At the intersection of heritage optics and contemporary large-format cinematography sits the DZOFilm Arles Lustre 100mm T1.6 FF/VV Prime Cine Lens PL Mount — a telephoto prime that bathes every frame in a warm, amber-tinged glow reminiscent of early cinema. Born from a collaboration with more than twenty cinematographers specializing in art films, period dramas, and fashion campaigns, this 100mm focal length captures subjects with a compression and intimacy that suits close-up portraiture, emotional dialogue scenes, and detail-driven product shots. Its Vista Vision and Full Frame image circle of 46.5 mm pairs naturally with sensors like the ARRI ALEXA 65, RED V-RAPTOR, and Sony VENICE 2.
Thirteen elements in eight groups form an optical formula tuned through over fifty iterations to achieve the distinctive "Lustre Look." A proprietary Amber Halation coating introduces subtle golden flares around highlights, while a sixteen-blade iris generates exceptionally round, layered bokeh from T1.6 through T22. Edge-to-edge resolution satisfies 12K sensor demands, yet contrast remains deliberately softer than the standard Arles series — revealing shadow detail and tonal nuance that lends footage a painterly quality. Warm amber flaring blends with cooler bluish-purple tones to soften skin textures while balancing nostalgic warmth with modern tonal character.
A 270-degree focus throw gives focus pullers precise control for rack-focus work on narrative sets, and the 0.8 MOD gear pitch integrates seamlessly with wireless follow-focus motors. Close focus sits at 0.9 metres from the sensor plane — tight enough for detailed insert shots without swapping to a macro. Controlled focus breathing keeps the frame stable during transitions, and compatibility with DZOFILM KOOP rear magnetic filters plus standard M86 front filters broadens on-set creative options. Whether shooting a feature film's pivotal close-up under available light, capturing slow-motion fashion footage at high frame rates, or framing documentary interviews, the DZOFilm Arles Lustre 100mm T1.6 delivers a distinctive visual signature with its PL mount, optional EF and LPL kits, unified 95 mm front diameter, and consistent gear-ring placement across all ten focal lengths in the series.

The Arles Lustre is a characteristic high-speed prime lens series and a brand new exploration of cinematic artistry by DZOFILM. "Lustre," meaning "soft glow," draws inspiration from the iconic golden halation in cinema history.
To craft this large-format lens collection designed for stylistic expression, we collaborated with over 20 cinematographers and photographers specializing in art films, period dramas, and fashion advertising. Based on the sophisticated delicate design of Arles prime, after more than 50 rounds of precise adjustments and refinements, from optical engineering to aesthetic design, we achieved the distinctive "Lustre Look".
Vista Vision Format for Expansive Imagery
The Lustre series spans focal lengths from 14mm to 180mm and is fully compatible with Vista Vision sensors, effortlessly achieving IMAX-level depth of field and expansive perspectives.
