DZOFilm Arles 135mm T1.8 FF/VV Prime Cine Lens PL Mount (metric)

DZOFilm Arles 135mm T1.8 FF/VV Prime Cine Lens (PL, metric) brings long-lens precision to full-frame and VistaVision cameras. A 46.5 mm image circle fully covers large sensors on ARRI, RED and VENICE systems while the fast T1.8–T22 range and a 16-blade iris yield round bokeh and clean specular highlights. Factory-matched spectral response around ≈5000 K keeps color consistent across Arles primes for multicamera work supporting skin-tone reproduction and straightforward grading.

An optical layout of 12 elements in 8 groups with a floating focus unit holds contrast from infinity to close-ups and keeps longitudinal aberrations under control. Multi-layer nano-coatings with tuned blue anti-flare treatment suppress veiling glare and ghosting for controllable, repeatable flares. The lens shows low focus breathing, enabling precise racks without frame-size drift. Cinema-standard 0.8 MOD gears are paired with a 270° focus rotation and 88° iris throw so assistants can make micro-adjustments with fast follow-focus, FIZ and remote heads.

Minimum object distance is 0.98 m (≈3.22 ft) from sensor plane, delivering telephoto compression and separation ideal for beauty, interviews, drama close-ups, tabletop details and stage coverage. The PL mount and metric focus scale integrate smoothly into broadcast and cinema workflows, while FF/VV coverage avoids vignetting on large-format bodies, speed-boosted S35 adapters or specialty rigs. Markings are clear and repeatable for assistant-friendly operation on tripods, dollies and remote heads.

The DZOFilm Arles 135mm T1.8 balances speed, contrast, flare character and mechanics for predictable imaging across productions. When a tele prime must hold skin-tone fidelity, minimize breathing and track precisely through a long pull, this FF/VV cine prime delivers reliable, scene-to-scene consistency in professional environments.
