15-Element Optical Design for Expansive Cinematic Images
The Arles 14mm uses 15 optical elements arranged in 12 groups to balance detailed image reproduction with the distinctive visual character of the Arles prime family. Its ultra-wide field of view captures sweeping environments, architectural spaces, and dynamic foreground compositions. Carefully engineered optics help control unwanted aberrations while preserving natural color, delicate tonal transitions, and a cinematic sense of depth across expansive frames.
Floating Optics with 0.28m Minimum Focus
The Arles series incorporates floating optical elements to help maintain image quality as focus changes from infinity to nearby subjects. This design minimizes distracting changes in framing during focus transitions. With a minimum focusing distance of 0.28m measured from the sensor plane, the 14mm prime enables dramatic foreground placement while retaining an expansive view of the surrounding scene. Its 270° focus throw supports deliberate, repeatable manual focusing.
Multi-Layer Nano-Coating for Painterly Cinema Color
Advanced multi-layer nano-coating and internal anti-reflective treatments help suppress stray light, ghosting, and unwanted reflections. The Arles series uses carefully calibrated optical coatings to maintain natural-looking colors while preserving atmospheric highlights. This is particularly useful for ultra-wide compositions, where practical lights, bright windows, and other high-contrast elements may occupy a significant part of the frame.
46.5mm VistaVision Coverage with Interchangeable PL Mount
The 46.5mm image circle supports full-frame and compatible VistaVision digital cinema formats. This version ships with an ARRI PL mount, while the interchangeable mounting system allows selected alternative configurations using compatible conversion hardware. The 14mm perspective provides immersive wide-angle framing for large-format productions. Camera operators should verify mount compatibility, rear clearance, and active sensor dimensions before selecting a recording mode or changing mounts.
270-Degree Focus Throw and Industry-Standard Cine Gearing
A durable aluminum-alloy housing incorporates a 270° focus rotation and professional 0.8 MOD focus and iris gearing. These mechanical controls work with compatible follow-focus systems and cinema lens motors. The 95mm front outside diameter accommodates suitable matte boxes and external filter solutions. Because this ultra-wide 14mm prime has no front screw-in filter thread, filters must be mounted using compatible external or approved rear-filtration accessories.
Consistent Arles Character from Ultra-Wide to Telephoto
The 14mm extends the Arles prime family into expansive ultra-wide cinematography while retaining the series' signature color, contrast, and bokeh character. Consistent cine gear standards and a common 95mm front diameter help simplify lens changes during multi-focal-length productions. From immersive establishing shots to intimate telephoto close-ups, the Arles family is designed to maintain a recognizable cinematic visual language across different scenes.
T1.9 Ultra-Wide Cinema Aperture
The T1.9 maximum aperture offers exposure flexibility for available-light filmmaking, including practical-light interiors and nighttime locations. Its wide field of view allows filmmakers to retain environmental context while creating selective depth-of-field effects with nearby subjects.
16-Blade Painterly Cinema Bokeh
The 16-blade iris supports rounded out-of-focus highlights and smooth transitions between focused subjects and defocused backgrounds. The Arles optical character combines natural color, gentle highlight rendering, and an atmospheric cinematic look.
14mm Immersive Ultra-Wide Perspective
The expansive focal length emphasizes spatial relationships and environmental scale. It is useful for establishing shots, architecture, confined interior locations, landscapes, and moving-camera sequences that place the viewer inside the scene.
95mm Front Diameter, No Filter Thread
The 95mm front outside diameter supports compatible cinema matte boxes and filter systems. The 14mm lens has no front screw-in filter thread, so appropriate external or compatible rear-mounted filtration must be used instead.
Immersive Ultra-Wide Narrative Shots
The 14mm focal length captures expansive environments and emphasizes the relationship between characters and their surroundings. Its close-focus capability supports dramatic foreground compositions, while the wide perspective works well for establishing shots and expressive moving-camera sequences.
Architecture and Interior Cinematography
Capture architectural spaces, expansive interiors, and environmental commercial scenes with a broad field of view. Professional cinema mechanics and controlled optical rendering make the lens suitable for carefully choreographed camera movements and location-based branded content.
Dynamic Camera Movement and Available Light
The T1.9 aperture helps filmmakers work in available light, while the ultra-wide perspective captures more of the environment during handheld and stabilized camera movements. Its PL-mount construction is suited to compatible professional cinema rigs with adequate lens support.
