The DZOFILM Arles Lustre 21mm T1.6 (Desert Gold) is a large-format cinema lens designed for PL and EF mounts, delivering wide-angle coverage with exceptional optical performance. Its fast T1.6 aperture ensures superior low-light capability and shallow depth of field, while the reconfigured optical structure minimizes flaring and enhances tonal precision. Optimized for Vista Vision sensors, the lens provides minimal breathing, soft contrast, and immersive spatial depth, making it ideal for high-end cinematography and visually striking storytelling.
The DZOFILM Arles Lustre 21mm T1.6 (Desert Gold) is a high-end wide-angle lens tailored for professional filmmakers and large-format productions. With 14 elements in 12 groups, the lens features a reconfigured optical design that suppresses flare, preserves soft contrast, and reveals intricate shadow details. Its fast T1.6 aperture allows shooting in low-light conditions while creating cinematic shallow depth of field and dimensional imagery.
Designed for Vista Vision and Full Frame sensors, the lens delivers a 96° diagonal field of view, capturing expansive landscapes, dynamic interiors, and immersive scenes with precision. Minimal focus breathing and smooth manual controls (270° focus rotation and 77° iris rotation) provide professional handling for narrative storytelling, commercials, and high-frame-rate shoots. The 16-blade iris ensures a natural bokeh that complements the poetic rendering of light and shadow.
Robustly built with a φ95mm front diameter, standard 0.8 Mod gearing, and a Desert Gold finish, the Arles Lustre 21mm T1.6 balances optical performance with cinematic ergonomics, making it an essential tool for filmmakers seeking large-format excellence.
