NiSi Aureus Prime 35mm T1.4 Full Frame Cinema Lens (PL Mount) – The Cinematic All-Rounder

Versatile Focal Length, Cinematic Results

The NiSi Aureus Prime 35mm T1.4 Full Frame Cinema Lens is a true workhorse in the Aureus Prime lineup, delivering a natural field of view that balances depth, intimacy, and spatial awareness. Ideal for dialogue scenes, handheld work, and establishing shots, the 35mm is a go-to lens for narrative and documentary filmmaking alike.

With a fast T1.4 aperture and full-frame 46mm image circle coverage, it delivers stunning visuals in any lighting scenario—day or night, indoors or out.

Exceptional Control in Low-Light and Depth

The wide T1.4 aperture opens creative possibilities for selective focus and shallow depth of field, helping cinematographers guide viewer attention with precision. The 11-blade iris produces buttery-smooth bokeh that adds emotion and depth to the image.

Whether you’re capturing a character-driven close-up or a wider environmental portrait, the 35mm creates a beautiful balance between subject and space.

Optical Precision and Color Integrity

The optical formula of the 35mm includes ultra-low dispersion glass elements that suppress chromatic aberration and distortion, ensuring faithful color reproduction and crisp detail throughout the frame. Multi-layer coatings reduce flare and ghosting, while maintaining contrast and micro-detail across a range of lighting conditions.

Even wide open at T1.4, the image remains sharp and clean from corner to corner, preserving fine texture and tonal separation.

Zero Focus Breathing for Uninterrupted Composition

The 35mm Aureus Prime features virtually no focus breathing, so cinematographers can execute focus shifts without altering the framing. A 300° focus rotation gives users exceptional manual control for nuanced focus pulls—ideal for high-resolution capture and precision tracking.

Professional Features, Compact Size

Weighing just 1300g with an all-metal housing, the 35mm lens is compact and rugged—perfect for handheld rigs, gimbals, and remote-operated setups. Its standardized 90mm front diameter and 86mm filter thread ensure full compatibility with professional matte boxes and screw-on filters.

The rear-mounted filter slot provides additional image-shaping possibilities without disrupting balance or requiring large front filters.

Optimized for Set Efficiency

Glow-in-the-dark markings on the focus and aperture rings offer excellent visibility in low-light conditions. Dual focus scales in both feet and meters are swappable based on user preference, and the lens’s consistent gear positioning allows for fast, seamless lens changes with no adjustment to follow-focus systems.

Harmonized with the Aureus and Athena Lineups

The 35mm shares optical characteristics with the full Aureus Prime set and is matched for color, contrast, and rendering style with NiSi’s Athena Prime series. This makes it easy to intercut shots without visible tonal or optical shifts—essential for maintaining continuity in professional productions.

A Must-Have Mid-Wide for Every Kit

Blending versatility, precision, and cinematic beauty, the NiSi Aureus Prime 35mm T1.4 is the perfect mid-wide focal length for a wide range of scenes and styles. It’s the trusted lens that professionals reach for again and again.
