Designed for consistent sharpness, contrast, and color fidelity, the NiSi AUREUS PRIME 35mm T1.4 is a cinema lens built for ARRI PL-mount systems. It produces clean, high-resolution imagery that integrates seamlessly into digital post-production workflows. The 11-blade iris offers beautifully rounded bokeh and natural background separation, keeping subjects sharply in focus. With minimal focus breathing and a 300° focus throw, the AUREUS PRIME allows for precise control over depth and focus for visually compelling compositions.
Featuring an ultrafast T1.4 maximum aperture and glow-in-the-dark markings, the lens excels in low-light conditions. Its ultra-low dispersion elements and advanced coatings minimize chromatic aberration, distortion, color fringing, flaring, and ghosting, maintaining reliable color rendering and contrast. The lens sports a 90mm front outside diameter, an 86mm front filter thread, and a built-in rear filter holder, allowing the integration of lightweight filtration close to the camera body for balance-dependent setups.
The AUREUS PRIME line features uniform housing, weight, and gear positioning, allowing each focal length to be swapped without needing stabilizer rebalancing or camera rig adjustment. They also share similar optical and tonal characteristics with the NiSi ATHENA PRIME lens line, allowing their incorporation into existing lens sets.
