Arles, France Inspired Imagery. The immaculate artistry and creativity in every direction of France can now serve as a visual influence from across oceans with the DZOFilm Arles Prime series! Designed for professional filmmakers and videographers looking for reliability with larger camera rigs and large-capacity gimbals, these lenses offer direct changes and upgrades to the reliable VESPID series. The main updates include VistaVision support, a faster T1.4 aperture for an immersive, IMAX-like depth of field, a larger 86mm filter thread, a larger 82º iris rotation ring, and a slightly heavier build. However, many specs have remained—such as the 16-blade iris that produces delicate, elegant highlights and shadow transitions, and a 46.5mm image circle that supports large-format cameras while maintaining minimal focus breathing!

Cine-Style Production. This lens’s cine-style aperture and focusing rings boast standard 0.8 MOD gears so that you can easily install a follow focus system, lens motor, or lens control system. Its 95mm front diameter lets you use 4 × 5.6 matte boxes, and its 86mm filter threads let you use filters directly on the lens without a matte box as needed.
