NiSi Athena Prime 85mm T1.9 (PL-Mount)

Professional Portrait Performance: NiSi Athena Prime 85mm T1.9

The NiSi Athena Prime 85mm T1.9 is a high-performance portrait-length cinema lens designed for full-frame PL-mount systems. As part of the Athena Prime series, this lens delivers exceptional image quality with a focus on maximal micro-contrast control and ultra-low chromatic aberration, ensuring every detail is captured with clinical precision and cinematic character.

Superior Optics and Bokeh

With a fast T1.9 maximum aperture, the 85mm Athena Prime excels in low-light environments and provides a shallow depth of field. The lens is engineered to produce soft, natural bokeh, creating beautiful background separation that is essential for professional portraiture and narrative filmmaking. The 46mm imaging circle ensures full coverage for modern full-frame sensors.

Seamless Workflow and Consistency

Efficiency on set is a priority. All lenses in the NiSi Athena series are matched in weight and size, allowing for rapid lens changes without the need to rebalance gimbals or stabilizers. The standardized 77mm filter thread and uniform gear positions for aperture and focus rings make it easy to swap accessories like matte boxes and follow focus systems.
