Arles Prime 14mm PL

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.

Unparalleled Spatial Visual Impact
This High Speed Prime Cine Lens - Arles Series - covers Vista Vision sensors with a 46.5mm image circle, providing greater light transmission for enhanced depth and dimension in your visuals. This results in broader, more immersive images with rich detail. T1.4 aperture and unique field curvature design offer exceptional focus control, creating a three-dimensional visual experience with smooth transitions between in-focus and out-of-focus areas.

High-Speed Prime for Ultimate Visual Quality
With its T1.4 ultra-wide aperture, the Arles Prime provides ample light intake, excelling in low-light and complex shooting conditions, since it captures images quickly in low-light conditions, reducing exposure time and increasing shutter speed. This high-speed lens for shooting creates stunningly dreamy shallow depth of field, precisely highlighting every narrative detail, especially under low light.

At wide-open aperture, the lens ensures even brightness transitions and clear rendering of intricate light and shadow details. This fast glass supports high frame rate shooting without compromising image quality, producing smooth and exquisite cinematic footage cinematographers demand.

Crafted Precision for Immaculate Clarity
Using advanced multi-layer nano-coating technology, the Arles series features a specially calibrated blue coating that ensures precise flare control with minimal stray light and ghosting, plus exceptional color accuracy across the spectrum.

For cinematographers, this means total control over your flares when shooting into light sources, while maintaining rich, true-to-life color rendering that holds up even in challenging lighting conditions. The specially calibrated blue coating ensures natural color reproduction, delivering a modern yet distinct look that enhances the immersive quality of the imagery.

This entire T1.4 cine lens series incorporates a protective coating on the front lens element to resist dust and dirt accumulation, ensuring high light transmission and consistent optical clarity.

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), effectively controlling distortion and maintaining edge-to-edge sharpness even when shooting wide open at T1.4. 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.

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.
