What does the APO design actually do?

It corrects color fringing both in and out of focus, which matters most at the open aperture. Colors stay natural in mixed and high-contrast scenes.

Does it cover a full-frame sensor?

Yes, the lens is listed with full-frame coverage. It also works on Super 35 cameras, where it uses only the center of the image circle.

Can I change the mount?

Yes, the lens uses interchangeable mounts. It ships in Arri PL, and other mounts are swapped on rather than adapted.

Is the flare controllable?

The rainbow flare is part of the vintage rendering. Stop down or change the angle to the light source to reduce it, or use it deliberately for character.

Is T2.4 fast enough for low light?

It is workable for well-lit sets and moderate interiors. In very dark scenes it gives up roughly a stop or more to T1.5-T2 cine primes.

Our take on the APO Mini Prime 85mm T2.4 Lens (White, Arri PL)

The Dulens APO Mini Prime 85mm T2.4 is a full-frame cine lens in Arri PL mount built around an apochromatic optical design. It targets color fringing at the open aperture, keeps distortion corrected, and adds a vintage rendering with rainbow flare. It is a short telephoto for interviews, portraits and close detail work on PL-mount cinema cameras. Against modern high-contrast cine primes it trades clinical sharpness for character, and its interchangeable mount system lets it move between camera systems.
