My New Cine Lenses: DZOFILM Vespid Primes

I just got a new set of Cinema Lenses for use on my Blackmagic Design Ursa Mini Pro G2 and Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro. These cinema lenses are for my work as a commercial director of photography, music video director, music video director of photography and narrative DoP.
This is my DZOFilm Vespid Prime Review, looking at the DZO Vespid Prime Character, Flares, Consistency and build quality. This DZO Vespid Prime review comes after 3 months of using them, using DZOfilm lenses on set, in run and gun camera setups and more.
HUGE shoutout to Monique Jonas for being our dancer. The full video will release soon!

Me who doesn’t really know much about cinematography but wants more mumbo, and thinks it is fascinating: Nice

lolol! I was just thinking the exact same thing!

[@shadodragonette]

I have a friend who MIGHT be interested, but this is all way over my head!

[@0ph3li49]

Same tho

[@thecatdragon589]

i don’t know why, but mumbo talking about cameras makes me really happy. even if i don’t understand a word of what he’s saying

[@WillSmith-kc1wy]

i completely agree

[@randomhuman731]

The style of this video is so calming. I really like it.

[@loloava__2037]

half way through and I have no idea what he's talking about, but I like it.

I have no clue what those words mean but you seem happy which is all what matters!

I always love mumbo weather in hermitvraft or real live, he is funny and creative and the way he talk is funny too the way sometimes he "chaffed a bit" is makeing my day

[@Benjbratton]

I love all the camera nerdiness! I'm a DP and cinematographer myself and love talking with others who share the passion. I've been watching your stuff for the past seven years (even before the filming channel), and it's always been such an inspiration. Keep up the great work!

[@evanray6608]

watching this is just like "i like ur funny words magic man"

It looks wonderful. Always can tell if it's a good lens

[@gregrosetzky9130]

thanks for this lovely review - helps a lot!!

[@YOUAREMYKIN]

Awesome review!

[@deepseadiver8191]

Very nice review and beautiful footage. Do you know if it's ok to buy these lenses individually rather that an entire set in terms of how the are matching?

[@dedanny08]

these are cool, and relatively affordable! Would love to use the set. Btw you have a very nice color grade! Would love to see what u do with color grading in premiere or davinci!

[@Efficiencyts]

Those studio shots on the gimbal were insane, thought you might've taken those from the lens maker's promo video!

[@StudStudios1]

Amazing man!! Wish I had something like that!

[@danielcasado6431]

Great video man

[@buddyfx7026]

Beautiful review, nice mix of B-Roll, very thought-out w/out a bunch of filler. Made 4min and 24sec flow so well..

[@thomasjmcclure]

about to pick up some of these to go with my 6k pro! love the look youre getting out of them. have you made luts? or have a place to purchase the grain you use with your footage? its beautiful

[@DisruptorAlliance]

Great review.. 🙏🏼🎥

[@FTGTapGod]

These are great lenses! I used them on a feature with the RED Gemini and ZCAM F6 for a few weeks and really enjoyed them.

do you have the video you shot with them on the red i would love to see?

I just love that background blur on the 75’s, it looks amazing for closeups! Especially shots of your gf!

[@bjarkisteinnpetursson3622]

With these and the Pictor zooms, I feel like the Rokinon to DZOFilm pipeline is going to be huge

Me who enjoys shooting videos but is still very much old school at this point and enjoys seeing "new" or at least the popular equipment available now 🤣! Yeah thats me with my rig! Canon XL1 with a 16x zoom, a 21 year old Mini DV Pro cam (best in its class for its day). Works like a champ! Just difficult to process🤨!

[@thomasonishi.]

I want to see some of the work in your portfolio, even the ads

[@surya5077]

You should try the Sirui anamorphics, they are incredible

[@TakeMasaki]

I am looking forward to get a set of Vespid Primes, and now I am a bit confused of which mount should I chose that's more future prove and more versatile in-terms of working with other cameras.

[@zacharyj.5329]

Great review my friend. Thoughts on these compared to Leica R or Zeiss Standard Speed 2.1? Skin tones seem to lean magenta with less expensive lenses, which is why I like the R set. They lean warmer and yellow.

[@thecrazyparrot1083]

I’ve been looking around for a née good set of lenses as I’ve broken a lot of the old ones I have, maybe I’ll borrow some of these from a friend and see if they’re worth buying

[@Blendonline]

Do the Vespids work with Metabones speed booster the opening shot looked like the pocket 4K

[@jvisuals4345]

What gimbal are you using in this video? Fantastic review

[@JonasStuart]

Nice one. I'm stepping away from cinema lenses (Meikes MFT on my P4K which I've been really happy with for the money) to Zeiss Milvus superspeeds. Just love the first in my collection (50mm f1.4) but realise already I'm going to miss the physical form factor of the Meikes - thankfully focus breathing isn't an issue despite being a photographic lens (you can also easily de-click the aperture by design which is a nice touch!) Thanks for the tip re tight focus ring. I had a major panic at first with this lens but after a few weeks it too has limbered up enough for my nucleus nano °¬)

[@link_8159]

Hey, love your stuff. Would you be able to tell me the rig that you have the camera on. It has “2 Story” on it. Thanks

[@romain_do]

Great video - thanks for sharing ! *reaching for my credit card to buy a new lens*

[@ArmandD]

Will you make a video on anamorphic lenses?

