I am SUPER impressed with how sharp the 14mm is on the GFX 100ii and also how much is in that sharp focus at one time. Everytime I try cine or vintage lenses something is out of focus weather it’s a hand or a nose compared to a face etc. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Sick footage in the beginning and oh yaeh .... The ARLES are amazing (Check the French city named 'Arles' for the proper pronunciation :-) Vincent van Gogh created many of his masterpieces there and praised the quality of the natural light ...)
Ah man, was waiting for this mate. Grt review and some beautiful shots with the arles. Have started saving uo for the Athena's but this has a lot going for it but the size mainly is the kicker, as in my situation it's more 1 person doc style vids. Hopefully I can rent these out and put to use down the line, looking forward to more work with your arles set now. The GFX talking shot looked killer.
Love every DZO lens I've ever tried. What really interested me in this video is that it appears these lenses easily cover the Fuji GFX format... meaning: this could be an incredible set of lenses for the new 65mm Black Magic 17k cine cam. Wonder what the full coverage is of the Arles...
Stunning shots! Looks so expensive. These lenses seem to fit the dynamic range of the Kinefinity really well. Believe Arles rhymes with Carl, not that it matters.
Bro, your MAVO footage always comes out so filmic.... I know you talking about the lens here.... But no lie, I had to go check my account for a minute... Great job!
Nice practical review with these lenses! They look super solid all around and an alternative to much more expensive glass. It'd be great to see a comparison between the DZO Arles and the Arri Signature Primes. Also it'd be interesting to see you do a review with the Cooke SP3 lenses! They are my first choice among the "budget" cinema lenses but are about double the price of the Arles.
Amazing material ! Honestly I love the falloff off of these, pondering whethere I should get a set or not...How do you think this would work on a Gimball ? Im doing a lot of gimball work and the weight of Arles is something Im a bit concerned with
I know the Vespid’s were a tad warmer on the wider focal lengths. My 21 vs 40mm had a noticeable difference. I wonder if that’s the same with the Arles
Awesome video man! Quick question. If you didn't have the money for the whole set, but you wanted to start with one, and then another? Which would be your #1 and #2. Thanks!!!
They look sooo beautiful!! Man, how I'd love the 21, 40 and 135. Well, all of them really, but those to start. Do you have a link where we can get them with teeth for the mattebox ?🤣 Really looking forward to seeing the Arles with the Tuners.
@@CineDailies thanks - that was a joke about the false teeth taped to the matte box really ;-) What a great way to create a view from inside a mouth shot!
Yeah I use the lidar pro on about 80% of the shots. The opening shot of me walking towards the boxer was the lidar. It has been VERY useful for shots I can't normally pull when I'm camera opting or with no 1st AC .
I touched a Arles lens at B&H the other day and the focus wheel had this "clicking" sound. Similarly to aperture 1/3rd stops on some manual lenses. Was this a single lens issue or is this what it sounds like on the Arles? Thanks for the great vid!!!
@@CineDailies another question. Taking into consideration that the xh2s has a cropped sensor, how would the image turnout if I use a step up ring to use a 82mm filter in these lenses (which I believe have 86mm filter threads). Would the crop eliminate the dark part of the stepup ring?
These focal length choices for the closeups are pretty wide. It feels so distorted like a 0.5 selfie or Ernest goes to camp. it doesnt put the best foot forward showcasing how cinematic these lenses are. Just my opinion.
That comes down to grading. I left most of these clips with just a rec 709 conversion. Didn't really add contrast back in. And its actually easier to work with lower contrast lenses than it is with lenses with heavier contrast from my experience
That mountain running flare was beautiful
Love the bloom but that orb got me 😅
I will start with a set of 3. Wow that Arles 14mm on the GFX is no joke
Its WIDE haha
So which 3 are you picking?
@@c.s.christopher5801 25, 40 and 135
Before we go any further, I only have one thing to say. These shots are gorgeous 😍. This is why I love watching your work
Thank you so much 😀

This 14 is spectacular
it really is
@@CineDailies I can't wait to hear what you have to say about the GFX Eterna 🙂

Ima have trouble saying it regardless haha but ill try! Thanks for watching!

The fall off goes crazy!

Great video brother, loved the footage and unbiased perspective 🙏🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
I think these lenses on the tuners might be the new low budget meta!
Great review, thank you.
D
I believe it will be!!
Has anyone done tests on the Arles and the Module 8 tuners yet? I really want to see the K35 tuner on them
@ working on it. Check the community page. I asked for questions about that setup
Stunning shots! Looks so expensive. These lenses seem to fit the dynamic range of the Kinefinity really well. Believe Arles rhymes with Carl, not that it matters.
Thanks Tobias! And I agree they do fit really well together. And that's a helpful way to remember!
Bro, your MAVO footage always comes out so filmic.... I know you talking about the lens here.... But no lie, I had to go check my account for a minute... Great job!
Hahah yeah man ppl be SLEEPING on the Mavo
Heavily considering these, the image looked amazing.
Strong contenders
Convinced me to get the 14mm for the gfx 100ii
🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful footage
Thank you very much!
Very informative video. Thank you!

