The minimum focus of the 14mm lens is truly remarkable. Biggest selling point (for me)

[@KofiYeboah]

It’s so damn close ahaha

[@Spidouz]

I’m doing video editing, but my friend that films what I’m editing bought the Athena Set, and I have to say that I really like the result. He will also get the 135mm that will be available soon. What a great time to be alive to have access to such high quality products at reasonable price, making filmmaking accessible to more people!

[@SQUAWWW]

But these lenses are great! Insanely good build quality for the price. I thought I would hate how clinical they are but I quickly learned to love them. Lots of room for experimentation with filters and in post.

[@KofiYeboah]

They’re so nice man 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Eyeofkamau]

Man is it wonderful to not see someone TYPE like THIS when making the TITLE of THEIR youtube video. Solid video bro. You’re so articulate with your words lol. I used to think you were able to speak so fast because you had it all preplanned, but after hearing you answer questions at NAB or in Cam’s videos, you can TALK lol. Clear and efficient

[@KofiYeboah]

Appreciate that 😂 I only got one speed unfortunately lol

[@BenjiSelby]

I didn’t even think about how the character of a lens would affect coloring 🤔 solid point!

[@KofiYeboah]

🙏🏾🙏🏾✊🏾thanks !

[@96FilmStudios]

I was also thinking about picking these up but i missed the cut-off for the Sale and now B&H is closed

[@KofiYeboah]

Ah dang!

[@foreignhades6788]

Lmao same! They always be closed. Like damn, let me make bad purchasing decisions!

[@joachimlucious]

I just picked up the 50mm after owning the 25mm and 85mm. Looking forward to the 14mm. Good review !

[@Blackdaggermedia]

Spoke with a rep for Nisi and was told in addition to the new focus lengths coming out, they are also releasing a PL rear filter version sometime soon.

[@KofiYeboah]

That would be cool !

[@Siimkristjanpariis]

I think this set with drop in filters would be killer combo on the Blackmayic Pyxis. Plus a DJI lidar to it.

[@KofiYeboah]

Right ?!

[@Mr.V_Edit]

It would be awesome if you could make a video on how to get a mentor. I think it’s super important, especially in this industry. But i have no idea where to start. Any advice?

[@KofiYeboah]

Idk how one does that tbh, as I don’t have one😅

[@BryceDocherty]

Thought about getting these for some upcoming projects and just to have. I only really want the 14 25 and 50. But they are harder to get than buying the whole set. I guess I could always sell the lenses separately. Thanks for constantly pushing out these informative vids my man!

[@KofiYeboah]

Thanks !!

[@waveland]

Quick note about the PL version of these lenses. NiSi has designed a set of screw on filters for the **rear element** due out at some point over the summer. Except in highly variable conditions they should come in handy. Overall I like these lenses a lot, though there are times when the image is “too” crisp and needs some de-focus either through filters or in post. The new set doesn’t start shipping till July, so if interested, go ahead and get the five lens set and build up from there.

[@KofiYeboah]

The 5 they started with it’s a pretty Great beginning and I’m excited for the new guys ✊🏾

[@Siimkristjanpariis]

I'm personally confused with the idea of rear screw on filters. Takes more hassle than front screw on filters at this point. On the other hand, drop in filters on mirrorless versions do sound nice.

[@Shxdow.Entertainment]

I’ve been waiting on this vid since the community post. Definitely didn’t disappoint 😮‍💨

[@KofiYeboah]

Thank you !!

[@riversheppherd121]

The comparison with the dzo was great

[@KofiYeboah]

Figured someone would ask!

[@migsflicks]

Loving my personal 50 so far, can't wait to get my hands on the 18mm.

[@KofiYeboah]

That’s dope💯

[@MGVzion]

These lens are really a great place to start! Hoping I can scoop one or two in the future :D

[@KofiYeboah]

Hopefully!

