NiSi 24mm Aureus Prime Full Frame T1.4 Cinema Lens with Virtually Zero Focus Breathing (PL Mount)
The NiSi Aureus Prime 24mm T1.4 Full Frame Cinema Lens is a wide-angle prime lens engineered to deliver the clarity, depth, and character required by today’s cinematographers. With a fast T1.4 maximum aperture and 46mm image circle, the 24mm is ideal for full-frame cinema cameras, providing immersive compositions with stunning resolution, natural perspective, and exceptional control over depth of field. Whether used for handheld work, gimbal shots, or wide master scenes, the 24mm focal length captures expansive environments with visual balance—making it perfect for both narrative and commercial filmmaking.
Wide-Angle 24mm Focal Length for Dynamic Storytelling
Ideal for handheld sequences, dialogue setups, and sweeping environments, the 24mm delivers a broad yet natural field of view, balancing spatial immersion and subject focus for narrative and commercial work.
Wide, Bright, and Cinematic
The T1.4 aperture offers powerful low-light capabilities and creative control, enabling striking separation between subject and background even in wide-angle scenes. Its 11-blade iris ensures smooth and aesthetically pleasing bokeh, allowing filmmakers to create emotionally resonant images with a cinematic feel. The 24mm’s rendering is rich and natural, giving visuals a sense of dimensionality while retaining clarity and minimal distortion—even at the edges of the frame.
Edge-to-Edge Sharpness and Advanced Optics
The lens is built with an advanced optical formula featuring ultra-low dispersion elements that minimize chromatic aberration, color fringing, and distortion. The result is edge-to-edge sharpness with true-to-life color reproduction and exceptional contrast. NiSi’s multi-layer coatings reduce ghosting and flare, maintaining contrast in high-contrast lighting conditions and enhancing micro-contrast to preserve fine details in shadows and highlights.
Fast T1.4 Aperture for Stunning Low-Light Performance
The wide T1.4 aperture enables expressive control over depth of field, strong low-light capabilities, and smooth, cinematic bokeh for powerful visual storytelling in any lighting environment.
Full-Frame Coverage with a 46mm Image Circle
Designed for full-frame cinema cameras, the 24mm ensures edge-to-edge image quality with no vignetting, supporting ultra-high resolution imagery from center to corner.
Virtually Zero Focus Breathing
Maintains stable composition during focus pulls, making it perfect for scenes that require seamless, emotion-driven focus transitions without unwanted framing shifts.
Superior Optical Design for Minimal Chromatic Aberration
It features ultra-low dispersion glass to reduce distortion, chromatic aberration, and fringing, preserving color accuracy and crisp detail in every frame.
300-Degree Focus Rotation for Precision Control
The extended focus throw enables exact and repeatable manual focus control, empowering cinematographers to nail critical focus with precision.
Consistent Build and Weight with Aureus Prime Series
With a 90mm front diameter, 86mm filter thread, and 1300g weight, the 24mm is mechanically matched to the entire Aureus line for smooth rig integration and quick lens changes.
Versatile PL Mount Compatibility
Compatible with all PL-mount cinema cameras and adapters (including drop-in filter variants), the lens integrates easily into existing rigs and workflows for professional-grade flexibility.
Neutral and Accurate Color Reproduction
Delivers natural color rendering with seamless tonal transitions, supporting consistent visual tone across scenes and lens changes.
Durable, Lightweight Metal Construction
Crafted from high-grade metal, the robust yet compact design is optimized for handheld, drone, and gimbal work without compromising reliability or handling.
Mirrorless Rear Filter System for Creative Flexibility
Rear-mounted filter slot supports ND and diffusion filters, maintaining balance and streamlining setups without requiring large front-mounted filters.
User-Friendly Design for Demanding Sets
Glow-in-the-dark focus and aperture markings improve usability in low-light environments, and the mirrorles focus scales (feet or meters) offer flexibility across international productions. Gear positions are standardized across the Aureus series for fast, intuitive lens swaps on set.
Optimized for Seamless Integration with Aureus and Athena Primes
Shares matching color profile and image characteristics with other Aureus and Athena primes, ensuring uniformity and flexibility across a complete production workflow.
