DZOFilm Arles T2.6 FF/VV Cinema Zoom Lens and Set (PL)

Two parfocal cinema zooms that cover 25-180mm in full-frame and VistaVision without a focal gap. The Arles Zoom set pairs a 25-75mm (3x ratio) with a 65-180mm (2.8x ratio), both holding T2.6 from wide open to close-down, with focus that stays put across the zoom range. That matters on set. No exposure shift as you zoom, no focus breathing, and the two lenses weigh nearly identical amounts, so a rebuild between them stays balanced whether you are on sticks or gimbal.

Built around the Arles design philosophy that connects the primes to these zooms, the set shares a 95mm front diameter, 0.8 MOD gear positions and a 16-blade iris for the smooth bokeh familiar to anyone using the Arles prime range. The quad-synchronized zoom mechanism holds optical performance throughout the range. Practical part: the 65mm start of the second lens avoids edge degradation that can show up with extreme telephoto, so the two-zoom overlap is tight and useable.

Housed in aluminum alloy with dust and splash resistance, each lens stays compact under 1.8kg and roughly 18-19cm long in PL configuration. The hard case with foam cutouts keeps both lenses organized for transport, and the kit includes Y-style lens supports, zoom levers, extension rods, shim sets, caps and a screwdriver for field maintenance.
