Cinematic, Painterly Look
Designed for full-frame ARRI PL-mount cameras, the DZOFilm Arles 21mm T1.4 FF/VV Prime Cine Lens delivers sharp, natural-looking imagery with a signature painterly character. Its wide 21mm focal length combined with an ultra-fast T1.4 to T22 aperture range makes it ideal for low-light environments and creating stunningly shallow depth of field. The lens features a 16-blade iris and a sophisticated optical design composed of multiple grouped elements, producing soft, organic bokeh with excellent image clarity. Filmmakers can expect smooth manual control, thanks to the 270° focus rotation and 77° iris ring travel.
Large-Format Sensor Coverage
With a 50mm image circle, the Arles 21mm covers large-format sensors, making it fully compatible with modern cinema cameras that require wide, high-resolution image capture.
Painterly Rendering and Visual Depth
When shot wide open, the lens produces a softer, low-contrast aesthetic with slightly swirling peripheral bokeh—an artistic look often sought after for narrative and dramatic cinematography.
Precision Optics and Minimal Breathing
Engineered for professional results, the lens incorporates floating elements to reduce focus breathing, as well as aspherical and low-dispersion glass elements to enhance low-light performance and suppress chromatic aberration.
Modular Mount and Rig-Friendly Design
The ARRI PL mount is user-interchangeable with an optional Canon EF mount for broader camera compatibility. Consistency across the Arles series includes a 95mm front diameter, an M86 filter thread, and standard 0.8 MOD cine-style focus and iris gears. Matching gear positions and outer dimensions across the series simplify lens swaps, making it easy to integrate into cine-style rigs with follow focus systems and matte boxes.
