Product Overview

Introducing the NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME Full Frame Cinema Lens T2.4 (E Mount). This lens is designed with maximum micro-contrast control and ultra-low chromatic aberration, providing unparalleled image quality with finer image details. With a large aperture of T2.4 and soft bokeh, this lens offers beautiful background separation, making it ideal for capturing stunning images and videos.

The Athena Prime Lens Series (E mount) is equipped with a rear filter mount, which provides a more flexible workflow and creative control for filmmaking. Filmmakers can easily add ND filters, polarizers, or other filters to achieve their desired look without having to attach filters to the front of the lens. This feature also makes it easier to swap filters quickly and efficiently, saving time and reducing the risk of lens damage.

The lens has been designed to minimise focus breathing, ensuring that the change in field of view when adjusting focus from the minimum focus distance to infinity is extremely small. This feature is particularly important for filmmakers who need to maintain a consistent field of view when focusing on their subject. With the Athena Prime Series lens, filmmakers can achieve precise focus pulls and maintain a consistent look throughout their shots.

In addition, the NiSi Athena Prime 14mm lens is matched in weight and size with other lenses in the series, eliminating the need for rebalancing on a gimbal when switching between lenses. The matched aperture and focus rings across the range also make using lens accessories such as focus gears easy. The focus ring features 300° of rotation with fluorescent focal scales for precise focus pulls, making it easier for filmmakers to achieve their desired focus.

The NiSi ATHENA PRIME Full Frame Cinema Lens with a 14mm T2.4 focal length (E Mount) is a versatile and high-quality lens that offers unparalleled image quality, flexibility, and creative control for filmmakers. Whether you’re shooting a feature film or a music video, the Athena Prime Series will help you easily achieve your creative vision.

FAQs

What are the advantages of the T2.4 aperture in the NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME lens?

The T2.4 aperture allows for excellent low-light performance, enabling filmmakers to capture bright, clear images even in challenging lighting conditions. Additionally, this wide aperture contributes to a shallow depth of field, producing soft bokeh that beautifully separates the subject from the background, enhancing the overall cinematic quality of the footage.

How does the rear filter mount enhance the workflow for filmmakers?

The rear filter mount provides filmmakers with a convenient way to use various filters, such as ND or polarising filters, without the need to attach them to the front of the lens. This allows for quicker filter swaps during shoots, reducing downtime and the potential for lens damage. It also enables more creative control over the image without the hassle of front filter adjustments.

What does focus breathing mean, and how does this lens minimise it?

Focus breathing refers to the change in the field of view that occurs when the focus is adjusted, which can be distracting in video production. The NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME lens has been engineered to minimise focus breathing, ensuring that the framing remains consistent when adjusting focus from close to distant subjects, thus maintaining the integrity of your shots and allowing for smoother focus transitions.

Can this lens be used for both photography and videography?

While the NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME lens is specifically designed for cinema and videography with features like focus breathing minimisation and a drop-in filter mount, it can also be used for photography. Its impressive image quality, wide aperture, and micro-contrast control make it suitable for capturing stunning still images, particularly in landscape and architectural photography.

How does the matched size and weight with other NiSi Athena lenses benefit users?

Having a consistent size and weight across the Athena lens series means that filmmakers can switch between different lenses without needing to rebalance their gimbal or stabiliser setup. This not only saves time during production but also ensures that the camera handling remains smooth and efficient, allowing for a more seamless shooting experience.

What makes the fluorescent focal scales on the focus ring beneficial for filmmakers?

The fluorescent focal scales on the focus ring enhance visibility in low-light situations, allowing filmmakers to easily read the focal distances when making adjustments. This feature is particularly useful for precise focus pulls, ensuring that the intended focus point is consistently achieved and maintained throughout the shooting process.

What types of projects is this lens best suited for?

The NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME lens is ideal for a range of projects, including feature films, documentaries, music videos, and more. Its wide focal length, exceptional low-light performance, and beautiful background separation make it particularly well-suited for capturing expansive landscapes, dramatic scenes, and immersive storytelling, giving filmmakers the tools they need to realise their creative vision.
