Love every DZO lens I've ever tried. What really interested me in this video is that it appears these lenses easily cover the Fuji GFX format... meaning: this could be an incredible set of lenses for the new 65mm Black Magic 17k cine cam. Wonder what the full coverage is of the Arles...
Ah man, was waiting for this mate. Grt review and some beautiful shots with the arles. Have started saving uo for the Athena's but this has a lot going for it but the size mainly is the kicker, as in my situation it's more 1 person doc style vids. Hopefully I can rent these out and put to use down the line, looking forward to more work with your arles set now. The GFX talking shot looked killer.
I am SUPER impressed with how sharp the 14mm is on the GFX 100ii and also how much is in that sharp focus at one time. Everytime I try cine or vintage lenses something is out of focus weather it’s a hand or a nose compared to a face etc. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Bro, your MAVO footage always comes out so filmic.... I know you talking about the lens here.... But no lie, I had to go check my account for a minute... Great job!
Amazing material ! Honestly I love the falloff off of these, pondering whethere I should get a set or not...How do you think this would work on a Gimball ? Im doing a lot of gimball work and the weight of Arles is something Im a bit concerned with
Stunning shots! Looks so expensive. These lenses seem to fit the dynamic range of the Kinefinity really well. Believe Arles rhymes with Carl, not that it matters.
Nice practical review with these lenses! They look super solid all around and an alternative to much more expensive glass. It'd be great to see a comparison between the DZO Arles and the Arri Signature Primes. Also it'd be interesting to see you do a review with the Cooke SP3 lenses! They are my first choice among the "budget" cinema lenses but are about double the price of the Arles.
Sick footage in the beginning and oh yaeh .... The ARLES are amazing (Check the French city named 'Arles' for the proper pronunciation :-) Vincent van Gogh created many of his masterpieces there and praised the quality of the natural light ...)
They look sooo beautiful!! Man, how I'd love the 21, 40 and 135. Well, all of them really, but those to start. Do you have a link where we can get them with teeth for the mattebox ?🤣 Really looking forward to seeing the Arles with the Tuners.
@@CineDailies thanks - that was a joke about the false teeth taped to the matte box really ;-) What a great way to create a view from inside a mouth shot!
Awesome video man! Quick question. If you didn't have the money for the whole set, but you wanted to start with one, and then another? Which would be your #1 and #2. Thanks!!!
I know the Vespid’s were a tad warmer on the wider focal lengths. My 21 vs 40mm had a noticeable difference. I wonder if that’s the same with the Arles
Any thoughts on the comparison between Arles and Cooke SP3s?? I can't find ANYTHING on the SP3's but they seem amazing. Wondering if its worth the price difference though.
I haven't had the change to use the sp3s. I actually have no real interest. Its sad they don't come in PL and there inconsistent designs is a little annoying
@@CineDailies another question. Taking into consideration that the xh2s has a cropped sensor, how would the image turnout if I use a step up ring to use a 82mm filter in these lenses (which I believe have 86mm filter threads). Would the crop eliminate the dark part of the stepup ring?
sorry if i’ve commented this already, i think the comment got sent to the wrong video by accident, anyways; is it possible for you to do a more in depth comparison of image quality between the Nisi athenas and the dzo arles. i curious to see if the extra money is worth it, or if i should just use filters and post to soften things when needed?
I touched a Arles lens at B&H the other day and the focus wheel had this "clicking" sound. Similarly to aperture 1/3rd stops on some manual lenses. Was this a single lens issue or is this what it sounds like on the Arles? Thanks for the great vid!!!
Yeah I use the lidar pro on about 80% of the shots. The opening shot of me walking towards the boxer was the lidar. It has been VERY useful for shots I can't normally pull when I'm camera opting or with no 1st AC .
These focal length choices for the closeups are pretty wide. It feels so distorted like a 0.5 selfie or Ernest goes to camp. it doesnt put the best foot forward showcasing how cinematic these lenses are. Just my opinion.
That comes down to grading. I left most of these clips with just a rec 709 conversion. Didn't really add contrast back in. And its actually easier to work with lower contrast lenses than it is with lenses with heavier contrast from my experience

That mountain running flare was beautiful
Love the bloom but that orb got me 😅
I will start with a set of 3. Wow that Arles 14mm on the GFX is no joke
Its WIDE haha
So which 3 are you picking?
@@c.s.christopher5801 25, 40 and 135
Before we go any further, I only have one thing to say. These shots are gorgeous 😍. This is why I love watching your work
Thank you so much 😀

Just ordered the 40mm. Looking forwards to experimenting with it and seeing how it looks irl. Solo crew!

