DZOFILM has announced a new line of cinema prime lenses under the Arles banner, named Arles Lustre. Unlike the previous Arles T1.4 series, which leaned toward a clean, modern rendering, the new Lustre lenses aim to offer something less clinical: a blend of modern optical design with a vintage aesthetic touch. This release reflects an ongoing trend in cinematography—a return to characterful imagery that embraces imperfection, flare, and texture. Filmmakers today are increasingly looking to lenses as creative tools, not just technical instruments, and the Arles Lustre series is DZOFILM’s answer to that demand.
