The DZOFILM Arles Prime series bursts into cinematography with a line of high-performance lenses, designed to deliver images with exceptional fidelity in light and color.

Optics for Maximum Cinematic Expression

With an aperture of T1.4-T1.9 and coverage for Vista Vision (making a strong comeback) and Full Frame sensors, the Arles Prime lenses offer a natural visual aesthetic, precise depth of field control, and exceptional image quality for professional cinema.

The series features 10 focal lengths (from 14mm to 180mm), compatible with cameras such as ARRI Alexa Mini LF, RED V-Raptor, Canon C400, and Sony VENICE 2. Their compact design and optimized weight (between 1.4kg and 1.9kg) make them ideal for gimbals, drones, Steadicams, and moving camera systems.

Superior Optical Quality and Precise Control

Low Light Performance and Cinematic Bokeh

Thanks to their maximum aperture of T1.4 (T1.9 on the 14mm), the Arles Prime lenses offer excellent performance in low light conditions, allowing for sharp and detailed images. Their 16-blade diaphragm generates a soft circular bokeh, with natural transitions between in-focus and out-of-focus areas, achieving a unique three-dimensional feel.

Visual Consistency and Minimal Focus Breathing

They maintain a constant color temperature of 5000K, ensuring faithful tone reproduction and preventing chromatic shifts between lenses. Additionally, their advanced optical design minimizes focus breathing, allowing for focus changes without perceptible alterations in the frame.


Flare and Unwanted Reflection Control

Thanks to their multi-layer nano coating and blue calibration, they effectively reduce unwanted flares and reflections, even in extreme backlight conditions. Their internal anti-reflective treatment prevents light dispersion, guaranteeing clean images with high contrast.


Robust Construction and Ergonomic Design

Designed for professional cinematography, the Arles Prime lenses offer an optimized mechanical design for an efficient workflow:

– Interchangeable PL / LPL / EF mount for maximum versatility.

– Uniform 95mm front diameter and 86mm filter thread, compatible with standard accessories without the need for adapters.

– Focus and iris gears with 0.8 MOD pitch, compatible with follow focus systems.

– Wide focus throw (270°) and aperture throw (90°), allowing for precise and smooth adjustments.

– Aluminum alloy construction and anti-dust treatment, ensuring resistance and durability in any shooting environment.

Optics with a Unique Style

Beyond their technical performance, the Arles Prime series stands out for its ability to offer a unique visual aesthetic, with immersive and cinematic images.
