Accessory & Filter Compatibility
Key Measurements
-
⭕ Outer Diameter (O.D.): 80mm (Standardized across all focal lengths in the set).
-
🔄 Front Filter Thread: 77mm (Accepts standard screw-on filters directly).
-
Physical Movement: Internal focus design with unified focus and iris gear positions. (The front element does not telescope or rotate, and you do not need to reposition your follow focus motors when swapping between lenses in the set).
Compatible Matte Boxes (Available to Rent)
Compatible Filters
-
Circular Filters (77mm): Ideal for run-and-gun setups or gimbals. All the lenses accept standard 77mm screw-on filters (such as Variable NDs or UV filters) directly on the front thread.
-
Cinema Filters (4×5.65″): For studio setups, pair these lenses with 4×5.65″ glass filters, such as our 7x TIFFEN 4×5.6 IR ND WW Filter Set, using a rod-mounted or clamped matte box.
Recommended Rigging Accessories
-
Wireless Lens Control: Because all focal lengths share unified gear positions, we highly recommend renting the Nucleus-M II Wireless Lens Control System. You can easily swap lenses on set without having to unmount and remount your focus and iris motors.
-
15mm LWS Lens Support: Even though these lenses are incredibly compact and lightweight for full-frame cine primes (weighing roughly 700g to 900g), utilizing a 15mm lens support bracket paired with our Smallrig Adapter Baseplate 15mm is a good safety practice to protect the camera’s mount when flying heavy matte boxes and motors.
⚠️ Rigging Notes for Full-Frame
-
Sensor Coverage & Vignetting: These lenses cover Full-Frame and Vista Vision sensors with a massive 46.5mm image circle. When shooting with the widest lens in the set on a Full-Frame camera, avoid stacking too many screw-on filters or using a rod-mounted matte box pushed too far forward, as it may induce mechanical vignetting at the corners. For the widest fields of view, a clamp-on matte box setup is the safest choice.
Source for Cross-Checking
-
DZOFILM Vespid Primes: You can verify the unified 80mm outer diameter, 77mm filter threads, full-frame/Vista Vision sensor coverage, and uniform gear placement directly via official DZOFILM spec sheets.
