DZOFilm KOOP Filter for Vespid/Catta Ace PL-Mount – Standard Set

FULL DESCRIPTION

The DZOFilm KOOP Filter for Vespid/Catta Ace PL-Mount is a cine-grade filter set designed for professional users of the PL-mount zoom lenses in the Vespid and Catta Ace series. With its magnetic rear-element mount system, the set allows fast attachment to the lens’ rear group, offering both protection and creative exposure control. Rear element protection is critical in film workflows, where dust, moisture or scratches on the back of the lens can compromise image quality.

The target audience includes cinematographers, professional videographers, rental houses and camera crews using Vespid or Catta Ace PL-mount cine zoom lenses. This kit is ideal for those requiring a compact, fast-mount system to both protect optics and enable ND filtering in one workflow, without switching lenses or employing large front-mounted filter systems.

Specifically, the magnetic mount allows the filters to snap into place at the rear of the lens, maintaining balance and optical integrity. The ND filters provide flexible light reduction for bright conditions or shallow depth-of-field control, while the UV filter safeguards the rear element and reduces bluish daylight cast. The set is engineered for optical consistency and professional output, with a nano multi-coating to minimise light loss and preserve image quality.

FAQ

Which lenses is this filter set compatible with?

It is designed for PL-mount cine zoom lenses of the DZOFilm Vespid and Catta Ace series. If you use lenses with a different mount or series, check compatibility first.

Can I use these filters on non-PL lenses or other brands?

The system is specifically engineered for PL-mount Vespid and Catta Ace lenses. Using it on different lens mounts may require additional adapters or may not deliver optimal results.

How fast is the mounting process?

The magnetic rear-element mount allows attachment in seconds, making it ideal for production environments where speed and flexibility are essential.

Do the magnetic filters affect image quality or cause vignetting?

No — the system is built to preserve the lens’s optical performance and maintain balance. The nano-coating and rear-element design ensure minimal impact across the image field. However, as with any optical accessory, always test in your setup.

What’s the difference between the Standard Set and the Artistic Set?

The Standard Set includes L365 UV and three ND filters (ND4/8/16) plus mounting hardware. The Artistic Set adds creative filters such as Black Mist 1/4, Blue Streak and a DIY Bokeh filter set for stylised effects.

What is the purpose of the shim-set?

The shim-set provides a selection of thin spacers that allow precise alignment between the adapter ring and the lens rear element, ensuring a snug and stable fit — especially important in cine production environments with vibration and rigging.
