Built for professional filmmaking, this ARRI PL-mount prime features a 270° manual focus rotation, 0.8 MOD gearing, and durable aluminum-alloy construction. Long-lens precision with the signature Arles cinematic character.
The DZOFilm Arles 180mm T2.4 FF/VV Prime Cine Lens (DZO-SAP180IPL) is a manual-focus spherical cinema prime available from Coremicro, an authorized DZOFilm dealer based in Union City, California.

Its ARRI PL mount, 95mm front diameter, M86 filter thread, and 1.07m minimum focusing distance support professional cinema production. The lens measures 130mm in length with the PL mount and weighs approximately 1.675kg. Contact Coremicro for current pricing, availability, and manufacturer support.
High-Resolution 180mm Telephoto Optical Design
The Arles 180mm uses 12 optical elements arranged in 9 groups to create detailed telephoto imagery with the distinctive rendering of the Arles family. Its long focal length compresses the apparent distance between subjects and backgrounds, allowing cinematographers to isolate performers within layered environments. The optical design balances fine detail, natural color response, and expressive tonal transitions for portraits, dramatic close-ups, and distant subject coverage.
Floating Optics and Precise Long-Lens Focus Pulls
The Arles series incorporates floating optical elements to help maintain image performance through focus transitions while reducing visible focus breathing. On the 180mm, a 270° manual focus rotation gives focus pullers room for precise adjustments in demanding telephoto compositions. The lens focuses to 1.07m from the sensor plane, providing additional framing flexibility for tightly composed portraits, product details, and controlled narrative close-ups.
Multi-Layer Nano-Coating for Painterly Telephoto Images
The Arles optical system uses multi-layer nano-coating and internal anti-reflective treatments to help control ghosting, stray light, and unwanted reflections. Carefully tuned coatings preserve natural-looking color while allowing highlights to retain the atmospheric character associated with the series. For telephoto cinematography, this helps maintain visual consistency when capturing backlit performers, practical lights, reflective surfaces, and scenes with strong contrast.
46.5mm Image Circle with Interchangeable PL Mount
The 46.5mm image circle is designed for full-frame and compatible VistaVision sensor formats. This 180mm version is supplied with an ARRI PL mount, while the interchangeable lens-mount design accommodates selected alternative configurations using compatible hardware. The telephoto perspective offers precise framing for distant subjects on professional cinema camera systems. Confirm sensor coverage, flange requirements, and rear clearance before changing camera or mount configurations.
270-Degree Focus Throw and 0.8 MOD Gearing
The 180mm features an aluminum-alloy housing, a 270° manual focus rotation, and industry-standard 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears. Its geared controls support compatible follow-focus systems and cinema lens motors for repeatable on-set operation. The 95mm front diameter and M86 filter thread accommodate suitable matte boxes and threaded filters. At approximately 1.675kg, the lens should be balanced and supported appropriately for the chosen camera rig.
Consistent Arles Character from Wide to Telephoto
The 180mm extends the Arles prime family into longer telephoto framing while preserving the series' recognizable color, contrast, and bokeh characteristics. Shared cine gear standards and a common 95mm front diameter simplify integration into multi-lens camera packages. The 180mm uses a longer 130mm PL-mount body than many shorter Arles focal lengths, so lens support and accessory positioning should be checked during lens changes.
T2.4 Telephoto Cinema Aperture
The T2.4 maximum aperture offers depth-of-field control for dramatic close-ups and portraits. Combined with the 180mm focal length, it helps separate subjects from distant backgrounds while maintaining controlled cinema exposure.
16-Blade Painterly Telephoto Bokeh
A 16-blade iris supports rounded out-of-focus highlights and gentle transitions between sharp subjects and defocused backgrounds. The Arles rendering character adds softness and atmosphere without sacrificing deliberate subject framing.
180mm Perspective Compression
The long focal length delivers tightly framed subjects and an apparent compression of distant background layers. It is especially useful for cinematic portraits, emotional close-ups, stage coverage, and distant exterior details.
95mm Front Diameter and M86 Thread
A 95mm front outside diameter and M86 filter thread support compatible matte boxes and front-mounted filtration. The standardized cinema front size helps maintain accessory consistency across Arles lens packages.
Cinematic Close-Ups and Emotional Portraits
The 180mm perspective isolates characters from busy backgrounds and emphasizes subtle expressions. Its long focal length and rounded bokeh make it a practical option for intimate dramatic moments, selective detail shots, and carefully staged dialogue coverage.
Telephoto Product and Lifestyle Cinematography
Create tightly composed lifestyle portraits, fashion imagery, and distant product details with strong visual separation. Its controlled manual focus mechanics support repeatable framing and focus movements in professional commercial environments.
Distant Subjects and Controlled Long-Lens Shots
The 180mm focal length provides tight coverage when the camera must remain farther from the subject. It suits exterior detail shots, stage performances, and controlled studio setups where stable lens support and precise follow-focus operation are available.
