The NiSi AUREUS PRIME T1.4 Cinema 5-Lens Kit (ARRI PL) is a meticulously engineered set of five full-frame prime lenses designed for the demands of modern cinematography. This kit, featuring 18mm, 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm focal lengths, offers an exceptional combination of ultra-fast T1.4 apertures, stunning optical clarity, and consistent mechanical performance, all housed in robust ARRI PL mounts.
Unleash the Power of T1.4 for Low Light and Shallow Depth of Field:
Each lens in the AUREUS PRIME kit boasts a super-fast T1.4 maximum aperture. This empowers filmmakers to excel in challenging low-light conditions, capturing clean and vibrant images even when illumination is minimal. The wide aperture also provides exceptional control over depth of field, allowing for beautifully smooth and cinematic bokeh that isolates subjects with artistry and creates a truly immersive visual experience.
Full-Frame Coverage with Exceptional Edge-to-Edge Sharpness:
Designed for full-frame cinema cameras, the AUREUS PRIME lenses provide a 46mm image circle, ensuring complete coverage without vignetting and maintaining consistent sharpness across the entire frame. From wide establishing shots to intimate close-ups, these lenses deliver exceptional resolution and detail from the center to the very edges of your image, even when shooting wide open at T1.4.
Virtually Zero Focus Breathing for Seamless Focus Pulls:
One of the standout features of the AUREUS PRIME series is its virtually zero focus breathing. This critical design element ensures that your composition remains stable and consistent throughout focus transitions, eliminating distracting shifts in the field of view. This allows for smooth and precise focus pulls, enhancing the cinematic quality of your storytelling.
Superior Optical Design for Minimal Aberrations and Distortion:
The AUREUS PRIME lenses employ advanced optical designs with ultra-low dispersion elements and sophisticated coatings. This meticulous engineering effectively minimizes chromatic aberration, distortion, and color fringing, resulting in clean, high-contrast images with accurate and natural color reproduction. Even at their widest apertures, these lenses maintain exceptional clarity and minimize unwanted optical artifacts.
Consistent Build and Mechanics for Professional Workflow:
The entire AUREUS PRIME lens set shares a consistent build quality, with uniform 90mm front diameters and matched gear positions for focus and iris rings. This thoughtful design allows for quick and seamless lens swaps on set without requiring significant adjustments to your matte box, follow focus, or other rigging accessories. The lenses also feature a smooth 300-degree focus rotation for precise and repeatable focus control.
Professional ARRI PL Mount for Secure and Reliable Connection:
Each lens in the kit features a robust ARRI PL mount, ensuring a secure and industry-standard connection to a wide range of professional cinema cameras. The PL mount’s reliability is essential for demanding production environments, providing peace of mind that your lenses will perform consistently.
Additional Features for Enhanced Creativity and Usability:
- 11-Blade Iris: Delivers beautifully smooth and rounded bokeh for pleasing out-of-focus areas.
- Neutral and Accurate Color Reproduction: Ensures seamless color matching across different lenses in the set and with other compatible cinema lenses.
- Durable, Lightweight Metal Construction: Provides the robustness needed for professional use while remaining manageable for various shooting setups, including handheld and gimbal work.
- Interchangeable Rear Filter System: A built-in rear filter holder allows for the convenient use of ND, diffusion, or other filters close to the sensor, offering creative flexibility without the need for large front-mounted filters.
- User-Changeable Focus Scales (Feet or Meters): The lenses come with interchangeable focus scales, allowing operators to easily switch between feet and meter markings based on their preference.
- Glow-in-the-Dark Markings: Enhance visibility of focus and iris markings in low-light shooting conditions.
