Expertly crafted to align perfectly with the original ATHENA Prime series, this lens maintains the same unparalleled characteristics, consistent weight, and matching focus and iris ring positions for seamless and unified operation, providing the ultimate experience for professional filmmakers.
Dive into the realm of cinematic excellence with unmatched image quality, achieved through superior micro-contrast control and minimal chromatic aberration. The outcome? Sharper, more vivid images that truly capture the essence of your creative vision.

The seamless integration with the rest of the ATHENA Prime series ensures effortless lens swaps without the need to rebalance your gimbal, thanks to the uniformity in weight and dimensions across the lineup.
The 18mm ATHENA Prime stands out with its 77mm filter thread, 80mm clamp-on size, and standardised aperture and focus rings, enhancing the ease of using additional lens accessories. Its focus ring, marked by 300° of rotation with fluorescent focal scales, offers precise control for sharp, dynamic captures, even in challenging lighting situations. The introduction of a rear filter mount on the 18mm lens grants filmmakers unparalleled creative freedom and ease of use, allowing for the swift addition of ND and Mist filters directly to the lens's rear, optimising your workflow and safeguarding the lens during filter changes.
Perfect for an array of cinematic endeavors, from expansive feature films to intimate documentaries and vibrant music videos, the NiSi 18mm ATHENA Prime Full Frame Cinema Lens T2.2 is a dynamic, high-caliber instrument designed to unlock new dimensions of image quality, versatility, and artistic expression.
