DZOFilm Arles 100mm T1.4 FF/VV Prime Cine Lens PL Mount (metric) is a high-speed full-frame telephoto prime for VistaVision coverage with a 46.5 mm image circle. Its T1.4 aperture and 16-blade iris shape highlight faces with gentle compression and controlled falloff, producing smooth transitions and round bokeh while keeping micro-contrast intact. A 270° focus rotation using a metric scale supports precise pulls for drama, documentary and commercial sets, and minimal breathing preserves composition during racks.
The optical block combines 13 elements in 8 groups with floating elements to limit spherical aberration and field curvature from infinity to close focus. Multi-layer nano coatings and an internal low-reflectivity finish suppress flare and ghosting, keeping highlights stable even against backlight. Color rendering remains neutral around 5000 K across the Arles range, aiding multi-camera matching under LED, HMI or daylight. The iris offers 90° travel for fine exposure steps.
Mechanically, the Arles 100 mm uses a robust PL interface with standard 0.8 MOD gears placed consistently across the family, enabling rapid swaps with follow focus and lens motors. Close focus is 0.9 m, making tight portraits, interview singles and product hero shots practical on set without diopters. Coverage includes large sensors used by cinema cameras in FF/VV modes, enabling shallow depth at distance for gimbal walk-and-talks, stage work or live multicam capture.
Typical use cases include narrative close-ups where the subject must separate from busy backgrounds, live studio builds needing stable color and negligible breathing, and branded content demanding high transmission for clean images at lower ISO. This DZOFilm Arles 100mm T1.4 PL (metric) delivers consistent mechanics and optical character for professional production pipelines.

The Arles Prime lens series draws its name from the picturesque town of Arles in southern France, a cherished source of inspiration for the artist Vincent van Gogh. Renowned for its abundant sunlight and vibrant colors throughout the seasons, Arles catalyzed van Gogh's departure from conventional artistic styles.
DZOFILM's Arles Prime series, with its T1.4 fast apertures, captures the dynamic interplay of light and shadow, igniting fresh possibilities for artistic expression and cinematic creativity.
High-Speed Prime for Ultimate Visual Quality
With a T1.4 ultra-wide aperture, the Arles Prime delivers abundant light intake, excelling in low-light and complex shooting conditions. It creates stunningly dreamy shallow depth of field, precisely highlighting every narrative detail.
At wide-open aperture, the lens ensures even brightness transitions and clear rendering of intricate light and shadow details. It supports high frame rate shooting without compromising image quality, producing smooth and exquisite cinematic footage.
Crafted Precision for Immaculate Clarity
Using advanced multi-layer nano-coating technology, the Arles series features a specially calibrated blue coating to minimize reflections and effectively reduce stray light and ghosting. This ensures stable and controllable flares.
The internal lens structure utilizes sandblasting and anodizing techniques to create a micro-level anti-reflective coating with ultra-low reflectivity, reducing diffuse reflections. Even when shooting directly against the light, the lenses deliver clean and sharp images.
Across the entire focal range, color temperatures remain consistent around 5000K, faithfully reproducing vivid, true-to-life colors and presenting a natural, neutral visual style.
Cinematic Depth with Painterly Rendering
The Arles Prime boasts 16 aperture blades, delivering delightful circular bokeh and ensuring smooth transitions between in-focus and out-of-focus areas. At maximum aperture, it presents a soft low-contrast look, while slight swirling bokeh on the periphery adds a distinctive characteristic to the image, enhancing the emotional depth of each frame.
The built-in floating lens elements substantially minimize aberrations during focusing transitions from infinity to close-up, improving optical performance. Its minimal breathing immerses viewers in each frame, amplifying the emotional impact of the scenes.
Exquisite Optics Superlative Performance
The Arles Primes achieve remarkable image quality through rigorous optical design, ensuring consistent high resolution while meeting the demands of high-end cinematography.
The 14mm, 21mm, and 25mm lenses each incorporate two aspherical elements (including one 50mm large-diameter aspherical element), which improves 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.
The entire series uses low-dispersion optical materials to precisely suppress chromatic aberration, resulting in exceptional optical performance.
Versatile Lens Set for Boundless Creativity
With a comprehensive set of ten lenses covering ultra-wide, standard, and telephoto focal lengths, the Arles series caters 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 × 32.9mm format with focal lengths ranging from 25mm to 50mm, as well as large format cameras like the ALEXA 65 (54.12 × 25.59 mm) with focal lengths from 75mm to 180mm, satisfying the diverse needs from independent filmmaking to large-scale film production.
Robust Mechanical, Smooth Workflow
The Arles has undergone thorough testing to ensure structural integrity, and it guarantees smooth operation of the focus and aperture rings for precise focusing and accurate exposure with micron-level precision.
Compact Design for Seamless Integration
Designed to work seamlessly with industry-standard cine accessories, it includes a uniform front diameter of 95mm and an 86mm filter size over the whole range.With a standard 0.8 MOD gear pitch design and consistent positioning of focus and aperture rings across the series, lens and accessory swaps require no readjustment, greatly enhancing on-set efficiency. Except for the 135mm and 180mm, all lenses maintain the same body length, further simplifying equipment changes.
Their lightweight, compact design (weighing between 1.4 and 1.9 kg) allows for easy integration with gimbals, stabilizers, drones, and Steadicams, opening limitless shooting possibilities, including handheld, vehicle-mounted, shoulder-mounted, and aerial shots.
(Note: The 14mm lens is incompatible with threaded filters.)
Flexible and Inclusive for Unlimited Innovation
Equipped with interchangeable PL and EF mounts, the Arles offers wide compatibility with various cinema cameras, empowering filmmakers with unparalleled versatility. Compatible with DZOFILM KOOP rear filters, featuring magnetic installation and lightweight flexibility, allowing for purer imagery and inspiring endless creative possibilities.
