NiSi 85mm ATHENA PRIME Full Frame Cinema Lens T1.9 with Fluorescent Focal Scale (PL Mount)
Introducing the NiSi ATHENA PRIME 85mm Full Frame Cinema
Lens T1.9 (PL Mount). This lens is designed with maximum micro-contrast control
and ultra-low chromatic aberration, providing unparalleled image quality with
finer image details. With a large aperture of T1.9 and soft bokeh, this lens offers
beautiful background separation, making it ideal for capturing stunning images
and videos.
Flexible Workflow and Creative Control
The Athena Prime Lens Series (PL mount) is equipped with a rear filter
mount, which provides a more flexible workflow and creative control for
filmmaking. Filmmakers can easily add ND filters, polarizers, or other filters
to achieve their desired look without having to attach filters to the front of
the lens. This feature also makes it easier to swap filters quickly and efficiently,
saving time and reducing the risk of lens damage.
Minimize Focus Breathing
The lens has been designed to minimize focus breathing, ensuring that the
change in field of view when adjusting focus from the minimum focus distance to
infinity is extremely small. This feature is particularly important for
filmmakers who need to maintain a consistent field of view when focusing on
their subject. With the Athena Prime Series lens, filmmakers can achieve
precise focus pulls and maintain a consistent look throughout their shots.
Easy-to-Use Construction
In addition, the NiSi Athena Prime 85mm lens is matched in weight and size
with other lenses in the series, eliminating the need for rebalancing on a
gimbal when switching between lenses. The 77mm filter thread and matched
aperture and focus rings across the range also make it easy to use lens
accessories such as filters and focus gears. The focus ring features 300
degrees of rotation with fluorescent focal scales for precise focus pulls,
making it easier for filmmakers to achieve their desired focus.
