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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Sony 16-35 2.8 cannot be beat

Your b Roll Looks so nice 🥰

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...

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.

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.

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

Thanks for sharing🙏

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

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

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...

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

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

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

DZO 40mm is King

How do you ND this lens?

what happend to the red v-raptor review?=

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

I mean guys, yes, it flares. But please look at these comparison and see how the Cooke flares. Lenses flare sometimes. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GbdulAkxXq8.html

def dont like that amount of flare

Worse than expected, won’t be getting this lens
