatonachair]

I mean guys, yes, it flares. But please look at these comparison and see how the Cooke flares. Lenses flare sometimes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZPHpp93oN2Lp5o

[@sickhcivc]

def dont like that amount of flare

[@cinelensgeeky3648]

Worse than expected, won’t be getting this lens
