DZOFILM Arles 14/21/25/35/40/50/75/100/135/180mm FF/VV Prime Cine 10-Lens Kit PL

The Dzofilm Arles Prime lens series takes its name from the picturesque town of Arles in the south of France, a cherished source of inspiration for artist Vincent van Gogh. Known for its abundant sunlight and vibrant colors in all seasons, Arles catalyzed van Gogh's departure from conventional artistic styles.

DZOFILM's Arles Prime series, with its T1.4 fast apertures, captures the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, igniting new possibilities for artistic expression and cinematic creativity.

High-Speed Prime for ultimate visual quality

With a T1.4 ultra-wide aperture, Arles Prime delivers a rich light intake, excelling in low-light and complex shooting conditions. It creates a stunningly dreamy shallow depth of field and accurately highlights every narrative detail.
At wide-open aperture, the lens ensures smooth brightness transitions and clear reproduction of intricate light and shadow details. It supports high frame rate shooting without compromising image quality, producing smooth and exquisite film images.

Precision engineered for impeccable clarity

The Arles series uses advanced multi-layer nano-coating technology and features a specially calibrated blue coating to minimize reflections and effectively reduce stray light and ghosting. This ensures stable and controllable flares.

The internal lens structure uses sandblasting and anodizing techniques to create a micro-level anti-reflective coating with ultra-low reflectivity, reducing diffuse reflections. Even when shooting directly into the light, the lenses provide clean and sharp images.
Across the entire focal length, color temperatures remain consistent around 5000K, faithfully reproducing vivid, lifelike colors and presenting a natural, neutral visual style.

Cinematic depth like a painterly rendering

Arles Prime has 16 aperture blades, delivering lovely circular bokeh and ensuring smooth transitions between areas of focus and blur. At maximum aperture, it provides a soft, low-contrast look, while slightly swirling bokeh at the periphery adds a distinctive quality to the image, enhancing the emotional depth of each frame.

Lens Breathing

Its minimal breathing immerses viewers in each frame, enhancing the emotional impact of scenes.

Exquisite optics -Superlative performance

Arles Primes achieve outstanding image quality through rigorous optical design, ensuring consistently high resolution while meeting the requirements of high-end cinema.

Aspherical elements

The 14mm, 21mm and 25mm lenses each feature two aspherical elements (including a large diameter 50mm aspherical element), improving image quality in low light. With precision micron-level manufacturing, these lenses maintain a lightweight and compact shape while effectively correcting spherical aberration and coma, reducing onion ring bokeh, and minimizing wide-angle distortion and astigmatism.

Chromatic aberration

The entire series uses low dispersion optical materials to precisely suppress chromatic aberration, resulting in exceptional optical performance.

Versatile lens lineup for limitless creativity - Focal lengths

With a comprehensive set of ten lenses covering ultra-wide, standard and telephoto focal lengths, the Arles series caters to a wide range of shooting scenarios while maintaining consistent visual aesthetics.

The following focal lengths will be available
14mm ,21mm ,25mm ,35mm ,40mm ,50mm ,75mm ,100mm ,135mm and 180mm.

Sensor format

Compatible with larger format sensors, it offers coverage for medium format cameras such as the 43.8×32.9mm format with focal lengths from 25mm to 50mm, as well as large format cameras such as the ALEXA 65 (54.12×25.59mm) with focal lengths from 75mm to 180mm, satisfying the diverse needs from independent filmmaking to large-scale film production.

Robust mechanical, smooth workflow

Thoroughly tested to ensure structural integrity, Arles guarantees smooth operation of the focus and aperture rings for precise focusing and accurate exposure with micron-level precision.

Interchangeable scale design

The dual interchangeable imperial/metric focus scale design facilitates quick changes and meets diverse needs.

Compact design for seamless integration

Designed to work seamlessly with industry-standard film accessories, it features a uniform 95mm front diameter and 86mm filter size across the range. With a standard 0.8 MOD gear pitch design and consistent placement of focus and aperture rings across the range, the lens and accessory changes require no readjustment which greatly improves setting efficiency. Except for 135mm and 180mm, all lenses retain the same body length, further simplifying equipment changes.

Weight

Their lightweight, compact design (weighing between 1.4 and 1.9 kg) allows for easy integration with gimbals, stabilizers, drones and Steadicams, opening up unlimited shooting possibilities, including handheld, vehicle-mounted, shoulder-mounted and aerial photos.
(Note: the 14mm lens is incompatible with threaded filters).

Interchangeable lens mounts

Equipped with interchangeable PL and EF mounts, Arles offers wide compatibility with various cinema cameras, giving filmmakers unparalleled versatility. Compatible with DZOFILM KOOP rear filters, with magnetic installation and lightweight flexibility, allowing for cleaner images and inspiring endless creative possibilities.
