NiSi Athena Filters | Rear PL-Mount Filters

Unlock the Full Potential of Your Cinematography with the NiSi ATHENA Rear PL Filters

Key Features FS ND filters

Superior Light Management: Our FS ND filter reduces light entering your lens by precise stops, allowing for slower shutter speeds and larger apertures. This control is ideal for achieving cinematic blur in moving subjects and greater depth of field, even in challenging bright conditions.
Full Spectrum Capability: Designed to maintain fidelity across the color spectrum, this filter ensures no color shift disrupts the authenticity of your captured images, delivering true-to-life results that require minimal post-processing.

Key Features Clear Filter

Optimal Lens Protection: The ATHENA Clear Filter offers superior protection for your lens against external elements, ensuring your lens remains in pristine condition without affecting the image quality.
Un-compromised Clarity: Designed to be ultra-clear, this filter does not alter the color, intensity, or spectrum of the light passing through, ensuring your images retain their true fidelity and sharpness under all shooting conditions.

Key Features Black Mist Filters

Cinematic Softening Effect: The ATHENA Black Mist filter gently softens sharp edges and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes, imparting a dream-like, filmic quality to your footage. This subtle diffusion creates a magical glow around light sources and a slight halo effect, perfect for moody scenes and soft-lit environments.
Enhanced Light Diffusion: This filter diffuses strong light without affecting the overall color balance of the scene, enabling greater control over ambient lighting conditions and enhancing visual depth without any color shift.

Key Features UV/IR Cut

Advanced UV and IR Filtration: This filter effectively blocks both UV and IR wavelengths, ensuring that only the visible light spectrum reaches your camera sensor. This precision helps prevent the common issues of haze and color shifts caused by ultraviolet light and the unwanted warmth from infrared, providing clear and accurate images.
Enhanced Image Quality: By cutting out UV and IR light, the filter ensures the purity of the colours captured, enhancing the authenticity and vibrancy of your scenes. This results in visuals that require minimal post-processing for color correction, saving time and preserving the original artistry of your footage.

Custom-Fit for ATHENA PL Lenses:
Tailored specifically for seamless compatibility with NiSi ATHENA PL Mount Lenses, this rear-mounted filter maintains optimal alignment and image quality.

Included Suction Cap Tool:
The filter comes with a suction cap tool, allowing for quick and easy filter changes directly on the lens without leaving fingerprints, ensuring your lens remains pristine.

Built to Last:
Crafted from premium optical materials, the filter is designed to withstand the rigours of professional use. It features Multi Ti Nano coating with low reflection and anti-scratch resistance.

If you’re looking for high-quality lenses that can help you achieve professional-level photography and videography, the NiSi Athena Prime Lens Series is definitely worth considering.

NiSi quality at this price?

The production of a lens is extremely complex: many people, suppliers and skills are involved (much more than a filter, for example.) The simplest way to create a new product is to use third party knowledge as much as possible and then apply a brand and mark-up. NiSi, on the other hand, has once again chosen a different path by managing the project internally as much as possible. This allows us to deliver a great advantage to the customer: reduced cost.

The more complex the product, the more we will be able to save resources by managing it internally. This involves above average development times, but the results are of the quality that distinguishes NiSi products.

For the NiSi Athena Cine Prime Lenses, we focused on what’s really important: the glass, the metal and as few electronics as possible. Although there are dozens of “smart” lenses available today, we believe that the fundamental aspects are the ones to invest in as they are the ones that make a product of superior quality; optical quality, construction accuracy and ease of use. Not using autofocus, stabilisation and other electronic aids have allowed us to offer a price that we believe is proportionate and the quality of lens grade optical glass is the same that existing NiSi customers have become accustomed to in our filters. As ever, our ultimate goal is delivering our customers’ professional products at reasonable prices.

Transparency and trust are among our founding values, and we are always available to answer your questions on any aspect of our passion for photography.
