The Arles Prime 40 mm T1.4 combines a natural perspective with a fast aperture and 46.5 mm VV / FF coverage. Its 13-element, 11-group optical design and floating elements help maintain performance from infinity through close focus.
The Arles series’ blue multi-layer coating helps control flares and stray light while preserving neutral color reproduction.

A fast aperture for low-light work and depth-of-field control.
Minimum focusing distance measured from the sensor plane.
95 mm front diameter, M86 filter, 0.8 MOD gearing, and 270° focus throw.

A 16-blade iris, matched ring positions, and interchangeable metric/imperial scales simplify focal-length changes without rebuilding cine accessories. This configuration has a PL mount; an optional EF mount is available, and the lenses work with DZOFilm Koop magnetic rear filters.
The PL aluminum-alloy housing is 121 mm long and weighs approximately 1,633 g.
