NiSi Cine Lens Athena Prime Rewind 85mm T1.9 PL-Mount – Vintage Character with Modern Control

Discover the amazing NiSi Cine Lens Athena Prime Rewind 85mm T1.9 PL-Mount, a lens that combines vintage aesthetics with modern technology. This lens is perfect for filmmakers and photographers who want to recreate the classic film feel without having to use old lenses. With a unique optical design, the Athena Rewind offers an authentic vintage look, making it an indispensable tool for creative projects.

Premium Optical Design

NiSi Athena Rewind features a thoughtful optical design that simulates the characteristics of lenses from the golden age of cinema. This design includes enhanced aberrations and a softer image quality at wide apertures. The result is a cinematic feel reminiscent of classic films, allowing filmmakers to create visually striking scenes.

Adjustable Aperture for Creative Possibilities

The aperture is adjustable, giving filmmakers the ability to control the vintage character that the lens provides. At T1.9, the vintage style is at its strongest, gradually diminishing up to T2.8, where a balanced sweet spot is reached. When the aperture is set to T5.6–T8, the lens can almost act like a modern cine lens, providing additional creative freedom.

Characteristic Bubble Bokeh and Warm Reflections

NiSi Athena Rewind produces a characteristic bubble bokeh, meaning that the out-of-focus areas have bright edges and a darker center. This effect is particularly pronounced at wide apertures, creating a soft and dreamy background. The intensity of reflections is also higher than that of the standard Athena Prime, with a warm color tone that adds a cinematic character to scenes with backlighting.

Easy Integration and Creative Flexibility

The color rendition of NiSi Athena Rewind closely matches that of the standard Athena Prime, making it easy to cut together or mix these lenses on set without needing to color correct in post-production. Additionally, the lens features a rear filter mount, allowing for quick changes of gels and filters without disturbing the front of the lens, preserving a smooth workflow.
