Arles 18mm T1.4 PL Cine Lens

The Arles 18mm T1.4 is a full-frame prime cinema lens built for ARRI PL-mount cameras. It covers a 46.5mm image circle, making it suitable for large-format sensors including VistaVision. The lens is designed for professional filmmakers who need consistent sharpness and a cinematic look across the frame.

T1.4 to T22 aperture with 16-blade iris

The aperture range runs from T1.4 to T22, providing deep exposure control and a very shallow depth of field at the wide end. A 16-blade iris produces a soft, natural bokeh with slightly swirling character at the periphery. Multilayer nano coating helps control flare and ghosting while maintaining colour accuracy.

270-degree focus rotation and PL mount

Manual focus turns through 270 degrees for precise, repeatable focus pulls. Floating elements minimise focus breathing, and aspherical plus low-dispersion glass reduce aberrations. The industry-standard PL mount ensures direct compatibility with professional cinema camera bodies without adapters.

Questions about this item

How does the 18mm focal length behave on a full-frame sensor?

The 18mm focal length provides an ultra-wide field of view on full-frame and VistaVision sensors, ideal for expansive environmental shots or tight interior spaces.

What does the PL mount mean for camera compatibility?

The industry-standard PL mount allows direct attachment to ARRI and other PL-mount cinema cameras, and can be adapted to other systems with the appropriate mount adapter.

What are the physical mounting requirements for this lens?

The lens uses a PL mount with a durable aluminum alloy construction, requiring a camera with a native PL mount or a PL-mount adapter for secure attachment.
