DZOFilm Arles FF/VV Prime Cine 5-Lens B-Set (14/21/40/135/180mm, ARRI PL, Feet)

The DZOFilm Arles FF/VV 5-Lens B-Set (DZO-SAP5B14IPL) combines five expressive ARRI PL cinema primes: 14mm T1.9, 21mm T1.4, 40mm T1.4, 135mm T1.8 and 180mm T2.4. Designed for compatible full-frame and VistaVision cameras, each lens covers a 46.5mm image circle and uses 16 iris blades, a 95mm front outside diameter, 0.8 MOD cine gears and 270° manual focus travel. This complementary B-Set extends from dramatic ultra-wide compositions to long-telephoto close-ups, with Arles painterly highlights and soft focus fall-off. Imperial (feet) focus markings, lens-support accessories and a protective hard case complete the package. Maximum T-stops differ across the five lenses; exposure must be matched when changing focal lengths.

Manufacturer SKU DZO-SAP5B14IPL is a five-lens Arles FF/VV B-Set containing exactly 14mm T1.9–T22, 21mm T1.4–T22, 40mm T1.4–T22, 135mm T1.8–T22 and 180mm T2.4–T22 primes. All five have ARRI PL mounts, Imperial focus markings, 46.5mm native image circles, 16 iris blades, 270° focus rotation, 0.8 MOD gears, 95mm fronts and aluminum-alloy housings. In lens order the optical designs are 15/12, 14/12, 13/11, 12/8 and 12/9 elements/groups; minimum focus distances are 0.28m, 0.33m, 0.40m, 0.98m and 1.07m. Iris rotations are 65°, 77°, 83°, 88° and 88° according to manufacturer reference data; a B&H 14mm entry reports 77° rather than 65°. The 14mm has no screw-in front filter thread, while the other four lenses list M86. PL housing lengths are 121mm for 14/21/40mm and 130mm for 135/180mm. Approximate lens weights are 1,646g, 1,500g, 1,633g, 1,846g and 1,675g, excluding the hard case. EF/LPL mounts, additional lenses and optional optical accessories are not included by implication.

FF/VV OPTICAL PERFORMANCE

Distinct T1.4–T2.4 Speed with Painterly Rendering

The 14mm T1.9, 21mm T1.4, 40mm T1.4, 135mm T1.8 and 180mm T2.4 lenses provide expressive options from expansive scenes to tight telephoto details. Arles rendering emphasizes luminous highlights, smooth background transitions and painterly image texture. Match exposure as maximum apertures vary across the kit.

FLOATING OPTICAL DESIGN

Controlled Focus Fall-Off Across Perspectives

Arles series floating optical elements help manage aberrations from distant focus to close-up distances. The manufacturer cinematic sample is an image-character example, not an internal optical diagram. Check focus breathing, edge rendering and sharpness on the chosen sensor and focal length.

PRECISION CINE MECHANICS

Shared 270° Focus and 0.8 MOD Gearing

All five primes provide 270° manual focus rotation, cinema-standard 0.8 MOD gears, 16 iris blades and 95mm fronts. Their iris rotations are 65°, 77°, 83°, 88° and 88° respectively. DZOFilm lists 65° for the 14mm while a B&H specification lists 77°; check the barrel during setup.

MULTILAYER OPTICAL COATING

Painterly Flares with Natural Color Control

Arles multilayer coating technology is designed to moderate flare and ghosting while retaining color fidelity. Blue-tinted lens treatment here describes Arles optical coatings, not a separate PAVO Blue Coating product version. Lighting, filtration and viewing angle affect the final look.

INTERNAL REFLECTION CONTROL

Backlit Contrast with an Organic Finish

Internal anti-reflective surfaces help suppress distracting reflections when shooting toward practical lights or daylight. Use careful lighting and exposure to control contrast while retaining the intentionally atmospheric Arles character. This image is a manufacturer series illustration rather than an additional kit item.

ARRI PL CAMERA WORKFLOW

PL-Mount B-Set with Optional Ecosystem

DZO-SAP5B14IPL ships as five ARRI PL lenses marked in feet. Manufacturer materials also illustrate other mount configurations and optional rear filtration, but EF/LPL conversion mounts or extra filters are not listed in this package. Verify flange calibration, clearance and recorded sensor mode.

The Arles B-Set pairs an ultra-wide 14mm with fast 21mm and 40mm perspectives plus long 135mm and 180mm telephoto options. The maximum apertures vary, so adjust lighting or exposure when moving between lenses. All five support 270° manual focus travel and common 95mm fronts, but only four take M86 screw-in filters. Use a compatible matte box for the 14mm and recalibrate follow-focus and iris motors for each change. The included lenses use ARRI PL mounts and Imperial (feet) scales; manufacturer series imagery does not imply EF/LPL adapters, additional lenses or unrestricted coverage of larger recording formats.

The DZO-SAP5B14IPL B-Set contains five ARRI PL Arles lenses — 14mm, 21mm, 40mm, 135mm and 180mm — and one hard carrying case with foam. Published dealer package lists include lens caps, shims and support hardware, but component quantities vary between sellers. Confirm precise accessory counts against Coremicro physical stock before sale.

14mm iris rotation source discrepancy: DZOFilm reference material specifies 65° for the 14mm while an individual B&H entry reports 77°. This page follows the manufacturer-listed 65° and recommends checking the physical lens or latest manufacturer documents when iris-motor calibration is critical. Filtration: the 14mm does not have a listed screw-in filter thread; the 21mm, 40mm, 135mm and 180mm list M86. Maximum T-stop: these five primes have different maximum apertures and are not a constant-speed kit.
