NiSi AUREUS Prime 5-Lens Kit Overview

Engineered for consistent sharpness, contrast, and color reproduction, the NiSi AUREUS PRIME T1.4 5-Lens Kit is an ARRI PL-mount cinema lens kit that delivers clean images, ideal for digital post-production workflows. Each lens contains an 11-blade iris that creates natural background blur and smooth, rounded bokeh while ensuring a crystal-clear view of the subject in focus. With minimal focus breathing and 300° focus throw rotation, the AUREUS PRIME 5-lens kit delivers precise depth control for dynamic compositions.

Featuring ultrafast T1.4 maximum apertures and glow-in-the-dark markings, the lenses excel in low-light conditions. Their ultra-low dispersion elements and advanced coatings minimize chromatic aberration, distortion, color fringing, flaring, and ghosting, maintaining reliable color rendering and contrast. Each lens sports a 90mm front outside diameter, an 86mm front filter thread, and a built-in rear filter holder, allowing the integration of lightweight filtration close to the camera body for balance-dependent setups.

The AUREUS PRIME line features uniform housing, weight, and gear positioning, allowing each focal length to be swapped without needing stabilizer rebalancing or camera rig adjustment. They also share similar optical and tonal characteristics with the NiSi ATHENA PRIME lens line, allowing their incorporation into existing lens sets.
