Hi Jake Ok by far this is my favorite review of the Arles prime lenses. Thorough and what i would consider real world test footage. I Would love to see you do a review on the Dulens apo mini primes.
Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate that. I would loove to do a review of the Dulens APO mini primes at some point. I love all the test footage I’ve seen so far
Have you used these with the S5 by chance? I've got a v-mount on the back of my rig but worry it would become too front heavy for a smaller camera like that. Really love the image these create.
I guess it depends on the size of the Vmount you have. If it’s a smaller one it might be hard to keep it balanced, and I would also recommend a lens support for a smaller rig. I’m sure other filmmakers have used that combo though and the footage is probably insane. Open gate would be really nice with these lenses
Hello Jake, Thank u for the review. I was wondering if you are planning on looking into the Dulens APO Mini primes, I think they would suit your style well with their vintage look
I actually have been keeping my eye on the Dulens APO Mini Primes for a while and would love to check them out at some point, they’re definitely on the list
The vespids are less “corrected” so they will have more imperfections. The Arles are much cleaner and open up a bit wider (T2.1 vs T1.4). The Vespids are also a lot smaller
Think about holding trying to hold a metal pole stable from the middle, it’s very easy. But if you hold the same pole from one side, it would be incredibly hard to keep the other end stable. This is the exact same scenario but on a shrunken scale, if the sensor isn’t balanced and you’re fighting to keep it balanced, it will introduce extra shake. Simply adding weight CAN help, but an unbalanced rig won’t do your footage or muscles any favors
Maybe, but I didn’t get paid to make this video and I don’t get to keep these lenses. Everything I say in this video is my personal opinion and I think these lenses are really awesome. You sound less optimistic about them, what do you think is wrong with the Arles Primes?
@jakehayden998 I haven't tested them, honestly I think they're overpriced. The title of the video was a question and I already knew the answer. When everybody talks about a product it's usually just marketing. So i admit it, I clicked just to answer the question not because I'm interested in these lenses. Fortunately, these days everyone can find a suitable lens option in every price range. We're lucky.
great video Jake, your quickly becoming one of my favs. You're getting so much better dude
Never heard a lens being called "stinky" before. Think I'll start using that for now on.
Extra points for pronouncing Arles correctly!
Love this perspective, well thought out and it has given me a lot to consider.
I really appreciate that, thank you
5:40, very well said 👊
I am not a DP, I work in post
but I am just here for the jazz
Honestly, that’s why I’m here as well
Great video dude, would love to get my hand on these for some testing.
Thanks for sharing

Great video! Do you think you might look at the Meike lenses down the road?
I would love to check out a set of Meike lenses at some point, I’ve never used them. Do you have any?
how are they compared to the vespids?
The vespids are less “corrected” so they will have more imperfections. The Arles are much cleaner and open up a bit wider (T2.1 vs T1.4). The Vespids are also a lot smaller
"No noticeable vignetting" did you add it in post??
Are you asking if I added or reduced the vignetting in post? I didn’t affect the vignetting or distortion at all
what follow focus do u use
It’s an Edelkrone Focus One. I love it as far as single rail follow focuses go
Hi Jake. Small correction. The marker on the camera is not the central balance point but the sensor plane.
"Keeping the sensor stable" is not accurate. The camera is not floppy. If one part of the camera is rotationally stable the whole thing is.
Think about holding trying to hold a metal pole stable from the middle, it’s very easy. But if you hold the same pole from one side, it would be incredibly hard to keep the other end stable. This is the exact same scenario but on a shrunken scale, if the sensor isn’t balanced and you’re fighting to keep it balanced, it will introduce extra shake.

"Everyone" is not talking about those lenses !
Oh dang, you got me
If I took the bait, I get to say it. Why is everybody talking about them? Easy. They're youtubers and they like money or free lenses.

@@crs2crs2what’s your verdict of them? Why do you rate them as overpriced?
