NiSi Cine Lens Set Athena Prime Rewind PL-Mount – Vintage Feel with Modern Control

Experience the unique combination of vintage aesthetics and modern technology with the NiSi Cine Lens Set Athena Prime Rewind. This lens set is designed for filmmakers who want to capture the classic feel of cinema's golden era without relying on old lenses. Perfect for both professional and amateur filmmakers, this set offers a range of creative possibilities to realize your visions.

Vintage Character with Adjustable Style

The NiSi Athena Rewind lenses feature a thoughtful optical design that simulates the characteristics of a vintage look, including enhanced aberrations and a softness that provides an authentic feel. At T1.9, the lens achieves its strongest vintage character, while it gradually becomes more modern at T2.8. At T5.6–T8, the lens behaves almost like a standard cine lens, giving cinematographers the freedom to experiment with style and expression.

Characteristic Bubble Bokeh and Warm Reflections

With large apertures, the NiSi Athena Rewind produces a unique bubble bokeh with bright edges and darker centers in the out-of-focus areas. This is particularly pronounced at the 35 mm and 50 mm focal lengths. The intensity of reflections is significantly higher than that of the standard Athena Prime, providing a warm color tone that adds a cinematic character to scenes with backlighting. The color reproduction is also carefully matched to the standard Athena Prime, making it easy to cut together footage from both sets without color correction in post-production.

Comprehensive Focal Length Range and Uniform Design

This set consists of five lenses that cover a wide focal length range from 14 mm ultra-wide angle to 85 mm portrait, providing full-frame coverage with an image circle of 46 mm. The uniform weight and size of all lenses allow for seamless lens changes without the need for rebalancing the gimbal or rig adjustments, saving time during shoots. Additionally, each lens features a 300° focus ring with fluorescent scales for precise focusing even in low light.