First thought was signature prime lite, looks great for the price.
I agree

@arunr4103 thats what I thought... thanks !
I know the Vespid’s were a tad warmer on the wider focal lengths. My 21 vs 40mm had a noticeable difference. I wonder if that’s the same with the Arles
this isn’t a major concern if you are matching and grading the footage. ya know?
I remember you used to have the SLR Magic APO's. How do you feel these compare? :) Great vid, thank you!!!
i like how the natural color is.
Great combination with the mavo
Awesome video man! Quick question. If you didn't have the money for the whole set, but you wanted to start with one, and then another? Which would be your #1 and #2. Thanks!!!
The 21mm and 40mm!
Good job with this video. I learned a lot and I’ll be coming back for more videos
Thank you for watching!
I got the A set but I might add the 21 and 40
Do itttt
@@CineDailies ight bet I definitely prefer these over the remus
Love your videos man!
Thanks for watching!
They look sooo beautiful!! Man, how I'd love the 21, 40 and 135. Well, all of them really, but those to start.
Do you have a link where we can get them with teeth for the mattebox ?🤣 Really looking forward to seeing the Arles with the Tuners.
Yeah that's a great starter set for sure! And yes the link is in the description its the Nisi C5 mattebox! Just scroll down
@@CineDailies thanks - that was a joke about the false teeth taped to the matte box really ;-) What a great way to create a view from inside a mouth shot!
@@alzibaba ohhhh lol I totally missed that hahaha
hoping to get this one with fx6 mark ii :) Thanks for the great video
Thanks for watching!
It is the most beautiful lens in an afforadable price.
Amen!
Did you use the DJI Focus Pro with them which helped shoot more wide open? Still having good results with it?
Yeah I use the lidar pro on about 80% of the shots. The opening shot of me walking towards the boxer was the lidar.
It has been VERY useful for shots I can't normally pull when I'm camera opting or with no 1st AC .
Yoooo the Thomas cameo!
YESSIR!
If you could only afford 1 length, which would you go for (for documentary & commercial work)? I currently have a 35-80 catta ace
The 21mm hands down. Love that focal length
I touched a Arles lens at B&H the other day and the focus wheel had this "clicking" sound. Similarly to aperture 1/3rd stops on some manual lenses. Was this a single lens issue or is this what it sounds like on the Arles? Thanks for the great vid!!!
Thanks for watching! And it’s probably a single lens issue
amazing!! Would love to use it with my Xh2s. Should work fine with an adapter right? Which adapter would you recommend? Thanks for the videos!
Yeah I use the wooden camera PL to x-mount!
@@CineDailies another question. Taking into consideration that the xh2s has a cropped sensor, how would the image turnout if I use a step up ring to use a 82mm filter in these lenses (which I believe have 86mm filter threads). Would the crop eliminate the dark part of the stepup ring?
The Arles comes in an PL, AND an EF mount?
I believe when you buy the set it has both pl and ef
@@CineDailies Okay, cool. Because I could not find any info on it.
6:55 gosh that focus that barely me thinking to kiss this. Hahaha!
hows the gfx as an a cam? the footage looks amazing
The image is wonderful it can certainly be an A camera. but like the xh2s monitoring output is still an issue.
Do these cover tho GF mode on GFX100ii?
Great Video! How does these compare to the Nisi Athenas?
I talk them briefly in the review! 9:23
@@CineDailies oh shit I didn't see that haha, was watching while commenting! thank you
@@shizu9245 hahaha for sure
can these lenses be balanced on a RS4?
Love your new a-roll setup 🤌🏾🤌🏾
🙌🏽🙇🏽
how do they compare to the vespids as far as the look?
They are cleaner in my opinion
These focal length choices for the closeups are pretty wide. It feels so distorted like a 0.5 selfie or Ernest goes to camp. it doesnt put the best foot forward showcasing how cinematic these lenses are. Just my opinion.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts
the B set you say 😎😏
😉
Nice. What does it mean Lidar 2?
I used the Dji Lidar 2 for focus
@@CineDailies But DJI has only one LiDAR …
@@nyc_photo …DJI released a second version…It’s called the DJI lidar Pro…i just call it the 2. you can watch my review on it :)
@@CineDailies thx, ok)
“Arle” it’s a city in France 🇫🇷
Yep!
@@CineDailies not that we should always be saying PAHRHEE either, but I like Arles (minus the s) great review btw
„The name is Arles - the S is silent“ 😉
🫡
The Zeiss Otus lineup looks better and gets shit on more than these new hype train lenses...
cool. i like the Arles cand the otus are cool too. but overpriced for a non cine Lens.
I think it’s pronounced “Ar-lay”?? Could be wrong though haha
😂😂😂
Ehhh they seem to have really low contrast, not very versatile unless you ALWAYS want that look
That comes down to grading. I left most of these clips with just a rec 709 conversion. Didn't really add contrast back in. And its actually easier to work with lower contrast lenses than it is with lenses with heavier contrast from my experience
long ass arms mehn😂😂😂 that 14mm
Trippy right lol
Whoa is spelled W-H-O-A....The way you spell it is pronounced "WOOO-AHHH". Not putting you down. Just giving the right info.
😅🫡
i dont like it.
🫡 glad you're well!
0:23 (bottom right) Manuel focus? 😂 is that your focus puller’s name?
bahahaa i never proof read my stuff 😭😂 but now this is going to be the running joke haha 😂
0:06 in Germany we would call her “Talahon”
What does that mean??
