NiSi Athena is a range of 8x full frame ultra-fast cine primes from 14mm to 135mm. These lenses have disrupted the price point of premium cine primes, outperforming a lot of competitors that cost 3-4x times as much.
The Athena lenses all have a uniform design, weight and balance (135mm excluded) which makes them a dream to rig and stabilise. The Athenas are incredibly sharp, even wide open, without any compromise to colour or contrast. A simple construction guarantees clean flare with a pleasant aesthetic and a natural bloom will give you new confidence to shoot into the light. These lenses feature no noticeable distortion, chromatic abberation or focus breathing. A 16-blade iris delivers beautiful round bokeh at all focal lengths from 14mm to 135mm, creating beautiful subject isolation.
We can carry on here forever, but we recommend you visit The Picture for locally produced sample footage, or check out the endless barrage of Youtube reviews by the world's top film gear review channels that absolutely love these lenses.
