NiSi Athena Prime 3-Lens Add-on Kit (PL-mount)

NiSi Athena Prime 3-Lens Add-on Kit (PL-mount) is a ARRI PL mount set from the NiSi Athena Prime full-frame cine lens family, giving a production a matched range of focal lengths and mechanical handling. The package is intended for crews that need consistent focus, iris, matte-box, motor, colour, flare, and case workflow across multiple lenses.

Product Overview

NiSi Athena Prime 3-Lens Add-on Kit (PL-mount) belongs to the NiSi Athena Prime full-frame prime family with a 46mm image circle, matched 80mm fronts, 77mm filter threads, and 300-degree focus rotation. A lens set should be chosen by the exact included focal lengths, aperture matching, mount, coverage, total case weight, and whether the range closes gaps in an existing kit. Before production, check sensor recording area, ARRI PL mount, flange setup, rear clearance, lens support, matte box or filters, follow-focus and motor positions, focus scale, minimum working distance, and whether the focal length or set matches the shot list.
