DZOFILM Arles 135mm T1.4 FF/VV Prime Cine Lens for ARRI PL Mount

Find cinematic visual brilliance with the DZOFILM Arles Prime Cine Lens for PL Mount, Black. Inspired by the vibrant town of Arles in southern France, a muse for Vincent van Gogh, this lens series captures the essence of dynamic light and color. With its ultra-fast T 1.4 aperture, the Arles Prime lens excels in low-light and challenging shooting conditions, delivering a dreamy shallow depth of field that highlights every narrative detail with precision. The Arles Prime lens is engineered for ultimate visual quality, ensuring even brightness transitions and clear rendering of intricate light and shadow details.

It supports high frame rate shooting without sacrificing image quality, producing smooth and exquisite cinematic footage. The advanced multi-layer nano-coating technology, including a specially calibrated blue coating, minimizes reflections and reduces stray light and ghosting, ensuring stable and controllable flares. The internal lens structure, crafted with sandblasting and anodizing techniques, features a micro-level anti-reflective coating with ultra-low reflectivity, delivering clean and sharp images even when shooting directly against the light. Consistent color temperatures around 5000K faithfully reproduce vivid, true-to-life colors, presenting a natural, neutral visual style across the entire focal range.

The Arles Prime lens boasts 16 aperture blades, creating delightful circular bokeh and smooth transitions between in-focus and out-of-focus areas. At maximum aperture, it offers a soft low-contrast look, with slight swirling bokeh on the periphery adding a distinctive characteristic to the image, enhancing the emotional depth of each frame. Built-in floating lens elements minimize aberrations during focusing transitions from infinity to close-up, improving optical performance. Minimal breathing immerses viewers in each frame, amplifying the emotional impact of the scenes. Achieve superlative performance with the Arles Primes, which incorporate rigorous optical design to ensure consistent high resolution for high-end cinematography.

The 14mm, 21mm, and 25mm lenses feature two aspherical elements, including a 50mm large-diameter aspherical element, enhancing image quality in low-light conditions. With micron-level precision manufacturing, these lenses maintain a lightweight and compact form while effectively correcting spherical aberration and coma, reducing onion-ring bokeh, and minimizing wide-angle distortion and astigmatism. Low-dispersion optical materials precisely suppress chromatic aberration, resulting in exceptional optical performance. The versatile Arles series includes a comprehensive set of ten lenses covering ultra-wide, standard, and telephoto focal lengths, catering to a wide range of shooting scenarios while maintaining consistent visual aesthetics.

Compatible with larger format sensors, it offers coverage for medium format cameras such as the 43.8 x 32.9 mm format with focal lengths ranging from 25mm to 50mm, as well as large format cameras like the ALEXA 65 ( 54.12 x 25.59 mm) with focal lengths from 75mm to 180mm, satisfying diverse needs from independent filmmaking to large-scale film production. Designed for robust mechanical performance and a smooth workflow, the Arles lens has undergone thorough testing to ensure structural integrity, guaranteeing smooth operation of the focus and aperture rings for precise focusing and accurate exposure with micron-level precision.

The dual interchangeable imperial/metric focus scale design facilitates quick switching, meeting diverse needs. Compact and designed for seamless integration with industry-standard cine accessories, the Arles lens features a uniform front diameter of 95mm and an 86mm filter size across the range. With a standard 0.8 MOD gear pitch design and consistent positioning of focus and aperture rings, lens and accessory swaps require no readjustment, greatly enhancing on-set efficiency
