The DZOFilm Arles series is a professional line of full-frame cinema prime lenses designed to deliver a high-end "cinematic" look with modern reliability. The 5-lens kit (25/35/50/75/100mm) is the core set for cinematographers who need a consistent, fast, and matched set of glass.

Key Technical Features

• Ultra-Fast  Aperture: Every lens in this set shares a constant  maximum aperture, allowing for incredible low-light performance and extremely shallow depth of field.
• Full-Frame Coverage: These lenses cover large format and VV (Vista Vision) sensors, making them compatible with cameras like the Arri Alexa 35, Sony Venice 2, and RED V-Raptor.
• Consistent Mechanics: All five lenses feature unified gear positions for focus and iris, meaning you don’t have to adjust your follow-focus or lens motors when switching focal lengths.
• Optical Character: Designed to be clean and sharp but with a "gentle" roll-off and pleasing skin tones. They feature a 16-blade iris for perfectly circular bokeh even when stopped down.
• Front Diameter: Consistent 95mm front diameter across the set for easy use with standard matte boxes.

The "Arles" Aesthetic

The Arles primes are positioned between "clinical" modern lenses and "vintage" glass. They offer:

1. Minimized Focus Breathing: Ideal for narrative filmmaking where focus pulls shouldn't distract the viewer.
2. Controlled Flares: Specialized coatings manage ghosting while maintaining a natural, blue-toned flare characteristic.
3. Interchangeable Mounts: While they come in PL mount, the kit typically includes EF mount conversion kits, giving you flexibility across different camera systems.

Kit Packaging

The 5-lens set usually ships in a custom-fitted hard shell flight case with precision-cut foam, ensuring the lenses stay safe during transport and on set.
