DZOFilm Arles Lustre 50mm T1.6 FF/VV Cinema Prime Lens (ARRI PL)

The DZOFilm Arles Lustre 50mm T1.6 FF/VV Cinema Prime Lens (ARRI PL) is a full-frame cinema prime built around a 46.5mm image circle and a fast T1.6 maximum aperture. On a full-frame camera, the 50mm focal length gives a 50° diagonal, 45° horizontal, and 25° vertical angle of view, making it a natural choice for tighter coverage, interviews, portrait work, and general narrative shooting.

The lens carries the Lustre series' warm amber halo character and metallic, retro-style exterior, while the mechanics are arranged for conventional cine operation. Focus uses 0.8 MOD gearing with a 270° rotation, focus scales are marked in both metric and imperial units, and the front of the lens is standardized around a 95mm outside diameter with an M86 filter thread. A support foot is included for mounting the lens into a supported camera build.

Why It Helps

A 50mm prime sits in a very useful part of a full-frame lens set. It gives the operator a tighter perspective than the wider members of the series without moving into long-lens territory, so it works well for dialogue, interviews, portrait framing, and controlled close coverage.

The focus mechanics are set up for proper cine handling rather than still-photo operation. A 270° focus throw gives an assistant more physical travel for measured pulls, while the 0.8 MOD gear fits standard follow-focus hardware. The 50cm minimum focus distance also gives the camera some room to work closer when the shot calls for it.

The rest of the lens is equally predictable from a rigging standpoint. The 95mm front diameter and M86 thread provide known accessory dimensions, while the included support foot gives the lens a dedicated support point in a built-up camera package. The Lustre rendering stays visually distinct as well, with the warm amber halo effect giving the 50mm its own character instead of aiming for a completely neutral image.
