DZOFilm Arles 100mm FF/VV Prime Cine Lens (PL mount, meter)

The DZOFILM Arles 100mm T1.4 FF/VV Prime Cine Lens (PL Mount, Meter) is a professional-grade cine lens engineered to provide filmmakers with superior optical performance and creative versatility. Designed for full-frame and VistaVision sensors with a 50mm image circle, this lens is compatible with high-end cameras like the ARRI Alexa 65, RED Monstro, Canon C400, and Sony Venice 2, making it a versatile choice for cinematic productions, from independent films to large-scale projects. Its 100mm focal length offers a 25.96° diagonal field of view, providing a telephoto perspective perfect for intimate portraits, detailed close-ups, and narrative-driven cinematography.

Inspired by the sunlit town of Arles, France, where Vincent van Gogh created his iconic works, the Arles series captures a vibrant interplay of light and shadow, sparking new possibilities for cinematic expression. The fast T1.4 aperture ensures superior low-light performance, allowing filmmakers to shoot in challenging conditions while achieving a stunning shallow depth of field that isolates subjects with precision. A 16-blade iris produces soft, circular bokeh, enhancing the emotional depth of out-of-focus areas. Advanced multi-layer nano-coating with a calibrated blue coating minimizes reflections, reduces stray light, and controls ghosting, delivering high-contrast, vivid imagery with natural color rendering and a color temperature around 5000K. The lens is notably flare-resistant, retaining contrast even with direct light sources, with more pronounced flares at T5.6 for creative effect, as noted in recent reviews.

The optical construction of 13 elements in 8 groups ensures exceptional sharpness, with the 100mm being the sharpest in the Arles series, performing well even at T1.4. It exhibits minimal chromatic aberration, though slight purple fringing may appear in high-contrast conditions when wide open. The micron-level precision manufacturing results in a 1.83kg design, suitable for gimbals, drones, stabilizers, and handheld shooting, such as with DJI Ronin 2 or ARRI Trinity. The 270° focus rotation and 90° iris rotation provide precise manual control, while the 0.8 MOD gear pitch ensures seamless integration with follow-focus systems. Minimal focus breathing keeps transitions smooth, immersing viewers in the narrative.

Featuring a 95mm front diameter and an M86 filter thread, the lens is compatible with standard matte boxes and filters, enhancing creative flexibility. Its robust aluminum and steel construction is dust- and weather-resistant, ensuring durability in diverse environments. The dual imperial/metric focus scale allows quick adaptation to various production needs. Packaged in a protective molded case, the Arles 100mm offers portability and reliability, delivering cinematic excellence with consistent visual aesthetics for professional filmmaking.
