The NiSi Aureus Prime 85mm T1.4 Full Frame PL Mount Cinema Lens brings stunning telephoto performance to the Aureus lineup. Perfect for portraits, close-ups, and isolated shots, the 85mm delivers rich image compression and exceptional subject separation. With full-frame 46mm image circle coverage and a blazing-fast T1.4 aperture, the 85mm gives filmmakers the creative tools to craft intimate and visually arresting compositions - whether on a narrative film, commercial, or documentary.

85mm Focal Length for Beautiful Subject Isolation

Perfect for intimate close-ups and cinematic portraiture, the 85mm provides flattering compression and narrow depth of field to emphasize emotional storytelling.

Shallow Depth and Striking Bokeh

The T1.4 aperture delivers shallow depth of field and exquisite bokeh that isolates the subject beautifully, while the 11-blade iris ensures smooth and natural out-of-focus areas that are pleasing to the eye. It’s an ideal choice for character close-ups and emotional storytelling. Even in low-light environments, the 85mm delivers clean, detailed imagery with a cinematic glow.

Fast T1.4 Aperture for Stunning Low-Light Performance

Offers dramatic subject separation, excellent low-light capability, and gorgeously soft bokeh with smooth background transitions.

Full-Frame Coverage with a 46mm Image Circle

Designed for large sensor cameras, delivering clean, edge-to-edge sharpness and contrast without vignetting or optical falloff.

Virtually Zero Focus Breathing

Provides consistent frame composition throughout the focus range, enabling precise focus pulls for emotionally impactful scenes.

Superior Optical Design for Minimal Chromatic Aberration

Reduces distortion, fringing, and aberration while preserving skin tones and fine detail across the image field.

300-Degree Focus Rotation for Precision Control

 Long rotation arc enables detailed and exact manual focusing, especially useful in tight-focus portrait and macro-style framing.

Versatile PL Mount Compatibility

Designed for broad PL-mount integration, including adapters with drop-in filter systems, ensuring total system compatibility.

Neutral and Accurate Color Reproduction

 Color rendering is natural and matched across the set for consistent skin tones, contrast, and tonal depth throughout your project.

Durability in a Lightweight Package

Built with a precision-machined metal housing, the lens weighs just 1300g while maintaining a solid, professional feel. It shares the same 90mm front diameter and 86mm filter thread as the rest of the Aureus Prime set, ensuring seamless integration with standard accessories. The integrated rear filter system gives filmmakers additional image customization without front-mounted filter complications.

Mirrorless Rear Filter System for Creative Flexibility

Supports ND and diffusion filters via rear slot, streamlining the rig and expanding aesthetic options.

Mirrorless Focus Scale (Feet or Meters) for Versatile Use

Dual glow-in-the-dark scales can be swapped easily to match operator preference or regional standards.

Optimized for Seamless Integration with Aureus and Athena Primes

Matched for rendering, tone, and image character, allowing effortless combination with other NiSi prime sets.

Optical Clarity with No Compromises

Featuring precision optical elements, the lens suppresses chromatic aberration, fringing, and distortion. Multi-layer coatings enhance contrast, control flare, and retain deep blacks and highlight detail. The image remains crisp and consistent across the entire aperture range, ensuring reliability in every frame.
