At Mysto Productions, we’re always looking for ways to enhance our video production capabilities and deliver exceptional results for our clients. That's why we are thrilled to announce the latest addition to our gear arsenal: the DZO Arles cinema lenses, including the 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 75mm focal lengths. These lenses are not only a valuable asset to our own productions but will also be available for rental—providing the Oahu filmmaking community with access to top-tier cinematic tools.
Why the DZO Arles Cinema Lenses?
The DZO Arles lenses are known for their outstanding optical performance, featuring a fast T1.4 aperture that shines in low-light conditions and delivers a beautiful, shallow depth of field. Each lens in the series is built with a 16-blade iris, producing smooth and creamy bokeh that elevates the aesthetic of any shot. With robust construction and consistent color rendering, these lenses are perfect for both commercial and creative projects.
Our team at Mysto Productions chose the DZO Arles series because of their versatility and ability to adapt to a variety of shooting scenarios. Whether we're capturing a sunlit beach scene or a shaded forest shot, these lenses deliver with sharpness, vibrancy, and cinematic quality.
Putting the Lenses to the Test at Kalama Beach
We couldn’t wait to see what these lenses could do, so we headed to the stunning Kalama Beach on Oahu to put them through their paces. The location offered a mix of lighting conditions—direct sunlight, soft shade, and everything in between—allowing us to explore the full potential of the lenses.
We utilized all four focal lengths, experimenting with apertures between T1.4 and T2. To fully showcase the lenses' capabilities, we shot both in slow motion and at the standard 23.976 frames per second. The results were nothing short of impressive. The footage captured rich colors, sharp details, and a cinematic feel that truly brings our storytelling to life.
We created a test video highlighting this shoot, and we’re excited to share it with you! The video demonstrates the dynamic range of the DZO Arles lenses and offers a glimpse into the creative possibilities they open up.
Available for Rental: Bringing Professional Gear to Oahu
In addition to integrating these lenses into our own projects, we’re also making them available for rental. We understand the challenges of accessing high-quality cinema lenses on Oahu, and our goal is to bridge that gap by offering competitive pricing and exceptional service.
When you rent from Mysto Productions, you’re not just getting gear—you’re getting support. Our team is committed to ensuring a smooth and pleasant rental experience, from helping you select the right equipment to providing guidance on setup and use.
Our Commitment to the Creative Community
We believe that offering the DZO Arles lenses to the public aligns with our mission to support the local creative industry. Whether you’re an independent filmmaker, a commercial producer, or a content creator, having access to professional-grade tools can make a significant difference in the quality of your work.
By adding these lenses to our rental inventory, we hope to inspire more projects, foster creativity, and contribute to the growing film and media scene in Hawaii.
