46mm Image Circle For Full-frame Coverage
Focal lengths range from 14mm ultra-wide angle to 135mm in the NiSi Athena range, covering super wide angle to portrait focal lengths. It allows you to capture a wide variety of subjects.
Fast Aperture T 1.9 / T2.4
25/35/50/85mm all have a maximum aperture of T1.9. The 14mm has a maximum aperture of T2.4 while the 18mm/135mm have a maximum aperture of T2.2. Athena Lenses have Soft bokeh for beautiful background separation.
Ultra-Low Chromatic Aberration and Micro-Contrast control
Designed with micro-contrast control and ultra-low chromatic aberration, these lenses offer unparalleled image quality with finer image details.
No Visible Focus Breathing
The Athena Prime lenses have been designed to minimize focus breathing. This means that, regardless of the focal length or aperture setting, the change in field of view when adjusting focus from the minimum focus distance to infinity is extremely small.
Drop In Filter System (E and RF)
The RF and E-mount models have a drop-in filter slot while the PL mount takes rear screw-on filters.
Matched Primes From 14 to 85mm
All NiSi Athena Prime lenses are similar in weight. They do not require rebalancing on a gimbal when switching between Athena lenses. All lenses share the same size and 77mm filter thread (14mm has no thread). Both aperture and focus rings are matched across the range. The 135mm is a larger size and is not weight matched.
300° Focus Rotation
With fluorescent focal scales for precise focus pulls.
Combine the Athena with the NiSi Close-Up Lens for a closer view.
The NiSi 77mm Close-Up lens is an excellent accessory for the NiSi ATHENA Cinema Lenses. When combined with the 25/35/50, and 85mm Athena lenses, it allows for a shorter focus distance. Here are the minimum and maximum focus distances when used together.
