13-Element Optical Design for 100mm Cinema Images
The Arles 100mm uses 13 optical elements arranged in 8 groups to deliver detailed telephoto images with the distinctive rendering of the Arles prime family. Its focal length produces a narrow field of view and pronounced subject separation, making it especially useful for dramatic portraits and close-ups. Carefully balanced contrast, natural-looking color, and smooth transitions into defocused backgrounds support expressive narrative and commercial cinematography.
Floating Optics and 270-Degree Manual Focus Control
The Arles series incorporates floating optical elements to help maintain image quality throughout the focusing range and reduce visible focus breathing. The 100mm prime focuses to 0.90m from the sensor plane, providing flexibility for tightly framed subjects and detail shots. Its 270° focus rotation gives focus pullers room to make controlled adjustments, particularly when shooting wide open at T1.4 with a shallow depth of field.
Multi-Layer Nano-Coating for Painterly Telephoto Rendering
Advanced multi-layer nano-coating and internal anti-reflective treatments help minimize stray light, ghosting, and unwanted reflections. The Arles optical design balances flare control with the atmospheric highlights and natural color associated with the series. For telephoto cinematography, these treatments help maintain image consistency when capturing backlit portraits, practical light sources, reflective surfaces, and carefully lit commercial scenes.
46.5mm Image Circle with Interchangeable ARRI PL Mount
The 46.5mm image circle supports full-frame and compatible VistaVision cinema sensor formats. This version includes an ARRI PL mount, while the interchangeable mount system supports selected alternative configurations using compatible conversion hardware. The 100mm focal length provides precise telephoto framing for professional camera systems. Always verify the active sensor dimensions, flange requirements, and camera clearance before changing recording formats or lens mounts.
270-Degree Focus Throw and Standard 0.8 MOD Gearing
The aluminum-alloy housing features a 270° manual focus rotation, 90° iris rotation, and industry-standard 0.8 MOD gearing for compatible follow-focus systems and lens motors. A 95mm front outside diameter and M86 filter thread accommodate suitable matte boxes and filters. Weighing approximately 1.83kg, the lens should be balanced and supported appropriately on compact camera rigs, stabilizers, and professional cinema setups.
Consistent Arles Cinema Character Across Focal Lengths
The 100mm extends the Arles prime family into fast telephoto cinematography while preserving the series' coordinated color, contrast, and bokeh characteristics. Common 0.8 MOD gear standards and 95mm front diameters help simplify accessory setup across compatible Arles primes. Its 121mm PL-mount body supports integration into multi-lens production packages, giving cinematographers a consistent visual language when moving between wide, standard, and telephoto compositions.
T1.4 Telephoto Cinema Aperture
The fast T1.4 maximum aperture provides exposure flexibility for available-light filmmaking and controlled studio lighting. Combined with the 100mm focal length, it enables shallow depth-of-field compositions with clearly defined subjects and softly rendered backgrounds.
16-Blade Painterly Cinema Bokeh
The 16-blade diaphragm creates rounded out-of-focus highlights and gradual transitions between sharp and defocused areas. The Arles optical character contributes an atmospheric look to cinematic portraits, close-ups, and selectively focused commercial imagery.
100mm Portrait Perspective
The 100mm focal length offers tight framing and strong apparent background compression when the camera is positioned farther from its subject. It is well suited to dramatic close-ups, fashion portraits, intimate dialogue coverage, and carefully isolated details.
95mm Front Diameter and M86 Filter Thread
The 95mm front outside diameter accommodates compatible cinema matte boxes, while the M86 filter thread supports suitable screw-in filters. These dimensions help integrate the lens into professional follow-focus and filtration setups.
Cinematic Portraits and Dramatic Close-Ups
The 100mm perspective separates characters from busy backgrounds and draws attention to facial expressions. Its T1.4 aperture and 16-blade iris support intimate close-ups, emotional dialogue scenes, and carefully controlled focus transitions in narrative productions.
Fashion and Lifestyle Telephoto Cinematography
Capture fashion portraits, beauty details, and lifestyle advertising with focused telephoto compositions. Natural color response, expressive bokeh, and professional manual-focus mechanics support consistent footage across commercial and branded-content productions.
Controlled Long-Lens Focus and Detail Shots
The 100mm prime supports tight framing of performers, distant subjects, and selected environmental details. Its 270° focus rotation and standard cinema gearing provide precise operation with compatible lens motors and a properly balanced camera rig.