Hahah yeah man ppl be SLEEPING on the Mavo
That falloff is beautiful!! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to try them!!!
The fall off goes crazy!
Great video brother, loved the footage and unbiased perspective 🙏🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think these lenses on the tuners might be the new low budget meta!
Great review, thank you.
D
I believe it will be!!
Has anyone done tests on the Arles and the Module 8 tuners yet? I really want to see the K35 tuner on them
@ working on it. Check the community page. I asked for questions about that setup

Yeah that's a great starter set for sure! And yes the link is in the description its the Nisi C5 mattebox! Just scroll down

The 21mm and 40mm!
Beautiful footage
Thank you very much!
Heavily considering these, the image looked amazing.
Strong contenders
0:23 (bottom right) Manuel focus? 😂 is that your focus puller’s name?
bahahaa i never proof read my stuff 😭😂 but now this is going to be the running joke haha 😂
Convinced me to get the 14mm for the gfx 100ii
🔥🔥🔥
I know the Vespid’s were a tad warmer on the wider focal lengths. My 21 vs 40mm had a noticeable difference. I wonder if that’s the same with the Arles
this isn’t a major concern if you are matching and grading the footage. ya know?
What about the 25mm vespid and the 40mm ? Do those 2 match better ?
I remember you used to have the SLR Magic APO's. How do you feel these compare? :) Great vid, thank you!!!
Any thoughts on the comparison between Arles and Cooke SP3s?? I can't find ANYTHING on the SP3's but they seem amazing. Wondering if its worth the price difference though.
I haven't had the change to use the sp3s. I actually have no real interest. Its sad they don't come in PL and there inconsistent designs is a little annoying
First thought was signature prime lite, looks great for the price.
I agree
amazing!! Would love to use it with my Xh2s. Should work fine with an adapter right? Which adapter would you recommend? Thanks for the videos!
Yeah I use the wooden camera PL to x-mount!
@@CineDailies another question. Taking into consideration that the xh2s has a cropped sensor, how would the image turnout if I use a step up ring to use a 82mm filter in these lenses (which I believe have 86mm filter threads). Would the crop eliminate the dark part of the stepup ring?
Great Video! How does these compare to the Nisi Athenas?
I talk them briefly in the review! 9:23
@@CineDailies oh shit I didn't see that haha, was watching while commenting! thank you
@@shizu9245 hahaha for sure
I got the A set but I might add the 21 and 40
Do itttt
@@CineDailies ight bet I definitely prefer these over the remus
hows the gfx as an a cam? the footage looks amazing
The image is wonderful it can certainly be an A camera. but like the xh2s monitoring output is still an issue.
Very informative video. Thank you!
Happy to help!

These would be much harder to balance on a gimbal rs4 pro than vespids but how much more difficult?
This 14 is spectacular
it really is
@@CineDailies I can't wait to hear what you have to say about the GFX Eterna 🙂
If you could only afford 1 length, which would you go for (for documentary & commercial work)? I currently have a 35-80 catta ace
The 21mm hands down. Love that focal length
Good job with this video. I learned a lot and I’ll be coming back for more videos
Thank you for watching!
I touched a Arles lens at B&H the other day and the focus wheel had this "clicking" sound. Similarly to aperture 1/3rd stops on some manual lenses. Was this a single lens issue or is this what it sounds like on the Arles? Thanks for the great vid!!!
Thanks for watching! And it’s probably a single lens issue
Did you use the DJI Focus Pro with them which helped shoot more wide open? Still having good results with it?
Yeah I use the lidar pro on about 80% of the shots. The opening shot of me walking towards the boxer was the lidar.
It has been VERY useful for shots I can't normally pull when I'm camera opting or with no 1st AC .
Any tips using the dji lidar pro ? Also ever use the dji lidar pro with the vespids ?
@ I've made a few videos on the lidar. And the lidar works on just about any lens if properly calibrated
@@CineDailies what about on non cine ,canon ef or Rf lenses ?
i like how the natural color is.
Great combination with the mavo
Do these cover tho GF mode on GFX100ii?
Yes!
Yoooo the Thomas cameo!
YESSIR!
can these lenses be balanced on a RS4?
The Arles comes in an PL, AND an EF mount?
I believe when you buy the set it has both pl and ef
@@CineDailies Okay, cool. Because I could not find any info on it.
Love your videos man!
Thanks for watching!
@6:14 “They’d be a waste on the Komodo X” ..say what? Use an EF or PL speedbooster 😅
how do they compare to the vespids as far as the look?
They are cleaner in my opinion
It is the most beautiful lens in an afforadable price.
Amen!
trying to decide between the 21 and 25 to go with th 40 and 75.... any thoughts? haha
Are you on s35 or FF?
@@CineDailies s35 mostly.
@ I'd get the 21mm and 75mm
6:55 gosh that focus that barely me thinking to kiss this. Hahaha!
Nice. What does it mean Lidar 2?
I used the Dji Lidar 2 for focus
@@CineDailies But DJI has only one LiDAR …
@@nyc_photo …DJI released a second version…It’s called the DJI lidar Pro…i just call it the 2. you can watch my review on it :)

the B set you say 😎😏

„The name is Arles - the S is silent“ 😉
🫡
“Arle” it’s a city in France 🇫🇷
Yep!
@@CineDailies not that we should always be saying PAHRHEE either, but I like Arles (minus the s) great review btw
The Zeiss Otus lineup looks better and gets shit on more than these new hype train lenses...
cool. i like the Arles cand the otus are cool too. but overpriced for a non cine Lens.
I think it’s pronounced “Ar-lay”?? Could be wrong though haha
😂😂😂
Ehhh they seem to have really low contrast, not very versatile unless you ALWAYS want that look
That comes down to grading. I left most of these clips with just a rec 709 conversion. Didn't really add contrast back in. And its actually easier to work with lower contrast lenses than it is with lenses with heavier contrast from my experience
long ass arms mehn😂😂😂 that 14mm
Trippy right lol
Whoa is spelled W-H-O-A....The way you spell it is pronounced "WOOO-AHHH". Not putting you down. Just giving the right info.
