DZOFILM is excited to introduce the Arles B Set. This set is a perfect complement to the Arles Series and offers a diverse range of focal lengths, including 14mm T1.9, 21mm T1.4, 40mm T1.4, 135mm T1.8, and 180mm T2.4.
Expansive Focal Range for Unmatched Versatility
Arles B set spans from the ultra-wide 14mm T1.9, which delivers a 116° diagonal field of view on Vista Vision format with minimal distortion, to the 180mm T2.4 telephoto lens, designed for capturing exquisite detail and depth. The 14mm lens provides a sweeping view with a close focusing distance of 0.28m, ideal for immersive wide-angle shots and dramatic close-ups. The 40mm lens provides a versatile perspective with a natural view. Its balanced focal length and wide aperture produce rich, detailed images and a pleasing depth of field, which is ideal for various scenes and creative shots. On the other end, the 135mm and 180mm lenses offer impressive spatial compression and shallow depth of field, perfect for detailed close-ups and expressive portraits.
With this broad focal range and exceptional optical performance, the Arles B Set promises to elevate visual storytelling and expand creative possibilities.
Precision Optics for Superior Performance
Each lens in the Arles B Set is crafted with precision to achieve optical excellence. The 14mm, 21mm, 40mm, 135mm, and 180mm lenses feature two aspherical elements, including a large 50mm diameter element, to enhance image quality in low light. This design corrects spherical aberration, coma, and distortion while reducing onion-ring bokeh. A floating lens group structure further minimizes aberrations during focus transitions from infinity to close-up, ensuring exceptional image clarity and fidelity.
Exquisite Craftsmanship for Pure Imagery
True to the Arles Series’ commitment to purity and precision, the B Set lenses feature a custom low-saturation blue coating to minimize reflections and suppress stray light.(Staying true to the Arles Series’ dedication to clarity and precision, the B Set lenses are equipped with a custom low-saturation blue coating that reduces reflections and minimizes stray light. ) This coating and the internal ultra-matte black finish ensure sharp, clean images even in backlighting scenarios.

This coating, combined with an advanced internal light-absorbing treatment, ensures sharp, clean images even in challenging backlighting conditions
Meticulous Engineering for Seamless Operation
The Arles B Set is designed with operational efficiency in mind. With a unified front diameter of 95mm, the lenses are compatible with industry-standard filters and matte boxes, streamlining the shooting process. Consistent lens lengths across the 14mm to 100mm range, and only 9mm longger for 135mm and 180mm, facilitate smooth transitions between lenses and ensure balanced operation with stabilizers, Steadicams, and handheld setups.
Unparalleled Spatial Visual Impact
The Arles B Set covers Vista Vision sensors with a maximum image circle of 46.5mm, enhancing depth and dimensionality and providing expansive, immersive visuals. Compatible with high-end cinema cameras like BMD 12K, RED Monstro, and ARRI Alexa LF, these lenses deliver a sharp, neutral look that meets the rigorous demands of large-format film and high-end post-production workflows.
Additionally, they are compatible with KOOP magnetic filters, Marlin expanders, and other optical adapters for added versatility.
