NiSi ATHENA PRIME 35mm T1.9 Full-Frame Lens (PL Mount)

NiSi ATHENA PRIME 35mm T1.9 Full-Frame Lens (PL Mount) is a 35mm T1.9 ARRI PL mount full-frame cine lens from the NiSi Athena Prime system. It combines the 35mm field of view with the family's geared manual focus and iris workflow for narrative, commercial, documentary, studio, and rental use.

Product Overview

NiSi ATHENA PRIME 35mm T1.9 Full-Frame Lens (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. The 35mm focal length controls field of view, perspective, camera distance, and working space, while the T1.9 rating affects low-light exposure and depth of field. 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.

Key Features

Matched Production Mechanics

The NiSi Athena Prime system is intended for repeatable focus, iris, matte-box, filter, motor, lens-support, and case changes across the family.

How It Compares

Choose 35mm when its perspective and working distance fit the shot. Choose a wider focal length for more environment, a longer focal length for tighter framing and more subject separation, Athena for a compact matched system, or Aureus for T1.4 speed.
