DZOFILM Arles 35mm FF/VV Prime Cine Lens - PL Mount (FT): Shape cinematic scenes with fast 35mm coverage

The DZOFILM Arles 35mm FF/VV Prime Cine Lens - PL Mount (FT) pairs a 35mm focal length with a fast T1.4 maximum aperture for full-frame filmmaking. It’s a manual-focus standard prime for filmmakers and video crews working with PL-mount cameras, with an image circle suited to full-frame sensors. The 63° angle of view gives a balanced perspective for scenes where you want a subject and some of its surroundings in the frame. That makes this focal length a natural fit for dialogue, environmental portraits and establishing shots in a film or branded video. Its T1.4–T22 aperture range gives you a broad exposure range to work with, from scenes where you want a wide aperture to setups that call for a smaller one. As a cine lens, the Arles is made around hands-on focus and exposure control rather than autofocus operation. The 35mm view is useful when a wider setting feels too expansive but a tighter portrait focal length would leave too much of the scene out. On a full-frame camera, the lens covers the sensor format directly, so there’s no need to plan around a crop factor. For productions building a set of primes, its geared controls and shared lens dimensions also help maintain a consistent setup as focal lengths change. This is a purpose-built lens for controlled video work, from narrative scenes to interview and commercial production.

Where this lens shines

• 16-blade iris: The high blade count is intended to keep out-of-focus highlights rounded as you adjust exposure. That’s a useful detail in scenes with practical lights or bright points behind your subject.
• 14 elements in 12 groups: This optical construction brings together the lens’s glass elements in a multi-group design for its full-frame cine image. It’s a concrete part of what defines the Arles optical system.
• 270° focus rotation: The long focus-ring turn gives a focus puller room to make measured adjustments. It’s well suited to repeatable, deliberate focus changes in a scripted scene.
• 80° aperture rotation: The iris ring has a shorter turn than the focus ring, keeping aperture adjustments within a compact movement. That’s handy when exposure needs a quick change between takes.
• 0.8 MOD gears: Standard cine-style gearing on the focus and aperture controls supports use with compatible follow-focus and lens-control setups. The same gear pitch across these controls keeps the rigging approach consistent.
• 95mm outer diameter: The lens body’s stated diameter is useful to know when planning a matte-box setup. DZOFilm also uses matching outer diameters across the lens range, so changing focal lengths can mean fewer adjustments to the front of the rig.
• M86 filter thread: The front thread provides a direct fitting point for compatible screw-in filters. It gives crews another filter option alongside a matte-box arrangement.
• 121mm length: This measurement helps when checking how the lens will sit on a camera rig. It’s a useful dimension to account for when balancing a built-up setup.

On your camera

This lens has a PL mount and covers the full-frame sensor format; the supplier information also identifies it for full-frame ARRI PL-mount cameras. It uses manual focus, so focusing is handled at the lens rather than through autofocus. Check that your camera setup accepts a PL-mount lens and that your rig is arranged for manual focus operation.
