Description
Product Overview
The DZOFilm Arles 50mm T1.4 is a full-frame and VistaVision cine prime for narrative filmmaking, commercials, and music videos. Its fast aperture gives cinematographers room to work with available light and selective focus. Manual cine controls and an ARRI PL mount fit a production workflow built around deliberate framing and repeatable focus pulls.
The Arles 50mm is a manual-focus cinema lens with a T1.4–T22 aperture range, a 46.5mm image circle, and a 16-blade iris. This ARRI PL configuration is identified by SKU DZO-SAP50IPL. It has a 95mm front diameter, an 86mm filter thread, and a minimum focus distance of 0.5m from the sensor plane. Coremicro is an authorized DZOFilm dealer based in Union City, California.
T1.4 Speed for Available-Light Filmmaking
A fast 50mm cinema prime helps isolate a subject while retaining the atmosphere of the location. Open to T1.4 for shallow depth of field, or stop down when a scene needs more of the frame in focus. The 46.5mm image circle supports full-frame and VistaVision acquisition.
Rounded Bokeh and Gentle Focus Transitions
A 16-blade iris gives out-of-focus highlights a rounded shape. Wide-open rendering combines lower contrast with a gentle transition away from the focal plane and subtle peripheral swirl. Floating elements help control aberrations as focus changes, while low breathing keeps attention on the subject during a rack focus.
Controlled Flare with Natural Color
Multilayer nano-coatings and the Arles blue coating treatment help manage flare and ghosting when bright sources enter the composition. Internal anti-reflective surfaces further limit stray light. A protective front-element coating helps resist dust and dirt accumulation during location work.
Manual Control for a Working Camera Rig
The PL-mount prime uses 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears with a 270-degree focus rotation. Its 95mm front diameter and 86mm filter thread provide clear reference points when choosing a matte box or screw-in filter. EF conversion requires a separately available mount; confirm camera clearance and the intended adapter or mount configuration before use.
Narrative Production
Use selective focus to guide attention through dialogue, reaction shots, and staged movement.
Commercial Production
Build product and talent shots around controlled depth of field, with manual focus marks for repeated takes.
Music Videos
Work practical lights and out-of-focus highlights into the composition while retaining the Arles visual character.
Cinematographers
A fast standard prime for full-frame productions with planned lighting, blocking, and focus.
Camera Assistants
Geared manual controls for rehearsed focus moves and repeatable lens settings.
Documentary Interviews
A 50mm option for controlled interview setups where subject separation supports the composition.
Rental Departments
A PL prime that can complement an existing Arles package with consistent series handling.