[@hopii5709]

Ooooooooo kewl :>

[@inspiringstories6727]

hello Mumbo, please what gimbal were you using with the BMPCC 6K PRO?

[@datruestmedia5654]

How is it using the full frame lenses on a super 35 are you using a meta bones or just glass straight to the sensor?

[@shacharcaesari1311]

Amezing video i be very happy if you will upload more videos in this channel (i also love the main channel)

[@bricefurne5168]

Great video, very instructive. Personnaly I choose the competition : Meike FF. I'm curious about the camera you used at 02'28", and your color correction process. Do you use LUTs ? I assume you don't.

[@the5amcreative305]

why did you choose meike over these?

[@bricefurne5168]

I had the chance to test both, and I prefered the color and caracter of Meike. It is subtle. Both brand are great lenses makers.

[@jenniferweber8260]

2:33 Mumbo: Arguably the most important point... Me: ah yes Kubo is the most important po... Mumbo: ...their character Me: oh yeah... I guess that's also important

[@AliceTyrell]

Interesting to see you step away from anamorphic, I know you've been loving your Schneider 2x rig. Is that taking a back seat to this new spherical set?

[@Mumbo]

Still love the anamorphic, it's just a very specific lens for a very specific type of shoot!

[@AliceTyrell]

@@Mumbo I'd love a video on that rig by the way, I know it's pretty diy and I'd love to see what you did. I've been trying to hunt down the 2x you used but haven't found any in good condition from good sellers. The shots are phenomenal.

[@isaacbedford3644]

@@AliceTyrell I recommend the Isco ultra star

[@AliceTyrell]

@@isaacbedford3644 I don't love the blue flares, but I'll wait for part three of the media division series where they strip the coatings, because I did like the brief test shots they teased after removal

[@isaacbedford3644]

@@AliceTyrell I'me looking forward to part 3 aswell. This isco can have red, green, gold, or blue flares depending on the coating

[@Veptis]

Do you put filmgrain on the whole video? Because it's really apparent in the slides but not in the footage.

[@royalsuperbigpan]

hey mumbo you got any idea of high mm lenses i could get for my cannon eos 800d, id like to use them for astrophotography the current lens i use is 18-mm55mm for refrence

[@AdamLangdon]

Did you use a BPM on the dancer shots?

[@mcarlkv53]

do you need a pl mount for these lenses or is it ok with ef mount?

[@sickhcivc]

It's been a year, how's the durability now?

[@s26]

Love mumbo

[@carcreationsyt]

I would love to know type of shots you can use that change the emotion of the shot.

[@jamesshort6856]

In short: Longer focal length feels more disconnected, shorter feels closer, and more intimate. Framing the person low down makes them feel more innocent, framing them tight to the top makes them feel depressed. Framing looking into the space makes it feel happier and adventurous, framing with less space is similar to framing near the top. I'm sure there are plenty of videos on this topic, but I too would love mumbo to make a video on it

[@carcreationsyt]

@@jamesshort6856 Interesting... I should probably think about that more when I film.

[@Lp-ze1tg]

I believe that they are good above budget cine lens. Their cheapest model is selling for $1800 CAD retail. My budget Samyang cine lens currently retail for $600 CAD plus is already made my wallet pretty tight. 😀

[@standardcoolness5894]

[@rossprohaska6263]

This isn’t so much of a question about the lenses but…Who did the first choice of music you used? It is used in the MasterClass for Aaron Sorkin and I have been dying to find it! BTW. Did love the review as I am bouncing against my brain of either getting a set of these or the DZO Pictor zooms…

sadly no E mount available. Also your where to buy link is scuffed, atleast for me. And what do they cost? Couldn't find the price on the website, because again the link is busted

[@azik5607]

Is T the modern(ish) equivalent of f stops? I’ve only ever used vintage lenses and as far as i know they’ve only got f stops, and sometimes don’t have hard stops either r

[@jamesshort6856]

T stops are the f stop modified for light transmission. An f stop is a measurement of the apature itself, whereas a t stop is a measurement of light, meaning it is more accurate to work out exposure with. Generally it is only on cine lenses

[@DuckProductions]

I quality of this video is making my laptop put its fans on max

[@DangLeProject92]

what if you only buy 1 cine lens, which focal lengh will you buy 35 or 50 ? ( For 1 man band filmmaker )

[@volt416]

Depends a bit on your sensor size, but you cant go wrong with a 35mm

[@FelixLarios1234]

What is the camera lens they use in avengers endgame? I like the cinematic look in the movie

[@jamesshort6856]

I believe the panavision 70 anamorphics. They shot that film on the arri 65 or imax mostly, which has an extremely large sensor, and there aren't many lenses that cover it

[@samgerers]

And when BMPCC 6K Pro video? We know you have one ;)

[@SolidBlueBlocks]

What is the difference between t stops and f stops?

[@jamesshort6856]

F stops are a physical measurement of the opening in the lens, t stops are what the f stop would be if there was no light lost to other things. T in t stop stands for transmission of light. It is much more accurate, and better for judging exposure. T stops are generally only on cine lenses.
