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.
Comprehensive Focal Range for Diverse Creation
With a comprehensive set of eleven 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 Fujifilm GFX 50S (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 undergoes thorough testing to ensure structural integrity. With micron-level precision, this wide-aperture prime lens guarantees smooth operation of the focus and aperture rings for precise focusing and accurate exposure.
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.
The lightweight, compact design (weighing between 1.4 and 1.9 kg) allows for easy integration with gimbals, stabilizers, drones, and Steadicams, such as DJI Ronin 2, Freefly Movi Pro, and ARRI Trinity. With the diverse compatibility, it opens limitless shooting possibilities, including handheld, vehicle-mounted, shoulder-mounted, and aerial shots.
Flexible and Inclusive for Unlimited Innovation
