NiSi ATHENA PRIME Rewind T1.9/T2.4 Full-Frame 5-Lens Kit (ARRI PL)

The NiSi ATHENA PRIME Rewind T1.9/T2.4 Full-Frame 5-Lens Kit (ARRI PL) includes five versatile focal lengths, each designed to deliver both vintage-inspired character and modern, clean rendering within the same lens. Wide-open apertures produce distinctive bubble bokeh, warm flares, and enhanced background blur with subtle highlight halos, while stopping down gradually reduces stylization for a more neutral, contemporary image.

Color reproduction is matched to standard ATHENA PRIME lenses, allowing cinematographers to seamlessly intercut footage between the Rewind series and the original lineup for consistent visual continuity. The complete set is housed in a durable hard case for secure storage and convenient transport between production locations.

Selectable Vintage Characteristics

The vintage characteristics produced with a wide open T1.9 aperture include a warm look, amplified aberrations, softened resolution, and increased blur with highlight halos. Stop down the lens to T2.8 for a balanced look or down to T5.6 or T8 for a cleaner, more modern appearance. Barrel distortion is preserved, enhancing the organic, analogue look of a vintage lens.

Signature Bokeh

Add a distinctive look to your background by stopping down to a wide aperture to produce "bubble" bokeh with bright edges and darker centers. This effect is most noticeable with the 35 and 50mm Rewind lenses and can be controlled to fade around T4.0.

Intense Flaring

The ATHENA Rewind primes produce more intense flaring than the standard ATHENA series, adding a sense of energy and atmosphere to direct light sources, practical lights, and backlit scenes.

Consistent Color and Optical Quality

Unlike the Tuned ATHENA primes, the Rewind lenses preserve a natural look with neutral colors, letting you intercut footage with standard ATHENA primes. Each lens in the Rewind series produces minimal breathing and maintains a similar level of chromatic aberrations as the standard ATHENA primes.

Rear Filter

The rear filter mount lets you quickly swap out a gel or filter without spending time to adjust a matte box at the front of the lens.

Cine-Style Capture

• 300° ring rotation for precise focusing.
• Standard 0.8 MOD focus and aperture rings for use with follow focus systems.
