The VESPID PRIME 2 85mm T1.9 is a portrait-optimized telephoto prime that channels the wasp’s precise targeting to deliver flattering imagery for creators. Designed for weddings, fashion shoots, narrative close-ups, and subject isolation in busy environments, this full-frame lens upgrades every aspect of performance—from optics to workflow—making professional telephoto quality accessible to indie filmmakers and content creators. It features a constant T1.9 aperture (paired with a 10-blade iris) and custom-calibrated aspherical elements, plus multi-layer nano-coatings that suppress chromatic aberration to preserve pure, natural skin tones. A floating element system ensures sharpness from infinity to 1:7.5 magnification (ideal for tight portrait details), while its ultra-compact build (800g, 80mm front diameter/barrel length) makes it the most compact T1.9 Vista Vision 85mm prime on the market. With a 46.5mm image circle, it supports full-frame/Vista Vision cameras (RED V-Raptor VV, ARRI Alexa LF) and select medium-format systems, plus integrated Cooke /i Protocol and a 5-pin Lemo Interface to streamline post-production and future-proof workflows.


Portrait-Optimized Focal Length: Flattering Compression & Isolation
The 85mm telephoto focal length is celebrated for its ability to create flattering facial compression—softening features while maintaining natural proportions, making it the gold standard for portraits. It excels at isolating subjects from busy backgrounds (e.g., wedding receptions, street fashion) by narrowing the field of view, while its reach lets photographers maintain a comfortable distance from subjects to capture authentic expressions. For narrative work, it’s perfect for intimate close-ups that draw viewers into character emotions, balancing intimacy with cinematic scale.

Optics Tuned for Skin Tones & Cinematic Bokeh
At the core of the 85mm T1.9 is optical engineering tailored for portrait excellence. Custom-calibrated aspherical elements minimize distortion and spherical aberration, ensuring straight lines and balanced framing, while multi-layer nano-coatings suppress reflections and stray light (common in studio or outdoor portrait lighting) to produce clean, vibrant imagery. The lens actively targets chromatic aberration—critical for skin tone accuracy—delivering pure, natural hues without post-production color correction. The 10-blade iris with a linear scale creates smooth, gradual bokeh (often called “bokeh balls”) that softens backgrounds without distracting from the subject, enhancing the cinematic feel of every shot.


Compact Telephoto Design: Ideal for Mobile Portrait Shoots
Breaking the mold of bulky portrait telephotos, the 85mm T1.9 weighs just 800g and features a uniform 80mm front diameter and barrel length—making it exceptionally portable for on-location shoots. It balances effortlessly on DJI Ronin 4D gimbals (perfect for tracking wedding couples or fashion models) and mounts easily on tripods for studio setups. The consistent 80mm front diameter enables quick, tool-free filter swaps (e.g., ND filters for outdoor shoots) without adapter rings, while its robust all-metal body withstands the rigors of wedding days, fashion shows, or on-location narrative shoots. Its compact size fits comfortably in camera bags, ideal for creators who need to move between setups quickly.

Smart Workflow Integration: Focus on Creativity, Not Logistics
The 85mm T1.9 is built to streamline portrait and narrative workflows, with integrated Cooke /i Protocol fully compatible with ARRI, RED, Blackmagic, Sony, and Canon cinema cameras. It automatically records real-time lens data (T-stop, focus distance) directly to the camera, eliminating manual input errors and speeding up post-production editing, color grading, and retouching. The 5-pin Lemo Interface future-proofs the lens for wireless follow-focus systems—essential for precise focus pulls in narrative shoots—and professional cine accessories, letting teams scale their setup as projects grow. This integration frees creators to focus on framing and directing, not technical adjustments.
