I finally got my hands on them! And although these demo shots are still pretty sloppy (my apologies for that), I'll soon take delivery of two demo lenses for some more careful testing. Enjoy this first look and interview.

These are literally my dream lenses. Like just the 50mm, could shoot a whole movie on that thing and be more than happy.

I felt that way about the 35 as I held it. I’ll only be getting the 50 and 100 in the mail, but I’ll be sure to give them very close scrutiny.

Some scenes shot with the DZOFilm Arles primes on the cheap, quite powerful Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K Full Frame. “Filmed for 2 days in the city of Arles and one afternoon back home in the French Alps. I used the DZO Arles 25, 35, 50, 75 and 180mm. Shot mostly between T1.4 and T2.8 Most of the footage is shot handheld, with the DJI Focus Pro Filmed on the BMCC6K, in 6K DCI at 24 and 48 FPS. Some shots on the Ronin RS4 Pro and mini iFootage Tripod” (Florent Piovesan, Of Two Lands) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrdphZp4st-5oo0.html

Thanks for the link! Florent is an OUTSTANDING artist, he could make equally beautiful films on a GoPro. Lovely to see his work with the Arles set as well.

@@nick_salazar No doubt Floris is very talented but don't downplay the role the camera is playing here. The BM 6K FF has very good color reproduction and color separation and very filmic highlight roll-off, and there is a sort of 3D pop-out quality (three dimensionality) to it that no every camera has, specially in its price range.

@nick_salazar Ай бұрын

I am going to strongly disagree that the camera has anything whatsoever to do with “pop“ of an image. There are some mild texture differences you can get from things like the OLPF or noise floor, as well as differences like dynamic range and frame rates. But “pop” is not a characteristic inherent to sensors or cameras.

@LOMISFILM Ай бұрын

There are the ones, no contest. They will be mine later this year... granted the industry doesn't completely collapse before then. 💰🤞

@nick_salazar Ай бұрын

I have no doubt that these will be MASSIVELY popular. Now that test footage is starting to drop from all kinds of sources, the "secret" is out. But you heard it here "first" so to speak, haha. 🙂

@eugeneiii9564 Ай бұрын

Nice video! I was wondering if the the mid/detail has been manipulated in the grade.

@nick_salazar Ай бұрын

I can’t remember, there might be a mild amount. I did a lot of copy/paste grading just to get through all this Cinegear content in a reasonable time frame. I’ll be more deliberate with the actual review.

Id like to hear more of your take on the Arles Primes in comparison to the Athena primes. Im on the fence of selling my athena's for these. But what are your thoughts? I own the whole set of L series RF lenses from Canon and curious if its worth keeping three full sets of spherical lenses (eventually planning to invest into the Cato 2x from blazar to cover the 2x anamorphic) . I also own/rent the VRaptor, Canon c70 and canon R5. Each for its own application and usage. Originally bought Athena primes for corporate shoots using my Canon cameras and thought I'd use the Athena primes more often but i tend to keep going back to the RF lenses since they have very good speeds. Don't want to compromise f/t stop. Arles lenses look promising. Larger and heavier than the Athena primes (assuming bigger glass means cleaner and sharper thn Athena's) but other than that im very curious now to see if i should sell my Athena's for these.

@nick_salazar Ай бұрын

You’re in luck, friend. I am asking myself the same question, and I will definitely let you know what conclusion I come to. After more and more time with the Athenas, I’m starting to think it would better to have two or three lenses like Arles, rather than the set of five Athena. But I will let you know once I’ve had more time with Arles. :-)

They mentioned 50mm comes with one aspherical element and 14mm, 21mm, and 25mm lenses each incorporate two aspherical elements what about 40mm & 75mm any idea?

@nick_salazar Ай бұрын

I have no idea. If you look at the ProAV tests, the 25 and 35 seem to have the most evidence of asph elements in the onion bokeh, but it only shows up in certain conditions. I’m testing the 50 and 100 now and they are as clean as you could ask for.

@chrisjenkins9978 Ай бұрын

Any idea on the price range for these new lenses?

@nick_salazar Ай бұрын

Yep you can see pricing on B&H and other sites. As of this writing it’s $2149 for a single or $9600 for the set of five.

I just don't like the image coming from theses lenses (on your video)

@nick_salazar Ай бұрын

Hmm, well these are pretty quick and relatively sloppy shots. I'm going to have a nice careful look at them when they arrive here (tomorrow actually!) - and hopefully that will give us a clearer look at their nature.

@FloGrd31 Ай бұрын

@@nick_salazar Sure :) but compared to the SP3 with the same shots, it's a no brainer for me ☺

@nick_salazar Ай бұрын

@@FloGrd31 I agree that my SP3 shots have a different look from what you see here. But let's remember they were taken under somewhat different conditions. This video was shot in earlier morning, with cloud cover, in open air. The Cooke shots were shot in mid-afternoon under a bright sun, under cover of Cooke's white tent. VERY different lighting, which is about 80% of what makes a final image. I'm not trying to discount your feelings at all. Just pointing out that this is far from a controlled comparison.

Wow, the guy from DZO couldnt speak intelligently about his lenses at all.

@nick_salazar Ай бұрын

I wouldn’t be too hard on him. Not everyone you meet at a booth like this has been properly equipped for these kinds of impromptu interviews. But you’d never know it by their warmth and alacrity. They’re just trying to represent the brand the best they can, and I think Jeremy did a great job.

@michaelhenaghan8915 Ай бұрын

He didn't even say "we" when referring to DZO as a company and nothing he said wasn't already released info from weeks ago.

@@nick_salazar Kinda their job to know the product before going to a convention and speaking about it on camera. What are that lenses attributes, what separates it from other primes?

@nick_salazar Ай бұрын

Again, to be fair, I preempted him quite a bit by running through most of the key points myself without giving him a chance. Normally an interviewer just says “what are these?” and lets the exhibitor go like a wind up toy. But I already knew what they were and couldn’t help but talk about them, so I sort of stole his job from him.

@@nick_salazar Well, to be fair, due to you and him, I learned nothing about this lens. So thanks. I'll seek information elsewhere.
