After finding success with the super fast Arles primes DZOFilm is back with a duet performance. Introducing the brand new 25-75mm & 65-180mm T2.6 Arles Zooms. First shown earlier this year, they are now available for pre-order. Built to slot in with the Arles ecosystem, they bring versatility and value for current and potential owner operators. The question is: will their lack of speed mean they will get left behind?

If you look back even just a few years, the concept of shooting anamorphic was pretty much only available to the highest-end filmmakers and video production crews. You’d have to have access to the very best, and often most expensive, cameras and gear to pull off shooting in this iconic format. And while it’s not necessarily cheap to do it now, it’s definitely more affordable than ever before. You still have to be crafty, though, and find the right deals. Which is why we thought it was cool that the team at B&H would put out such an interesting video that breaks down some of DZOFilm’s Arcana line of anamorphic prime lenses, specifically showing how indie filmmakers could shoot with them. Let’s check it out. * * * ### DZOFilm Arcana Anamorphic Lenses In this video from B&H Photo Video Pro Audio’s YouTube channel, our host, Sidney, tests the DZOFilm Arcana anamorphic prime lenses. We covered this new lens series from DZOFilm when it was announced back in March and have been impressed not just by what the lenses offer in terms of specs and quality, but with the brand’s focus on making them affordable for everyday, indie filmmakers looking to access this anamorphic format, perhaps for the first time. This video test does a good job of not just breaking down the same physical specs, but it really tests the creative potential of these lenses as well as tests the flare and bokeh to showcase their capabilities, as well as asking who these lenses are actually for. Here’s the full breakdown of what’s covered in the video with timestamps for quick hopping. * 0:00 Intro * 0:34 Test Footage * 1:40 Physical Specs * 2:23 Breaking Down the Test Video * 2:57 Creative Potential * 3:33 Flare Test * 4:30 Bokeh Test * 5:32 Who is This For? ### Price and Availability The video showcases three lenses from the DZOFilm Arcana lineup as it currently stands, listed below. * DZOFilm Arcana 32mm Anamorphic Prime Lens * DZOFilm Arcana 45mm Anamorphic Prime Lens * DZOFilm Arcana 75mm Anamorphic Prime Lens The lenses appear to be temporarily out of stock right now, but you can find more info on preordering them individually or as part of a three-lens kit, with full specs and purchase options featured below. * Full Frame | T2.1-T16 Aperture Range * 32, 45, and 75mm Anamorphic Primes * Neutral Flare, Dramatic Oval Bokeh * 1.5x Anamorphic Squeeze * 0.8 MOD Gears / 270° Focus Rotation * 80mm Front Outside Diameter * High-Resolution Center, Sharp Edges * Refined Titanium Finish * 77mm Filter Thread * Compact Form, Consistent Series Design ### DZOFilm Arcana Anamorphic Prime 3-Lens Kit The ARRI PL-mount **Arcana Anamorphic Prime 3-Lens Kit** from **DZOFilm** comprises 32, 45, and 75mm lenses with nearly identical lengths and weights.

DZOFILM launched the Octopus II Adapter and Marlin 1.4x Extender, providing greater flexibility, compatibility, and efficiency across a wide range of filmmaking applications, from short-form bloggers, content creators, livestreamers, and YouTubers to independent filmmakers, commercial media and advertising, and professional DOPs. Octopus II: 2nd Generation Multi-Mount Lens Adapter The new Octopus II is a highly versatile multi-mount lens adapter that supports E, Z, L, and RF mount lenses, as well as Super35, full-frame, and medium-format sensors. With 7.12% more internal space, it offers improved compatibility with DZOFILM's Arles, Arcana, Vespid, Catta, Pictor, Gnosis, and other professional cinema lenses.

DZOFILM Octopus II adapts PL lenses to E, Z, L and RF camera bodies, from $199. Marlin 1.4x Extender extends Super 35 to full-frame, from $799.

Lens manufacturer DZOFILM has introduced a new version of its Octopus lens mount adapter, and a new Marlin 1.4x extender. The Octopus 2 adapter, which DZOFILM says is almost half the weight of the previous model, is designed to allow Sony E, Nikon Z, Leica L and Canon RF mirrorless camera users to fit PL-mount cinema lenses to their cameras to introduce a different look to their films. The Marlin extender increases the effective focal length of PL lenses by 1.4x, to make them appear longer. In doing so the Marlin magnifies the imaging circle of the lens, so that when used with S35/APS-C lenses they will cover the sensor of a full frame camera.
