Arri Signature & NiSi Athena Lens Comparison

After picking up a set of NiSi Athena primes when they first became available I came across an online review which called them "mini Signature Primes" or something like that and I thought "no way - don't beleive it". So with some downtime around the holidays in 2023(!) I shot a little side-by-side comparison using Arri Signature Prime 40mm and 15mm lenses and the NiSi Athena 50mm, 35mm and 14mm. I was pleasantly surprised by the results. (I couldn't use all of my shots because in a few instances where I didn't slate I have had trouble telling them apart with total certainty) Being the end of 2023 the Athena 40mm wasn't available and the other Signatures were not available to me at the time. In my work I shoot an Alexa 35 and over the last year I have used the Athenas on most of my commercials and I have found them to be excellent. Using them for Super 35 I am really using the best of what the lenses will do. They are by no means Signature Primes. They have very minor imaging inconsistencies, the focus throw is a little tightly spaced especially between 10 and 20 feet on most focal lengths and strong flares (think clear sunlight) can sometimes result in veiling glare. But.. they have excellent control of focus breathing, they are sharp but pleasing, distortion is well controlled and the set is very closely color matched. They are compact which is a huge help traveling with them - a case that would hold two Signatures holds 8 Athenas. And there's a little bit of a price difference. Graded in Resolve with matched grades across the lenses. Music by the lovely Juniper Vale via Audiio #nisifilters #NiSiAthena #lens #cinematography #audiio #junipervale #lenstest #cinemalens
