Cinematic & painterly image character

The Arles series is carefully developed to create a more artistic image with soft contrast and subtly swirling bokeh at the edges, especially when the aperture is wide open. This effect gives the images a dreamlike quality that can truly elevate your film production.

• Smooth transitions and natural contrast
• Elegant, cinematic bokeh
• Controlled anamorphic flares

Bright T1.4 for maximum creative control

With an impressive T1.4 aperture, the lens offers excellent performance even in low light. This allows for extremely shallow depth of field, providing dramatic image separation and making your subject truly stand out against a softly blurred background.

Full-frame & VistaVision coverage

DZOFILM Arles 18mm covers an image circle of 46.5 mm, ensuring that the lens is compatible with both full-frame and larger sensors. This feature results in a richer image with increased depth perception and light transmission, making every shot vibrant and realistic.

• 15 elements in 13 groups
• Aspherical and low-dispersion elements
