DZOFILM Arles 14mm FF/VV Prime Cine Lens (PL Mount.feet)

DZOFILM Arles 14mm FF/VV Prime Cine Lens (PL Mount, feet) | Expansive views with controlled cine focus

A tight interior, a broad landscape or a sweeping establishing shot calls for a lens that can take in a lot of the scene. The DZOFILM Arles 14mm FF/VV Prime Cine Lens (PL Mount, feet) is an ultra-wide 14mm prime for full-frame filmmaking, with a 114° angle of view. Its particularly fast T1.9 maximum aperture is useful when light is limited and gives you control over depth of field; stop down as far as T22 when the scene calls for it. This is a manual-focus cine lens, so its operation is aimed at deliberate focus work rather than autofocus capture. The Arles range’s optical character is part of the appeal, too: wide open, the image has a softer, lower-contrast feel, with a slight swirl to the bokeh near the edges. That gives a frame a different character from a uniformly crisp, clinical rendering. The 14mm focal length earns its place on full-frame PL cinema cameras for wide interior coverage, large-scale exterior views and dynamic foreground-led shots. Its 16-blade iris keeps out-of-focus highlights rounded, while the focus ring’s 270° rotation offers fine control for measured pulls. DZOFilm also uses floating elements to reduce focus breathing and low-dispersion glass to minimise chromatic aberration. For filmmakers building a consistent cine-lens set, this Arles prime pairs a distinctive wide view with hands-on, geared-style manual operation and a fast T-stop.

What the glass does

• 114° angle of view: This broad perspective takes in a substantial area of the scene, useful for establishing shots and framing in confined interiors.
• T1.9–T22 aperture range: The wide maximum aperture is suited to low-light filming, while the range extends to T22 for tighter light control.
• 16-blade iris: The blade count contributes to soft, rounded out-of-focus highlights, adding a gentle quality to defocused areas.
• 270° focus rotation: The long focus-ring travel supports measured manual pulls, giving a focus puller room to make controlled adjustments.
• 77° iris rotation: The iris ring’s defined travel makes manual exposure adjustments part of the lens’s direct cine-style operation.
• Floating optical elements: This design reduces focus breathing, helping the frame hold its composition more consistently as focus shifts.
• Low-dispersion glass: The optical materials are used to minimise chromatic aberration, which can show as coloured fringing around high-contrast edges.
• Wide-open rendering: At maximum aperture, the Arles look is softer and lower in contrast, with a slight swirl in peripheral bokeh.

On your camera

This version has an ARRI PL mount and covers full-frame sensors, making it a match for full-frame cameras with a PL lens mount. It uses manual focus, not autofocus, so focus is set at the lens. The product title specifies feet markings, a useful detail when matching focus marks to a feet-based follow-focus workflow. It’s an interchangeable lens for video and filmmaking, rather than a fixed-lens camera optic.
