NISI Athena Tuned Cine Lens Set PL-Mount

NiSi Athena Tuned Cine Lens Set

Crafted with precision, the Athena Tuned lenses deliver visuals that evoke a classic cinematic feel.

The TUNED lenses are meticulously crafted to emulate the aesthetics of vintage cinema lenses that have inspired us. The lower contrast and blooming highlights soften the image, providing a nostalgic and timeless quality to your footage. This characteristic is especially beneficial for narrative storytelling, where mood and atmosphere are paramount.

Unique Lens Coatings for Characterful Flares

One of the standout features of the TUNED series is the specially formulated lens coatings. These coatings are designed to interact with light in a way that produces flares with abundant character. The result is a cinematic flair that enhances storytelling by adding visual interest and depth to your images.

Redesigned Optical Elements for Softer Bokeh

The lenses incorporate a tuned element design and different coatings compared to the standard Athena series.

This redesign results in softer bokeh, allowing for smooth and creamy out-of-focus areas.

The subtle blue/purple flares add an extra layer of uniqueness, making your visuals stand out.

Vintage Character Without the Drawbacks

The Athena TUNED lenses deliver the sought-after unique aesthetics—like lower contrast and blooming highlights - without the common issues associated with classic lenses, such as difficult-to-control flares and focus breathing.

This means you can achieve the unique look you desire while maintaining modern reliability and ease of use.

Built for Professional Cinematography

Each Athena Tuned lens is engineered for a streamlined filming experience, featuring very minimal focus breathing and a matched weight and size across the set.

This compatibility makes it easy to switch lenses on gimbals or stabilizers without the hassle of rebalancing.

The series includes five lenses covering a versatile range of focal lengths: 14mm T2.4, 25mm T1.9, 35mm T1.9, 50mm T1.9 and 85mm T1.9

Athena Tuned is designed with a silver barrel finish that not only adds to its aesthetic appeal but improves heat resistance - critical for maintaining optical performance in varied shooting conditions.

A Collectible for Cinematographers

As a limited edition series, the Athena Tuned lenses are as much a collector’s item as they are a filmmaking tool. Each set comes with a certificate of authenticity, underscoring its exclusive place in the world of cinema optics.

Background on the Athena Prime Series

The Athena Tuned lenses are a follow-up to the original Athena Primes, which launched in 2023 and quickly became a popular choice among filmmakers worldwide. Known for sharp clarity and accessible pricing, the original Athena Primes established NiSi’s reputation in cinema optics. The Tuned series builds on that foundation, introducing elements inspired by classic cinema for filmmakers seeking a nostalgic, stylized aesthetic.
