Explore the expansive horizons of cinematic storytelling with the latest release in our Athena lens collection, the NiSi 135mm ATHENA PRIME Full Frame Cinema Lens T2.2 (L Mount). Though it stands out as the largest size in the Athena Prime series, it boasts perfectly aligned characteristics, micro contrast, and color ensuring a seamless experience across the lineup.

This lens is a testament to our commitment to providing filmmakers with tools that offer superior image quality. It features advanced micro-contrast control and minimal chromatic aberration, ensuring that every shot is rendered with crystal-clear detail and vibrant, true-to-life colors. The T2.2 aperture allows for exquisite subject isolation against a beautifully soft, out-of-focus background, enhancing the visual depth and emotional impact of your narrative.

The 135mm ATHENA PRIME is meticulously designed to minimize focus breathing, providing filmmakers with a consistent field of view when adjusting focus. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of your visual storytelling, ensuring smooth, distraction-free transitions that keep your audience engaged. While this lens may be larger, its iris and focus ring positions match the rest of the Athena range, allowing for familiar and efficient operation, especially in fast-paced shooting environments.

The lens includes a 77mm filter thread and an 80mm clamp-on size, consistent with the series, facilitating the use of a wide array of lens accessories. The focus ring, with 300° of rotation and fluorescent focal scales, promises precise and effortless focus adjustments, crucial for capturing those fleeting moments with sharp clarity, even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions.

The Athena Prime Lens Series (L mount) is equipped with a drop in 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.

Ideal for a broad spectrum of film projects, from epic cinematic productions to detailed close-ups in documentaries or evocative music videos, the NiSi 135mm ATHENA PRIME Full Frame Cinema Lens T2.2 (L Mount) redefines the boundaries of creative freedom and image quality.

Daniel J. ★★★★★

Been using this for commercial shoots and the sharpness wide open at T2.2 is incredible, even in the corners. The focus ring has just the right amount of dampening for my gimbal work.

Robert ★★★★★

Finally a 135mm that keeps the telephoto compression while letting me pull focus smoothly even at close distances. The focus ring has just the right amount of resistance for precise racking.

Joshua D. ★★★★★

Shot wide open at T2.2, the bokeh is stunningly smooth and the compression creates such a distinct cinematic look. It’s surprisingly compact for a 135mm, making handheld work a lot easier than I expected.
