ATHENA PRIME LENS Features
The ATHENA lens is full-frame compatible with a 46mm image circle, making it compatible with a wide range of cameras, from compact full-frame mirrorless cameras to professional cinema cameras.
The 23, 35, 50 and 85mm are bright, large-aperture lenses with an aperture of T1.9. The soft bokeh effect makes the subject stand out beautifully against the beautiful background (the 14mm is T2.4, the 18mm and 135mm are T2.2).
These lenses take unprecedented image quality in terms of the expression of delicate details and shadow transitions.
Regardless of focal length or aperture settings, the lens is designed so that the change in field of view when focusing is extremely small, from the minimum shooting distance to infinity.
Carefully adjusted optical design virtually eliminates chromatic aberration. The ATHENA lens is full-frame compatible, with a 46mm image circle, covering a wide range of focal lengths from 14mm ultra-wide angle to 85mm portrait and 135mm telephoto, making it suitable for any shooting scene.
Most NiSi Athena Prime lenses are the same weight and size (only the 135mm is 980g), so there is no need to rebalance the gimbal when switching lenses.
The lens diameter and aperture ring position are the same, and lens accessories such as filters and focus gears can be used in common. The focus ring is engraved with a fluorescent focal length scale for fine focus pull and has a rotation angle of 300°.
A wide range of accessories
A wide range of accessories for Athena Prime, including mounts for various lens formats, dedicated filters, and various other filters, will further expand your creativity.
Athena Prime is compatible with PL mount, Canon RF mount, Sony E mount, Fujifilm G mount, and Leica L mount. Mount adapters allow it to be used with a wide range of cameras.
When using the NiSi PL-DX adapter with the DJI Ronin 4D, there is no need to rebalance when switching from 14mm to 85mm Athena PL lenses.
