DZOFILM Arles 100mm FF/VV Prime Cine Lens - PL Mount (FT)
DZOFILM Arles 100mm FF/VV Prime Cine Lens - PL Mount (FT) - T1.4 maximum aperture
A bright T1.4 maximum aperture and full-frame coverage set this short-telephoto cine prime apart. The DZOFILM Arles 100mm FF/VV Prime Cine Lens - PL Mount (FT) is made for filmmakers who need deliberate, manual control and a close, considered frame. Its PL mount and Full Frame image circle make it a specialist option for compatible cinema-camera setups, rather than an all-purpose lens for casual shooting. The short-telephoto view is useful when you want to keep attention on a person or detail. For a seated interview, it gives you a tighter composition; for portrait-style footage, it keeps the frame focused on the subject; and for product films, it can isolate a small object from its surroundings. Those uses suit the lens’s 100mm focal length and 24° estimated angle of view, while its T1.4 maximum aperture offers extra exposure flexibility and the option of shallow depth of field. This is a cine lens with hands-on controls and a build intended to work within a matched prime set. Focus and iris gears follow the 0.8 MOD cine standard, and the lens shares a 95mm outer diameter with the described Arles family design, so a camera crew can plan a consistent rig across focal lengths. It’s a considered choice for narrative work, interviews and controlled commercial setups where precise framing and repeatable manual operation matter more than autofocus convenience.
Why this focal length works
- Short-telephoto perspective: The tighter view suits interview framing, portrait-style shots and close attention to a product. It’s a focal length for selecting what matters within the scene, not for capturing a broad establishing view.
- Full-frame coverage: The image circle is specified for Full Frame sensors. That makes the lens relevant to productions using cameras in that format, with no need to treat it as a smaller-format lens.
- Diagonal angle of view: The stated diagonal view is 25.96°. That gives the camera team a useful reference when planning a position and framing a subject in a set or interview space.
- 13 elements in 8 groups: This optical construction is part of the lens’s image-forming design. It’s a specific detail for crews comparing the Arles prime with other cinema glass.
- Long focus rotation: The focus ring turns through 270°. That broad travel supports measured manual pulls, giving a focus puller more room to make a controlled adjustment.
- Separate iris travel: The iris ring rotates through 90°. Its movement is distinct from the focus ring, so exposure adjustments have their own defined control range.
- Rig-friendly fittings: The 86mm filter thread accepts compatible screw-in filters, while the 95mm outer diameter and 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears suit a cine-style setup with matching accessories.
Specialist Note
First-time owners sometimes expect a short-telephoto cine prime to cover every setup, then discover that its tighter view needs a considered camera position. I’d treat this Arles as a lens for a defined frame: a seated interview, a portrait insert or a close product shot, rather than a wide view of the whole room. The T1.4 maximum aperture is useful when the scene is dim or you want a softer background; stopping down gives you more depth when the subject moves. Its 16-blade iris is the detail I’d pay attention to for out-of-focus highlights, which can take on a pleasingly rounded look. This lens makes most sense for a crew comfortable with manual focus and a PL setup. It’s also worth planning around that longer focal length: you need enough space to frame your subject comfortably.
On your camera
The lens has a PL mount, so it fits cameras equipped with a matching PL lens mount. Its Full Frame format coverage is specified for Full Frame sensors, and focus is manual rather than autofocus. That combination places it squarely in a cinema workflow where the operator or focus puller sets focus by hand. It’s intended for video and filmmaking, not as an autofocus option for still-photo use.
