For example I have the Sigma FF 20mm T1.5 which has almost no breathing but not the others in that line - as tested by Lens Test Home.)(which is why I have ruled out the Sigma FF 35mm T1.5)
At the current moment the 75mm is definitely standing out as a favorite, but for no particular technical reasoning. I'm just loving the focal with regards to a lot of shots tight on my subject.
Otherwise, I find all the lenses are equally well crafted and have consistent and amazing optical quality. It feels like they all have similar little to no focus breathing, but I haven't conducted a truly scientific test with that regard. I'll probably be doing one soon now that I've gotten a lot of great looking footage. But I have more shoots coming up that are pure shoots and not scientific tests.

That's great to hear! I do love my DZOFilm Pictor Zooms as well, and find that they match up well with the DZOFilm Vespid Primes. I find that I'm going to be recommending both zooms and primes to a lot of people.

The lenses do a good job controlling Chromatic Aberration. Jeffrey, I can see a very small amount on the lettering, that can be expected, even Master Primes can deliver subtle CA. High contrast
Personally, the Zeiss Otus Collection can’t be beaten, in my opinion, when it comes to value and quality.
Thank you! As far as Chromatic Aberration I do find these lenses do an amazing job of controlling it. I'm having a very hard time finding it in a lot of the images. There's some more video content coming that might illustrate this further. Need to do the post work on that footage. But as I've said I still have shoots ahead as well. But when it comes to CA if it's not obtrusive and just slightly subtle I can accept that. So far these lenses are in that category of handling the CA so well that it's not even on my mind when looking at the images.
The Zeiss Otus is definitely a very good lens. I've seen a lot of incredibly well shot footage with those. But very different look and character compared to these Vespid Primes.

Thank you, Ryan! More videos are coming. I just posted a beach one above.
