Thanks Paule, I agree both are great but from what I saw I also prefer the dzo vespids. It’s just overall great to see what lenses you can get nowadays in comparison to 10 years ago there was nothing at that price point

Thanks for this Paule, what a great breakdown. I have a set of the Vespids and really like how many focal length options there are plus the mix of vintage and modern characteristics. I am confused about the lens caps because mine shipped with the plastic ones but they have stickers on each lens which show the focal length + minimum focus distance. Still not as nice as the Nisi's metal cap but better than the bare plastic I see for many others!

Thanks Matt, really appreciate it :) Yes mine didn’t come with a front cap where you could see the focal length.

I prefer the NISI - after years of using vintage lenses and ‘filters’ to soften the image because I thought it was more filmic. I discovered how wrong I was. Once you grade properly and have it projected onto a cinema screen. You’ll regret not having the sharpest lens possible.

Great presentation and comparison. I like the dzo better. The nisi lenses look a bit too sharp for my liking. I would love to see you test and review the Dulens Apo Mini primes "vintage series"

I never got any samples from Meike. Even though I asked several times.

Great comparrison, love your channel. Can you do product shot / beauty with the vespid? I like them better but I'm woriied aboit CA when doing packshots. Very indicedided on which set to buy.... if you can reference any of your work shot with the vespid it would be very much apreciated! PS the Seven scene was simply beautiful.

Thank you I really appreciate it :) I don’t have anything that is beauty unfortunately. I can see if I can setup a product shot. What would be helpful to you?

Thanks 🙏 and I still would pick the vespids over the Athenas today.

You can add flares in post. I prefer the color neutrally of the NiSi.

You forgot to mention the one major flaw of the Nisi set, which is the rear protruding element during focus adjustment that'll prevent you from mounting the lens on speedbooster or most filter adapters, making it less useful on mirrorless and/or super35 bodies than the Vespid.

Thanks for pointing this out.

I’m thinking of the NiSi for my R5c and C70. As affordable as they are, though, almost $6k is still a lot of money for me to shell out.

True it’s not cheap but compared to other cine lenses it is somewhat affordable. Thanks for watching

One downside of Nisi is that you can't mount the speedbooster onto it, meaning C70 can't get the full-frame look with Nisi like with DZO.

Does the 25mm nisi work with the meike pl to rf drop in nd filter?

To much blue / purple in the DZO. All around the NISI looks better and produces the more organic image. A yellow / green cast is much better than what DZO gives
