DZOFILM Arles 100mm FF/VV Prime Cine Lens (PL mount,feet)

With the DZOFILM Arles Prime Cine Lens for PL Mount, filmmakers can achieve cinematic visual brilliance inspired by the vibrant town of Arles, France a muse for Vincent van Gogh. This lens series, renowned for its T 1.4 ultra-wide aperture, excels in capturing the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, making it ideal for low-light and complex shooting conditions. The fast aperture allows for a stunningly dreamy shallow depth of field, highlighting narrative details with precision and ensuring even brightness transitions for smooth, exquisite cinematic footage. Crafted with precision, the Arles Prime lens employs advanced multi-layer nano-coating technology, featuring a specially calibrated blue coating to minimize reflections and reduce stray light and ghosting.

This ensures stable and controllable flares, delivering clean and sharp images even when shooting directly against the light. The internal lens structure, enhanced by sandblasting and anodizing techniques, creates a micro-level anti-reflective coating with ultra-low reflectivity, maintaining consistent color temperatures around 5000K for vivid, true-to-life colors and a natural, neutral visual style. The Arles Prime lens is equipped with 16 aperture blades, producing 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.

Built-in floating lens elements minimize aberrations during focusing transitions, enhancing optical performance and minimizing breathing to immerse viewers in each frame. The Arles Primes are engineered for superlative performance, incorporating two aspherical elements in the 14mm, 21mm, and 25mm lenses to improve image quality in low-light conditions. With micron-level precision manufacturing, these lenses maintain a lightweight and compact form while correcting spherical aberration and coma, reducing onion-ring bokeh, and minimizing wide-angle distortion and astigmatism. Low-dispersion optical materials precisely suppress chromatic aberration, ensuring exceptional optical performance. This versatile lens set includes 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 and large format cameras like the ALEXA 65, satisfying diverse needs from independent filmmaking to large-scale film production. The Arles series guarantees robust mechanical performance and smooth workflow, with thorough testing ensuring structural integrity. The focus and aperture rings operate smoothly for precise focusing and accurate exposure, featuring a dual interchangeable imperial/metric focus scale design for quick switching. The compact design, with a uniform front diameter of 95mm and an 86mm filter size, integrates seamlessly with industry-standard cine accessories, enhancing on-set efficiency.

Except for the 135mm and 180mm lenses, all maintain the same body length, simplifying equipment changes. Designed for interchangeable mounts, the Arles lens offers wide compatibility with various cinema cameras, empowering filmmakers with unparalleled versatility. Compatible with DZOFILM KOOP rear filters, featuring magnetic installation, it allows for purer imagery and inspires endless creative possibilities.
Note: The 14mm lens is incompatible with threaded filters.
