Capture high-quality, longer images using a full-frame camera with a Canon RF mount and the NiSi ATHENA PRIME 135mm T2.2 Full-Frame Lens. The lens features micro-contrast control, soft bokeh for beautiful background separation, and low chromatic aberration to highlight image details without distortion. It has a maximum aperture of T2.2 and an 80mm front diameter with minimal focus breathing.

The focus ring is capable of rotating 300° for intuitive control. Markings on the lens are fluorescent and in both feet and meters. The lens has a 46mm image circle to capture as many details as possible. A drop-in filter mount places your lens filters of choice in between your camera sensor and lens body.

[77 mm] Incredible lenses that punch way above their weight class! Blown away by the build quality and image quality. The only thing I'd change is adding a longer lens! Like a 110mm or 135 5

[77 mm] B&H as usual great service. Lens is a keeper. Using on BMP 4k. Awesome image 5

Raymond	01/09/2024
[Full Frame] Excellent quality feel and the sharpness is outstanding. Works well with the Small Rig Mini Matte Box system and Follow Focus. The price is a plus too.. 5

[T2.2] Been ulsing the drop in black mist filters on Athena Cine lenses, and they're awesome. 5

[2.9 lb] These lenses are phenomenal for the cost. If you've worked with a variety of the more budget-friendly cine lenses, you'll tell the difference as soon as you hold this lens, but then you'll be blown away as soon as you see it through the monitor. I've been putting my gfx100ii with one of these lenses in the hands of my filmmaker friends and asking for first impressions and watching their response echo my own says it all. 5

[T2.2] I got this NiSi lens with a few others to have in my kit for commercial and branded content work. The image is super clean and neutral which gives a lot of flexibility in the type of work I can do with it - whether corporate or something more artistic. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a versatile lens! 5

Andrei	02/07/2024
[Canon RF] Recently got these lenses and have used them for almost two months across various projects, from commercials in New York to a short film in Miami. Here's what stood out: - Exceptional build quality. - Impressive brightness with an aperture of 1.9, resulting in beautiful bokeh. - Consistent weight across the lenses – a real game changer when working with gimbals. - Comes with a good quality practical carrying case for five essential lenses. - Top-notch optical performance: no focus breathing noticed, acceptable distortion. For indie filmmakers, these are a top pick. Highly recommended. 5

[77 mm] Fits great with the Blazar Remus Anamorphic lenses with the R5C! Have had no issues with the mount seizing to the lens like I have seen in one or two reviews. I think as long as you don’t over tighten it you are good. Everything fits snug too so no play between the lens and the adapter or the camera. It even has a waterproof seal between the camera and adapter which is cool. Would recommend if you don’t need autofocus or ND. 5

[2.9 lb] My second Meike MFT lens, possibly even better than the first. Nice solid lens. Bokeh is smooth, but unobtrusive, as seen in the two photos from a Panasonic GH5S, one with focus point @ 2.5 meters, the other at 5 meters. Focus scales seem to be more accurate than the Zeiss CP 2 prime I've had for years. 5

KS Pete	03/06/2024
[77 mm] This is a really well constructed lens. It feels like it's worth every penny. The optics are crystal clear, no distortion of any kind that I can detect. The giant focus ring turns and turns - very nice for pulling focus. On the downside, at longer distances with the aperature wide open, the depth of field is razor thin, and the focus ring has increasingly less travel between steps at further distances. I realize this is physics, but I was personally surprised by how touchy focus is at 40-50' in lower light situations. 5
