DZOFILM Arles Lustre T1.6 Cinema Prime Lenses
The Arles Lustre is a characteristic high-speed prime lens series and a brand new exploration of cinematic artistry by DZOFILM. "Lustre," meaning "soft glow," draws inspiration from the iconic golden halation in cinema history. To craft this large-format lens collection designed for stylistic expression, we collaborated with over 20 cinematographers and photographers specializing in art films, period dramas, and fashion advertising. Based on the sophisticated delicate design of Arles prime, after more than 50 rounds of precise adjustments and refinements, from optical engineering to aesthetic design, we achieved the distinctive "Lustre Look".
The Lustre series features a unique coating formula that delivers expressive amber flaring, with a soft, poetic glow that infuses every frame with a sense of nostalgia and emotion. Ideal for indie films, period dramas, experimental films, and fashion commercials, Lustre creates a vintage aesthetic and emotionally resonant imagery. Its stylistic flares and soft contrast evoke a dreamy, evocative ambiance, enriching visuals with greater depth and texture.
The T1.6 wide aperture design ensures ample light intake even in low-light environments, while the reconfigured optical structure offers enhanced control over flaring effects. The soft contrast reveals intricate shadow details and tonal gradations with precision. When paired with Vista Vision sensors and minimal breathing, the T1.6 wide aperture not only delivers a beautifully shallow depth of field but also creates an immersive visual experience with enhanced spatial depth and dimensionality. Whether shooting in challenging lighting conditions or at high frame rates, Lustre excels in rendering precise light and shadow contrasts. Its natural, flowing light and the grandeur of large-format imagery infuse each frame with poetic expression and striking visual impact.
The Lustre series is designed with industry-grade precision to ensure mechanical reliability and consistent operation.
