Lens Overview — DZOFilm 100mm T1.4

The DZOFilm Arles 100mm T1.4 is a full-frame prime cinema lens built for professional cinematography applications. Designed around a fixed 100mm focal length, this lens falls squarely in the standard-to-short telephoto range, making it a natural choice for portraiture, close-up work, and narrative filmmaking. The T1.4 maximum aperture is a standout characteristic, offering significant light-gathering capability that opens creative possibilities in controlled or challenging lighting environments while producing a shallow depth of field.

The lens covers a full-frame and VistaVision format, making it well-suited for large-format digital cinema cameras. Focusing is entirely manual, which is standard and expected for a dedicated cinema lens of this class, allowing focus pullers precise, repeatable control. Mount options include PL Mount, Canon EF, and Sony E, giving productions flexibility across a wide range of cinema and mirrorless camera platforms without the need for additional adapters.

Weighing 1,200g, the lens has a substantial, professional-grade build consistent with dedicated cinema glass. There is no image stabilization, which again is typical for a manual cinema prime intended for use on rigged or gimbal-supported setups. Overall, the Arles 100mm T1.4 presents as a versatile large-format prime with an impressive aperture and broad mount compatibility.
