DZOFILM Arles 14/21/40/135/180mm FF / VV Prime Cine Lens PL

Cinematic Excellence Inspired by Light

The DZOFILM Arles Prime series is engineered for cinematographers who demand uncompromising visual quality. Named after the sun-drenched town that inspired Van Gogh, these lenses feature a fast T1.4 aperture to capture the delicate interplay of light and shadow. Whether shooting in low-light environments or seeking a dreamy shallow depth of field, the Arles series provides the tools for high-end narrative expression.

Superior Optical Engineering

Each lens in this set (14mm, 21mm, 40mm, 135mm, and 180mm) is crafted with precision. The 14mm and 21mm focal lengths incorporate large-diameter aspherical elements to correct spherical aberration and minimize wide-angle distortion. Advanced multi-layer nano-coatings with a calibrated blue finish effectively reduce ghosting and stray light, ensuring stable and controllable flares even when shooting directly against light sources.

• Consistent Color: A uniform 5000K color temperature ensures a neutral visual style across the entire range.
• 16-Blade Iris: Delivers smooth, circular bokeh and natural transitions for a painterly aesthetic.
• Floating Elements: Minimizes aberrations and focus breathing during transitions from infinity to close-up.

Versatile Format Coverage

Designed for modern cinema, the Arles series offers extensive coverage. While optimized for Full Frame and Vista Vision sensors, specific focal lengths support larger formats like the ALEXA 65 and medium format cameras (43.8 x 32.9mm). This versatility makes the set suitable for everything from independent documentaries to large-scale feature film productions.

Professional Workflow Integration

Efficiency on set is paramount. The Arles primes feature a uniform 95mm front diameter and 86mm filter threads (note: the 14mm lens is incompatible with threaded filters). With standardized 0.8 MOD gear positioning and a dual interchangeable metric focus scale, lens changes are rapid and precise. The robust mechanical design includes interchangeable PL and EF mounts, providing compatibility with a wide array of professional cinema cameras.
