Its approximately 92° angle of view takes in a generous sweep of a scene, while the bright aperture gives filmmakers more exposure flexibility when available light is limited. This is a manual cine lens for crews who want deliberate focus and iris control, rather than autofocus operation. At T1.4, the Arles can also separate a subject from a busy background with shallow depth of field; its 16-blade iris is intended to keep out-of-focus highlights smooth and rounded. The Arles series is distinguished by a soft, lower-contrast rendering when shot wide open, with swirling bokeh toward the edges of the frame. That character brings a considered look to dramatic scenes and portrait-style shots, while the wide focal length is useful for location context, moving-camera sequences and confined rooms. Optical elements with low dispersion and aspherical elements address chromatic aberration, and floating elements are used to reduce focus breathing during pulls. With a 270° focus-ring rotation and a 77° iris-ring rotation, there’s room for measured adjustments on a take. It’s a specialist tool for narrative filmmaking, commercial production and other video work where the lens’s field of view and rendering are part of the visual plan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section=\"features\"\u003eWhat the glass does\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBright T1.4 maximum aperture:\u003c\/strong\u003e The wide opening is useful when a scene has little available light, and it allows a shallow depth of field for selective focus.

I’d point this lens toward a cinematographer who wants to shape focus by hand and use a wide view as part of the scene’s composition. For a room-wide establishing shot, the 21mm focal length and 92° view take in plenty of context; for a closer subject-led shot, opening to T1.4 gives you a shallow-focus option and supports work in dimmer available light. The 16-blade iris is a lovely detail for scenes with small lights behind the subject, where the out-of-focus highlights become part of the image. One thing to plan for: this is manual focus, so a focus pull needs an operator or a considered focus setup. I’d use it for controlled narrative work, not a run-and-gun setup that depends on autofocus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOn your camera\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PL mount is for cameras equipped with a matching PL mount. The lens is specified for Full Frame coverage, so it’s intended for sensors in that format. Focus is manual: there’s no autofocus operation to rely on, and focus is set using the lens’s focus ring. Those details make it a natural fit for a cinema workflow built around PL-mount cameras and hands-on focus control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDZOFILM Arles 21mm 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\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: DZOFILM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Arles 21mm FF\/VV Prime Cine Lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Wide-angle prime cine lens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocal length: 21mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum aperture: T1.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMount: PL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensor format: Full Frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus: Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAngle of view: Approximately 92°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIris blades: 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocus-ring rotation: 270°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIris-ring rotation: 77°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DZOFILM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57478617268564,"sku":"DZO-SAP21IPL","price":2478.96,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/DZO-SAP21IPL_01.jpg?v=1791469671","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/fr\/products\/dzofilm-arles-21mm-ff-vv-prime-cine-lens-pl-mount-feet","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
