NiSi 35mm Aureus Prime Full Frame T1.4 Cinema Lens (PL Mount)

The NiSi 35mm T1.4 Aureus Prime Cinema Lens (PL Mount) is a full-frame lens designed for professional filmmakers needing sharp, cinematic imagery in a versatile mid-wide focal length. It features a fast T1.4 aperture for low-light performance, 300° focus rotation, and minimal focus breathing, ideal for handheld, gimbal, or narrative shooting.

Low-Light Control and Creative Depth

The fast T1.4 aperture allows for clean shots in dim environments and enables shallow depth of field for subject isolation. The 11-blade iris produces smooth bokeh that supports emotional storytelling and visual separation.

Optical Clarity and Colour Accuracy

Its advanced optical design uses ultra-low dispersion elements to reduce chromatic aberration and distortion. Multi-layer coatings maintain contrast and suppress flare, ensuring crisp detail and consistent colour even at T1.4.

Precision Manual Focusing

The 300° focus rotation provides fine control for manual focus pulls. Minimal focus breathing ensures reframing isn’t required during focus shifts, especially important for high-resolution productions and rack focus shots.

Compact and Durable for Rigging

At just 1300g with an all-metal body, the lens is well-suited for handheld, stabilizer, or drone use. The standard 90mm front diameter and 86mm filter thread allow compatibility with common matte boxes and filters.

Workflow-Friendly Features

Glow-in-the-dark markings and dual swappable focus scales (metres and feet) improve on-set efficiency. Consistent gear positioning across the Aureus Prime range supports fast lens swaps without re-rigging follow-focus systems.

Matched Visual Signature

The 35mm is colour-matched to both the Aureus and Athena Prime series, enabling seamless intercutting between focal lengths with consistent contrast and rendering, critical for multi-lens productions.
