Great quality lens

Amazing lens for the value. Paired it with a C70 and the DJI Lidar system. Love the colors and sharpness of this lens. I was hesitant at first, since the brand is new to the market- but I'm considering another focal length soon.

Budget lens

Great budget lens, currently using with the DJI lidar/focus pro system. Unsure if this is chromatic aberration - subject outlines with pink color were noticeable when filming low-light with blue (240) 300w key.

Nisi Athena 25mm

This lens is cinematic and sharp. I love it. The best budget lens by far. I done shoot short film and music videos for quite a while. And over the years I experienced many lens. The image quality from this lens is amazing. I shout in the red Komodo and the drop in filter turns your red camera into the perfect compact cinematic solution. I recommend this lens

Sharp glass

I've been hunting for some sharp glass for a good while. This small set of primes are just what the production doctor ordered!

An absolute Dream for Modern Cinema!

As an independent owner-operator, I'm always lusting after some of the top-shelf gear that I may never get to own. I've been looking far and wide for a solid cine lens set. I considered IRIX, Dulens, DZO, Meike, and Canon CN-E, but ultimately settled on these for their combination of low price, tiny weight, and bright aperture. At the end of the day, these are fantastic and I'm delighted with the choice. The entire set is sharp, fast, light, and consistent. The coverage is excellent, easily hitting full-frame and beyond with very little vignetting. The small size makes them convenient in a variety of setups, and ultimately they are just a ton of fun to use. The one drawback is how far they protrude behind the PL mount, which makes them incompatible with most drop-in filter systems. However this is a small price to pay in exchange for getting near-ARRI-level performance at 95% lower price and 50% smaller size and weight. Also, the Breakthrough Cinema DFM adapter *does* supposedly work with these, so I'm interested to try that out. In any event, I expect to keep this set for a very, very long time. At this price, the set is absolutely unbeatable. It provides s a very clean, neutral look which can be easily manipulated in post. I might go chase some vintage looks in the future, but I doubt I'll ever get rid of something this reliable, usable, and overall just FUN to shoot with as these. ONE THING TO BE AWARE OF, however. When I first got these lenses, I was shooting on the Canon R5 C. These lenses delivered very similar performance to what I was previously getting out of my native RF glass, what I called my "Mini Cine" kit. Those lenses are also extraordinary and largely overlooked. In fact, if you turn on the automatic corrections in camera, the RF set delivers an almost identical image to the Athenas, just that the RF glass is a little bit softer. In fact, the Athenas are SO sharp that on the Canon R5 C it was a bit too much, and made things look really harsh in some cases. This can be mitigated in post, or even in-camera if you aren't shooting RAW. But there's something in the nature of Canon's sensor or OLPF stack which was making for some unpleasant over-sharpness in some cases. But I recently added a RED V-Raptor to the arsenal, and the Athenas produce a much less harsh image on the Raptor. It's still sharp, but much more smooth and much more pleasant. The point is, just be aware that your camera's sensor can play a part in how the image comes back. You can manipulate things in post, of course, but for those who like to get a good image quickly without much manipulation, make sure to check your sharpness settings etc. Just do some tests, do your homework, and these lenses will reward you. I absolutely love them.

Be at the forefront of cinematic excellence with the NiSi ATHENA PRIME Full Frame Cinema Lens Kit, a professional-grade collection tailored for Sony E-mount cameras. This comprehensive kit includes five high-quality lenses: a 14mm T2.4, 25mm T1.9, 35mm T1.9, 50mm T1.9, and 85mm T1.9, each crafted to deliver exceptional image quality across a range of shooting conditions.

The ATHENA PRIME lenses boast a full-frame coverage with a 46mm imaging circle, ensuring compatibility with a wide array of cameras and sensors. From the expansive vistas captured by the 14mm ultra-wide-angle lens to the intimate detail of the 85mm portrait lens, this kit offers unparalleled versatility for filmmakers and videographers.

Experience the pinnacle of optical performance with lenses designed for maximum micro-contrast control and minimal chromatic aberration. The result is crisp, clear imagery with fine detail that stands out in every frame. The fast apertures of T1.9 across the 25mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm lenses, coupled with the T2.4 on the 14mm, allow for stunning low-light capabilities and a soft, pleasing bokeh that beautifully isolates subjects from their backgrounds.

The ATHENA PRIME lenses are engineered to minimize focus breathing, maintaining a consistent field of view when adjusting focus from the closest distance to infinity. This feature is crucial for maintaining the visual integrity of your shots, particularly during critical focus pulls.

Uniformity across the lens kit is a testament to NiSi's innovative design. Each lens shares a consistent weight and size profile, eliminating the need to rebalance your gimbal when changing lenses on set. The convenience extends to the 77mm filter thread (excluding the 14mm) and matched aperture and focus rings, streamlining the use of additional lens accessories.

For filmmakers who demand precision, the focus ring on each lens offers a 300-degree rotation with fluorescent focal scales, enabling accurate focus pulls even in low-light conditions. This attention to detail ensures that you can capture your vision with the utmost clarity and sharpness.

The NiSi ATHENA PRIME Full Frame Cinema Lens Kit is a durable, high-quality solution for content creators who require a range of focal lengths without compromising on image quality or creative control. Whether you're crafting a feature film, a documentary, or a music video, this lens kit is an indispensable tool for bringing your cinematic aspirations to life.
