Cinema lenses, done right
-
Full frame, edge to edge
46mm image circle on Athena and Aureus: they cover the full-frame sensor right to the edges.
-
Fast
Athena up to T1.9, Aureus T1.4 at every focal length: shoot in low light and separate your subject with soft bokeh.
-
The frame doesn’t breathe
Focus breathing kept to a minimum: from minimum focus to infinity the framing stays the same. 300° focus ring with fluorescent scales.
-
Gimbal ready
The Athena lenses are matched for weight and size, with the gears in the same position: change focal length without rebalancing.
