This high-quality, professional-grade lens is meticulously engineered to deliver ultra-low chromatic aberration and superior micro-contrast control, ensuring that every frame captures the finest image details with exceptional clarity. The lens's robust and durable construction is complemented by a fast T 1.9 maximum aperture, which not only excels in low-light conditions but also provides a shallow depth of field for that sought-after cinematic look. The soft bokeh effect beautifully isolates subjects from their backgrounds, allowing for striking visual storytelling.
Designed with precision in mind, the ATHENA PRIME 35mm lens boasts minimal focus breathing, a critical feature for videographers who require a consistent field of view during focus adjustments from the closest focus distance to infinity.

The 77mm filter thread is consistent across the series (excluding the 14mm), and the aperture and focus rings are uniformly positioned, streamlining the use of lens accessories and ensuring operational consistency.
This 35mm lens features a 300-degree focus rotation with fluorescent focal scales, offering filmmakers precise control and ease of use in varying lighting conditions.
