I’m Ben Rakowski, a cinematographer based in Brooklyn. In this video, we’re at Adorama Rental Company putting the DZOFilm Vespid 2 full-frame primes through a full suite of objective lens tests — from flare response to spherical aberration. These mid-range, T1.9 cinema primes impressed us in more ways than one, but I’m saving my opinions until the end. We’ll be taking a deep look at: What We’re Testing: 🔘 Flaring & Veiling 🔘 Bokeh Quality & Spherical Aberration 🔘 Geometric Distortion 🔘 Vignetting / Exposure Falloff 🔘 Resolution & Contrast (wide open vs sweet spot at T5.6) Coming Soon... 🔘 Chromatic Aberration 🔘 Color Cast & Close Focus 🔘 Human Face Rendering in Natural Light Lenses Tested: 🔘 18mm T1.9 🔘 24mm T1.9 🔘 35mm T1.9 🔘 50mm T1.9 🔘 85mm T1.9 🔘 105mm T1.9 From classic ghost flares and warm ring flares to how these lenses hold sharpness edge-to-edge, we’re breaking down what matters for working cinematographers. Plus, we’ll take the Vespids outside for some natural light portrait tests.