[@sparketech]

Nice lenses. Would get these if it had autofocus. I am tired of the garage auto focus on my Fujifilm X-S20 look at the Sony ZV-E I with Irix 21mm lens

[@sparketech]

Any thoughts before I go ahead and buy lenses? Has to have auto and manual focus Irix or something for that sort of price point at most. Can't really go higher price due to lack of funds Does not have to be a cine lens. But I want to use it for the full frame with good low light performance with minimal focus breathing with 20% outside video work. Prime lenses are okay with me. Sharp or smooth popping images are fine with me. The DZO looks great as well 27mm - 40mm range preferred as a starting point with Sony. My fave APS-C lens primes are 23mm (preferred for close quarters video recording without fish eye look) and 30mm as secondary. Kind of lost which cine lenses have auto focus or if you know a good standard lens

[@TraeBeneck]

​@@sparketechNo cine lenses have autofocus, like at all. "Cine" implies manual and you won't see autofocus on any professional film stuff. You could always get a lidar system but that'll get pricey. Photo lenses are the only option if you want autofocus, but almost all photo lenses will have breathing because photography doesn't require this to be corrected when only shooting stills. I'd recommend doing a lot more research before spending money on a set of lenses to figure out exactly what you're priorities are because all budget gear comes with tradeoffs. You just have to decide which tradeoffs matter more to you. Cheers!

[@sparkestudio]

@@TraeBeneck I ended up buying the Sony 35mm Prime GM 1.4 lens. My new camera has focus breathing compensation which this lens is compatible with using a 1.1X crop

[@TraeBeneck]

@@sparkestudio hell ya

[@rpace]

Looks like a nice kit. Great review!

[@KofiYeboah]

I love it!

[@ChristianSmith]

Any chance you compared them to GM lenses? I haven’t seen any side by sides to compare.

[@KofiYeboah]

I didn’t get the chance to!

[@wildhuskystudio]

I just can’t decide between this brand or the DZOs 😭

[@prostigeMarketing]

I'm in the same boat, but I'm leaning towards DZO mainly because of the pl & ef mounts included. Plus I'd be able to use the meike drop in filter for the pl

[@inknpaintCW]

Love these lenses!

[@KofiYeboah]

Same🙏🏾

[@ShyamalMakalanda]

Can I know the lens adapters your using? Planing to get PL and adapt to Sony E (fx3) and Canon EF (BMPC 6k)

[@KofiYeboah]

I use the Nisi E to PL!

[@ShyamalMakalanda]

@@KofiYeboah thank you! Can I also know what adapter you used to convert the PL to E F for the black magic! Thank you again for the great content man! Learnt a lot! 🤙🏻

[@FarFromFred]

great points all around, are they pretty light?

[@KofiYeboah]

Very!

[@andrewaddaieye7439]

Just a guess but I think they’re clinically clean

[@KofiYeboah]

That’s what the video is about yes

[@jamesalexanderbarnettdp9479]

I’m looking at these or the DZO’s as I currently have the old school Samyang/Rokinon VDSLR and I’m wondering if the image is really much of a step up? Yes the build will be better but is it really worth going for a budget Cine lens?

[@KofiYeboah]

That’s between you, your wallet, and the lord

[@jamesalexanderbarnettdp9479]

@@KofiYeboah That is so unhelpful. 😂

[@KofiYeboah]

@@jamesalexanderbarnettdp9479but is it truth 👀

[@jamesalexanderbarnettdp9479]

@@KofiYeboah It sure is, love the videos btw keep them coming! ;-)

[@TraeBeneck]

​@@jamesalexanderbarnettdp9479The image will definitely be a step up but not a universe shifter. Us camera nerds will easily be able point out all the ways the Rokinons fall short but most people probably couldn't tell a huge difference

[@MichaelHalsell]

Why does the Athena's render sharper in the A/B comparison?

[@KofiYeboah]

They’re a bit more clinical than the dzos which might make sense

[@tomazzaman]

I don't need it. I don't need it. I don't need it. How many times do I have to repeat this so that my brain will get it? Because I really want the 25mm one. Really, really, really want it. Like REALLY!!!11 :D

$80 per drop on filter x 7 for each stop. You do the math.

Good thing they make true colour NDs and a true colour matte box, also with ND

[@robbiefilms]

Get some Leica R's and mod them before these.

[@KofiYeboah]

Used them, the totally different glass.

[@robbiefilms]

@@KofiYeboah@KofiYeboah Agreed, I would say the character of the R's is incredibly pleasing; the Nisi's are sharp, but then again, so is everything nowadays.
