Definitely appreciate the approach (if true) to have them look more neutral and clean. You can always add filtration, color, vignetting or even grime and abberations etc. in post or utilizing filters. I’m not a fan of all those “vintage look” budget lenses, which often is just sugar-coding for “not very well corrected”. I get it, those can look warm and fuzzy and cool but you’re stuck with that look. If you need a clean an modern look for a project and have to rent lenses because your own set of glass looks too “lomo” - that’s no bueno… Have been waiting to pull the trigger on an affordable small prime set (tired of waiting for IRIX to complete their line-up). Looking forward to these ones…
@@FabledFew Yeah, bummer. Held on to the 150mm Macro for a while. Bought it for a special project but sold it a few weeks ago cause I don't see myself on the IRIX road in the future. But I also don't think they were ever meant to color-match each other. I might be wrong though...
I'm impressed. It really looks like they spend time to figure out what features a set of cinema lenses need and built exactly that. And the name is very cool, wondering if it's named after the city or the goddess. Also wondering if they will release these in L-mount somewhere down the road.
how many filsters comes with the lense... a ND Variable for example?... I would love to try on my Canon R5c I own a Meike 50mm T2.1 FF Canon RF... looking to get a 35mm
Interesting product. And extremely cheap of course due to paying their staff nothing in China. I think Nisi is doing a good job, I just hope they don't start making proprietary products that only work in their ecosystem only.
I’d love to get my hands on the 5 lens RF set. Only think that could make them better is if there were electronic contacts to communicate metadata. These look sweet!
Wish they put in 16 aperture blades for rounder bokeh just like the DZOfilm vespid, but it's just my personal preference. I guess I'll stick to the vespids.
Amazing that micro contrast can be controlled using their filters and the drop in filter idea is also good (everything can be uniform from the same brand).
I'm probably the only one who hate that build in ND on the lens, not because that I don't think the idea is good. But NISI assumes that anyone who uses this lenses will only use this lenses. Imagine buying filters that cannot be used for your other lenses? This design make the lenses a little longer for no purpose to someone like me who uses either an internal ND or front filter for different lenses. As a closed system it's might be good, jury still not out yet. But i guess for the price they are charge, we can't complain much.
You dont have to use the drop in filters, they were just using empty space for more filter options, they cant make the e mount and rf mount version shorter due to the lens is desiged for pl mount which has a longer flange distance.
@@_rhapsodist that makes that price absolutely awesome. I'm literally waiting on the irix 45mm cine lense to come in from adorama. The main reason I picked them is because of the almost non-existent focus breathing.
There's like zero focus breathing, I was at the booth, its honestly odd how amazing the lens are, I feel like these will either become a new standard or its a hoax, because they were incredible.
No its not, there won't be any new EF lens made by any high end companies. Canon has moved on to RF so don't expect any new cameras to be EF mount. I think the Bmpcc will be hit the hardest by this.
10 aperture blades for a modern cine lens in 2023?? Why? Might as well go for an autofocus photography lens apart from the focus breathing but we now have focus breathing compensation.

I thought I was the only one tired of waiting for IRIX. It really should've been complete by now.

Yeah Irix is taking forever they just need an 85mm and it’s more complete
Preach, brother. Preach.
True neutrality in image quality is king. I hope they are telling the truth here.
Price is too high, I would rather buy modern lenses with autofocus. Sigma and tamron for the win, price wise.
Used nisi as a Landscape photographer and videographer. Very happy with the quality, so it will be exciting to see how these performe👍
It will be interesting to do a comparison between these lenses and the IRIX Cine lens.
I hope Nisi will offer a case with space for two more lenses (the18mm and 105mm)
These look and sound really impressive, especially at this price! Looking forward to seeing more test shots.
These sound very promising, can’t wait to see sample footage.

Why L mount is always left behind 😢
Nisi is getting verter every year, I’ll get the set
I had a question about these Athena lenses are they plastic or metal barrels
Metal
*bo-kāy
Jus' membah!
I checked these out. Great lenses. And amazing focus breathing control.
Are the lenses aluminum housings or plastic?
@@clintchilders all metal. Solid beasts. In a good way

Holy hell. Think I just found my future set for my Komodo.
Now you need something to de-tune these lenses to make them more cinematic...
@@Superbustr use the Black Mist filters.
Interesting product. And extremely cheap of course due to paying their staff nothing in China. I think Nisi is doing a good job, I just hope they don't start making proprietary products that only work in their ecosystem only.
Like that it’s not just a Vespid clone approach. Looking forward to what these can pull off
Really impressive. Looking forward to the image coming out of these lenses.
Garantized buy over here just the lens I'd been waiting for
I’d love to get my hands on the 5 lens RF set. Only think that could make them better is if there were electronic contacts to communicate metadata. These look sweet!
EF mount would be nice. PL is fine, but not as useful for people.
I like the Signature Prime inspiration

Drop in vnd fr? That really cool ! And fair price point too
Amazing that micro contrast can be controlled using their filters and the drop in filter idea is also good (everything can be uniform from the same brand).
I’m going to have rent and try these out.
How can I buy them.

No EF mount?
Lookout DZO.
Did he ask about focus breathing? That's the one thing always lacking in the cheaper lenses.
someone commented above that they are quite well corrected for breathing

super interested in these!
Glad you like them!
