The DZOFilm Arles is a full-frame/VV prime cine lens series spanning 18mm to 85mm, built around a signature soft, painterly image character rather than clinical modern sharpness. It’s aimed at cinematographers building a distinct visual language for narrative or commercial work who want that vintage-inspired rendering baked into the glass. A constant T2.8 aperture across the set and interchangeable mount options make it practical to standardize an entire production around.
Constant T2.8 aperture across the set: Delivers consistent exposure and shallow depth of field at every focal length from 18mm to 85mm.
Painterly optical character: Soft glowing highlights, gentle shadow transitions, and rounded bokeh give footage a vintage, hand-painted texture.
All-metal barrel with PL/interchangeable mount: Industry-standard gear pitch and focus throw work with standard follow-focus and matte box rigs.
Controlled focus breathing: Minimizes angle-of-view shift during pulls for stable, predictable framing on dynamic shots.
Full 18mm–85mm focal range: Matched color, contrast, and bokeh across every lens in the set for a cohesive look scene to scene.
