The 18mm Vespid Prime II offers an expansive full frame field of view well suited for landscapes, establishing shots, and immersive close quarters cinematography. With a fast T1.9 maximum aperture, it provides strong low light performance and maintains the ability to create shallow depth of field even at such a wide focal length. The lens supports Cooke /i Technology, enabling the transfer of focus and aperture metadata directly into compatible camera systems.
All lenses in the Vespid Prime II line share a unified design with durable full metal construction, standardized 0.8 MOD cine gears for focus and iris, and a compact size that balances well on handheld rigs, gimbals, and systems like the DJI Ronin 4D. A 16 blade iris produces smooth, natural bokeh, while consistent dimensions and weight across the range simplify lens changes on set. The series delivers full frame coverage, PL mount compatibility, and a T1.9 aperture across all focal lengths, offering versatility for a wide range of professional productions.
