NiSi Athena 35mm T/1.9
The NiSi Athena 35mm T1.9 is the lens I’m using on my video setup, and it’s a big part of the look I’ve been enjoying lately. Since it’s a cinema lens, I’m using the PDMovie Live Air 3 to get autofocus, which is honestly really cool and works pretty well. You just have to remember it focuses on whatever is closest to the camera.
Pros
- +Fast T1.9 cinema prime look for video
- +Works well with my autofocus add-on setup
Cons
- -Needs an external autofocus system for AF
- -Autofocus behavior is simple (focuses closest object)
