One Arles Look. A Powerful Zoom Duo.
Arles Zoom launch 2026
The Arles series takes its name from the southern French town that inspired Vincent van Gogh.
DZOFILM expands the Arles lineup with the new Arles Zoom duo: the 25–75mm T2.6 and 65–180mm T2.6 full-frame cine zoom lenses, delivering 25–180mm coverage in a unified Arles look.
Together, the two lenses cover a practical 25–180mm range. With a constant T2.6 aperture, 8K resolving power, and the signature Arles look, they offer a versatile two-lens zoom solution for narrative films, commercials, documentaries, and independent productions.
25–180mm Coverage for Essential Focal Lengths
The Arles Zoom series combines the 25–75mm T2.6 and 65–180mm T2.6 to cover the focal lengths most frequently used in professional production.
The 25–75mm spans wide to medium focal lengths, making it well suited to establishing shots, character interactions, and medium close-ups. The 65–180mm extends into the medium-to-telephoto range for portraits, spatial compression, detailed close-ups, and distant compositions.
A practical 65–75mm overlap creates a natural transition between the two lenses. Whether moving between setups on a narrative production or reframing quickly during documentary work, cinematographers can reduce lens changes and maintain a more efficient shooting rhythm.
Constant T2.6 for Consistent Exposure
Both full-frame T2.6 cine zoom lenses maintain a constant T2.6 maximum aperture throughout their respective zoom ranges.
As focal length and composition change, the constant aperture helps maintain consistent exposure and gives cinematographers greater control over the image. It also provides strong light transmission for interiors, night scenes, and available-light shooting while offering precise control over depth of field.
Combined with full-frame sensor coverage, the lenses produce detailed images with a clear sense of depth and separation between the subject and background.
Full-Frame Coverage and Flexible Mount Options
With a 43.5mm image circle, both Arles Zoom lenses are designed to cover full-frame cinema cameras and professional video systems.
The short rear assembly supports interchangeable PL and EF mounts. With DZOFILM Octopus adapters, the lenses can also be adapted to E, L, Z, RF, X, and DX mirrorless mounts.
From lightweight handheld configurations to tripods, gimbals, dollies, cranes, robotic arms, and remote-head systems, the Arles Zoom series integrates into a wide range of professional production setups.
Four-Group Linkage for Parfocal Precision
A cinema zoom must do more than cover multiple focal lengths. It must also maintain consistent optical performance and reliable mechanical control throughout the zoom range.
The Arles Zoom series features an all-new four-group linkage, quad-synchronized zoom mechanism. Multiple optical groups move in precise coordination to continuously optimize image-field performance, aberration correction, and resolving power across the entire zoom range.
A parfocal design maintains focus while zooming, reducing the need to refocus as the composition changes. The lenses also feature a 270° focus rotation, 100° zoom rotation, and M0.8 cine-standard gearing, enabling precise manual operation and integration with professional follow-focus systems.
Whether working on a fast-moving documentary, a commercial set, or a dynamic action sequence, cinematographers can adjust focal length and framing with smooth, repeatable control.
Compact 1.8kg Design for Versatile Production
Cinema zoom lenses require a careful balance between optical performance, mechanical precision, and manageable weight.
Despite their full-frame coverage, constant T2.6 aperture, and professional cine mechanics, both lenses weigh approximately 1.8kg. The 25–75mm measures 178mm in PL mount, while the 65–180mm measures 190.8mm.
Both lenses share a 95mm front diameter and M86 filter thread, simplifying the use of industry-standard matte boxes, filters, and other accessories.
Their compact dimensions make the Arles Zooms suitable for studio productions, documentary environments, mobile setups, independent crews, and gimbal-based shooting.
The Signature Arles Look, Now in Zoom
The Arles Zoom series retains the signature low-saturation blue coating of the Arles family, producing warm, natural tones with a modern and distinctive image style.
The coating effectively suppresses flare and ghosting, while an ultra-matte internal finish minimizes reflections and stray light for clean, high-contrast imagery. A 16-blade iris produces smooth, rounded bokeh and a natural transition between in-focus and out-of-focus areas.
For productions that combine multiple lenses, visual consistency is essential. The Arles Zooms are color-matched with the Arles Prime series, maintaining a cohesive look across color rendering, skin tones, and out-of-focus characteristics.
For wider perspectives, the 14mm, 18mm, and 21mm Arles Primes can complement the zoom set while preserving the established Arles look.
An Efficient Zoom Solution for Diverse Productions
Designed for narrative films, commercials, documentaries, short films, and independent productions, the Arles Zoom series balances professional image quality with practical on-set flexibility.
For larger productions, consistent rendering, parfocal performance, and broad focal coverage help streamline lens changes and keep the crew focused on the image.
For commercials and branded content, the constant T2.6 aperture and unified Arles look help maintain visual consistency across different focal lengths and shooting setups.
For documentary filmmakers and smaller crews, two compact zooms provide extensive focal-length coverage without requiring a large set of individual lenses.
The result is a professional zoom system designed to improve production efficiency while maintaining the established image qualities of the Arles family.
