It’s a manual-focus cine lens for video and filmmaking, with an approximately 18° angle of view that keeps attention on a face, a small detail or action farther from the camera. For interviews, that narrower view helps keep distracting surroundings out of the frame. For close shots of objects or performers, the 135mm perspective supports a composed, selective look. Its T1.8 maximum aperture is useful for scenes lit with available light, and it gives you scope to separate a subject from the background with shallow depth of field. That’s particularly appealing for dramatic close-ups or a quiet, intimate interview image. The 16-blade iris is another distinctive part of the look: out-of-focus highlights take on a rounded, smooth character rather than a visibly angular shape. This is a prime lens with a specific role, not an all-purpose focal length for every setup. Put it to work when you want a tight frame, a controlled background and cine-style manual operation; its 135mm view rewards considered camera placement and is especially suited to planned shots rather than rapidly changing wide coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section=\"features\"\u003eOptics and handling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eT1.8 maximum aperture:\u003c\/strong\u003e The fast maximum aperture suits low-light scenes and makes shallow depth of field available for close-ups and interviews.

That combination is useful when you want a soft background and don’t want the room to dominate the shot. I also like the 270° focus rotation for a deliberate rack focus: there’s a generous turn for guiding attention from a foreground object to a face. The floating elements are a welcome detail here, since they minimise the change in framing as you pull focus. I’d recommend the Arles 135mm to a filmmaker building controlled portraits, close-up inserts or carefully composed narrative shots. One point to plan around is its narrow, long-lens role: it’s not the prime I’d reach for to cover a whole room. Pair it with a wider focal length when a scene needs both close detail and broad coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section=\"extra\"\u003eOn your camera\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version uses a PL mount and is specified for full-frame coverage, so it belongs on a camera with a compatible PL mount and a full-frame sensor. Focus is manual, with the lens’s focus adjustments made at the ring rather than through autofocus. That suits film and video setups where a focus puller or operator controls focus as part of the shot. The title specifies feet, useful when working from focus marks in imperial units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDZOFILM Arles 135mm FF\/VV Prime Cine Lens (PL Mount, feet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront lens cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShim set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: DZOFILM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Arles 135mm FF\/VV Prime Cine Lens (PL Mount, feet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Short Telephoto Prime\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal length: 135mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: PL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensor format: Full Frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus: Manual Focus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum aperture: T1.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngle of view: Approximately 18°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter thread: 86mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptical construction: 14 elements in 12 groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIris blades: 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DZOFILM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478616645972,"sku":"DZO-SAP135IPL","price":2478.96,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/DZO-SAP135IPL_01.jpg?v=1791469670","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/ar\/products\/dzofilm-arles-135mm-ff-vv-prime-cine-lens-pl-mount-feet","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
