DZOFilm Arles Zoom 65-180mm T2.6 Lens (PL Mount)

Constant T2.6 fast full aperture, full-frame 43.5mm large image circle, signature Arles low-saturation cinematic tone, natural skin colour reproduction, lightweight and compact body, multi-mount compatibility adaptable to cinema and mirrorless camera systems. It is available with Imperial and Metric PL mount options.

Prime-Level 8K Optical Performance

Equipped with a four-group linkage optical system, Arles zooms deliver true 8K sharpness and outstanding aberration control across the entire focal range. Boasting a constant T2.6 fast aperture and a 43.5mm full-frame image circle, the lenses offer exceptional light transmission, shallow depth of field and prime-like clarity even at wide open, bringing immersive three-dimensional visuals for all lighting conditions.

Signature Arles Cinematic Colour

Inheriting the classic Arles visual tone, customised low-saturation blue coatings suppress flare and ghosting effectively. Tuned with natural warm colour science, the lenses reproduce accurate, flattering skin tones and consistent colour performance. Fully compatible with the DZOFILM lens ecosystem, it ensures unified footage for mixed-lens projects and supports high-frame-rate shooting with zero resolution loss.

Full-Range Parfocal & Efficient Focal Coverage

The dual-lens set covers core professional focal lengths: 65-180mm (mid-tele). The overlapping range meets most shooting scenarios, while the 65mm tele start avoids edge performance degradation. 100% full-range parfocal design eliminates focus shift during zooming, ensuring stable, precise focus and greatly reducing on-set lens swaps for higher shooting efficiency.

Rugged Professional Build for All Scenarios

Featuring dust-proof and splash-resistant construction plus a premium front protective coating, the lenses maintain stable optical performance in harsh environments like deserts, snowfields and rainy days. Internal ultra-matte anti-reflective texture eliminates stray light, delivering high-contrast, pure cinematic imagery in complex lighting and backlit scenes.

Compact Lightweight & Premium Optics

Loaded with high-grade ED and HRI optical elements, the lens set achieves superior resolution, backlight contrast and aberration correction. Weighing under 1.8 kg with a compact body length, it matches the size of DZOFILM series lenses, enabling easy gimbal rig setup, portable carrying and seamless gear matching.

Wide Cross-Camera Compatibility

It supports EF-mount adaptation via official tools, and is compatible with mainstream mirrorless mounts including E, RF, L, Z and DX through Octopus adapters, adapting to diverse professional camera systems and creative production needs.

Prime-Level Image Quality Greater Freedom to Zoom

An all-new quad-synchronised zoom mechanism continuously optimises image-field performance, aberration correction, and resolving power throughout the zoom range. It delivers imaging and depth-of-field performance close to that of prime lenses even when the high-magnification zoom is wide open. The fast aperture combined with the full-frame sensor coverage produces imagery that is richly detailed.

The 100° zoom travel paired with the cam mechanism, 270° of precision focus control, and the smooth bokeh from the 16-blade iris effectively separate the subject from the bac kground, achieving a harmonious and natural transition between in-focus and out-of-focus areas, along with a distinct sense of visual depth that creates a three-dimensional visual experience.

Premium Construction for Optical Excellence

The Arles Zoom series delivers inherently low distortion. Advanced ED and HRI glass, paired with a precision cam-driven zoom mechanism, enhances resolution, aberration control, backlight contrast, and operational smoothness. Micron-level manufacturing precision, a 100° zoom rotation, and a 270° focus rotation ensure smooth zooming and precise, repeatable focus control. Fluorite-like low-dispersion glass effectively suppresses chromatic, spherical, and coma aberrations while maintaining a compact, lightweight design.

The Arles Look, Now in Zoom

The Arles Zoom series retains its signature low-saturation blue coating, delivering warm, natural tones with a modern yet distinctive character while effectively suppressing flare and ghosting. It also supports high-frame-rate shooting without compromising image quality. Its refined colour science renders skin tones naturally and delicately while maintaining consistent colour matching across DZOFILM's new-generation lens lineup. Cinematographers can freely build their ideal lens set for independent productions, small commercial projects, and large-scale film crews.

Parfocal Precision, Immersive Results

The 65-180mm zooms cover the most frequently used focal lengths, with a practical overlap for greater on-set efficiency. Starting at 65mm, the telephoto zoom supports versatile framing from medium to long telephoto.

Extended zoom coverage reduces lens changes in demanding environments, while the parfocal design maintains focus throughout the zoom range. A consistent focus-ring layout enables intuitive manual and follow-focus operation for smooth, cinematic zoom moves.

Two zooms and eleven matching primes deliver consistent colour and minimal focus breathing for a more immersive image in every frame.

Compact Design for Seamless Integration

Delivering both a high zoom ratio and outstanding image quality, the Arles Zooms remain remarkably compact at just 1.77-1.78 kg and 17.8-19.0 cm in length-similar in compact size, yet significantly elevated in performance.

All 11 Arles primes and 2 zooms share a consistent 95mm front diameter and 86mm filter thread for seamless compatibility with industry-standard accessories. Identically positioned M0.8 focus and iris gears eliminate the need to readjust follow-focus systems and accessories when changing lenses, accelerating on-set workflows.

Flexible and Inclusive for Unlimited Innovation

The Arles series features a short rear assembly and interchangeable PL and EF mounts. Paired with manual, electronic, or VND adapters, it supports E, L, Z, RF, X, and DX mounts with Octopus adapters-ready for handheld, tripod, gimbal, dolly, robotic arm, crane, and remote-head setups across documentaries, narrative films, commercials, automotive shoots, and independent productions.
