DZOFilm ARLES 21mm T1.4 (ft) Overview

Cinematic, Painterly Look
Equip your full-frame ARRI PL-mount camera with the Arles 21mm T1.4 FF/VV Prime Cine Lens from DZOFilm to capture consistently sharp, natural-looking imagery. This prime lens has an aperture range of T1.4 to T22, offering excellent low-light capture and an arrestingly shallow depth of field. A 16-blade iris and optical construction of multiple grouped elements provide a soft, natural bokeh and high-quality imagery.
Large-Format Coverage
  • The Arles series lenses have a 46.5mm image circle, providing compatibility with large-format sensors, including full-frame and VistaVision cameras.
  • The resulting increase in light transmission creates enhanced depth and dimension in your images.
Painterly Rendering
Use the Arles series lenses at maximum aperture to create a soft, low-contrast look with slightly swirling peripheral bokeh. A multilayer nano coating enables precise flare control, minimal ghosting, and exceptional color accuracy.
Minimal Breathing and Aberration
  • Floating elements minimize breathing during focus shifts.
  • The inclusion of aspherical elements helps to improve low-light capture.
  • Precision manufacturing includes low-dispersion optical materials that reduce chromatic aberration.
Interchangeable PL Mount
This ARRI PL-mount lens can be used with a separately available Canon EF mount, offering compatibility with a wide range of cine-style, mirrorless, and DSLR cameras. The Arles lenses are compatible with KOOP magnetic rear filters and various optical adapters.
Consistency Across Series
A 95mm outer diameter lets you incorporate different matte boxes or filters into your camera configuration. Each lens in the Arles series has a cine-style design with 0.8 MOD focus and aperture gears. Thanks to similar gearing and outer diameters across the range of lenses, switching between focal lengths is a breeze. The focus ring rotates 270°, and the iris ring 77° for intuitive manual adjustments.

I just shot an entire feature film on the 21mm and 40mm. These lenses are absolutely beautiful and sharp wide open. I was prepared to send them back thinking it was too good to be true… but they are performing at a very high level for the price. I can see them going up in value as people catch on.

Will this lens work with a Canon EF to RF speedbooster?
Asked by: Jack
When the DZOFilm Arles 21mm T1.4 FF/VV Prime Cine Lens (ARRI PL) is outfitted with the DZOFilm EF-Mount Tool Kit for Select Lenses, BH #DZOACC1MEF, it should be able to mount on an EF to RF speed booster, but it is always recommended to measure the rear projection of the lens to make sure that it will not hit the optical element in the speed booster.
