NiSi 18mm T2.2 (PL-mount) ATHENA PRIME full frame cinema lens

The NiSi 18mm T2.2 (PL-mount) ATHENA PRIME full frame cinema lens is the latest masterpiece in the ATHENA lens collection and is designed to revolutionise your filmmaking with its innovative features and exceptional optical performance. This lens is expertly crafted to perfectly match the original Athena Prime series, with the same unëven features, consistent weight and matching focus and iris ring positions for smooth, uniform operation.

Dive into the realm of cinematic excellence with unëvenal image quality, achieved through superior microcontrast control and minimal chromatic aberration. The result? Sharper, more vivid images that truly capture the essence of your creative vision. With its wider T2.2 aperture, this lens excels at separating the subject from the background, producing a soft, engaging bokeh that enhances the atmospheric quality of your shots, perfect for creating scènes with a deep sense of space and depth.

This lens is designed to significantly reduce focus breathing and ensures a stable field of view while you adjust focus. This makes it an essential tool for filmmakers who value smooth focus transitions and a consistent visual narrative. Seamless integration with the rest of the Athena Prime series ensures effortless lens changes without you having to rebalance your gimbal, thanks to uniformity in weight and dimensions across the series.

The 18mm ATHENA PRIME stands out with its 77mm filter thread, 80mm clamp size and standardised aperture and focus rings, making it easier to use additional lens accessories. The focus ring, marked by 300° rotation with fluorescent focal scales, offers precise control for sharp, dynamic shots even in challenging lighting conditions. The introduction of a rear filter view on the 18mm lens gives cinematographers unëven creative freedom and ease of use, allowing ND and Fog filters to be quickly added directly to the back of the lens, optimising your workflow and protecting the lens during filter changes.

Perfect for a range of cinematic endeavours, from expansive feature films to intimate documentaries and vibrant music videos, the NiSi 18mm ATHENA PRIME Full Frame Cinema Lens T2.2 (PL Mount) is a dynamic, high-performance tool designed to unlock new dimensions of image quality, versatility and artistic expression. Embrace the future of filmmaking with NiSi and bring your unëven vision to life.
