Product Overview

Introducing the NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME Full Frame Cinema Lens T2.4 (RF 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 (RF 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 (RF 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 advantages does the T2.4 aperture provide for filmmakers using the NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME lens?

The T2.4 aperture allows for a large amount of light to enter the lens, which is particularly beneficial in low-light conditions. This enables filmmakers to shoot in environments where traditional lenses may struggle to perform. Additionally, the wide aperture contributes to a shallow depth of field, creating beautiful background separation and a soft bokeh effect that enhances the visual appeal of the footage.

How does the rear filter mount feature improve workflow for filmmakers?

The rear filter mount of the NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME lens allows filmmakers to easily insert and swap filters like ND or polarizers without attaching them to the front of the lens. This not only saves time during shoots but also reduces the risk of damaging the lens front element. The ability to quickly change filters while maintaining a clean lens exterior ensures that filmmakers can adapt to changing lighting conditions seamlessly.

What is focus breathing and how does this lens address it?

Focus breathing refers to the change in the field of view that occurs when adjusting focus from one distance to another. The NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME lens is designed to minimise focus breathing, which is crucial for maintaining a consistent composition during focus pulls. This feature is particularly important for narrative filmmaking, where the viewer's attention should remain focused on the subject without any distracting shifts in framing.

Can the NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME lens be used effectively on gimbals?

Yes, the lens is matched in weight and size with other lenses in the NiSi Athena series, which eliminates the need for rebalancing when switching between lenses on a gimbal. This compatibility allows filmmakers to maintain smooth and stable shots without the hassle of adjusting the gimbal settings, making it easier to achieve consistent results during shoots.

What types of projects are best suited for the NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME lens?

The NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME lens is highly versatile and is ideal for a range of filmmaking projects, including feature films, documentaries, and music videos. Its wide focal length allows for expansive landscapes, tight interiors, and dynamic action shots. The high-quality optics and creative control features make it suitable for professional filmmakers looking to achieve high production values.

How does the lens's design enhance image quality?

The NiSi 14mm ATHENA PRIME lens is engineered with maximum micro-contrast control and ultra-low chromatic aberration, which significantly enhances image quality. This design ensures that images maintain sharpness and detail, with accurate colour reproduction and minimal distortion. Filmmakers can expect rich, vibrant visuals that stand out in their projects.

What are the benefits of the 300° focus ring rotation?

The 300° rotation of the focus ring provides filmmakers with precise control over focus adjustments, allowing for smoother and more accurate focus pulls. The fluorescent focal scales enhance visibility in various lighting conditions, making it easier to achieve the desired focus point. This level of control is essential for narrative storytelling, where depth of focus can greatly impact the emotional tone of a scene.
