Lens purpose and user
The NiSi Athena Prime 25mm T1.9 is a full-frame cinema prime lens built for professional filmmakers who need consistent image quality and precise manual control. Its PL mount and integrated rear filter holder suit narrative, commercial and documentary productions where workflow speed matters.
Mount and sensor check
Verify that your camera body accepts a PL mount and covers a full-frame image circle before ordering. Ensure the lens’s 300-degree focus rotation matches your follow-focus gear and that the rear filter holder does not interfere with any internal camera filters or shutter mechanisms.
Sustained shooting behaviour
The all-metal barrel dissipates heat during long takes, keeping focus marks stable and preventing focus breathing from shifting the field of view. The constant T1.9 aperture maintains exposure across the focus range, while the rear filter holder allows ND changes without breaking the matte box setup.

Questions about this item
Does the box include the rear filter holder or must I purchase it separately?
The lens ships with the unique rear filter mount already fitted, so ND or polarising filters can be added immediately without extra parts.
Should I choose this 25mm T1.9 prime over other focal lengths in the Athena Prime range?
The 25mm focal length gives a wide-angle view on full-frame sensors, ideal for establishing shots and tight interiors where a longer prime would be too narrow.
What does the T1.9 aperture actually deliver when the lens is mounted on a cinema camera?
T1.9 transmits the same light as f/1.9, enabling clean low-light exposure and a soft bokeh that separates subjects from the background.
