I have no doubt that the Athenas are phenomenal lenses for the price (now I would go for the Dzofilm Arles, instead) and your work is technically remarkable BUT, man, this is more a Nisi commercial than any other thing.

Loved the video mate. Told the story without a huge amount of technical overwhelming info.. just showing how they performed which I liked. I went and did a lens test of these at the NiSi distributor here in Australia, and the footage was superb, although I found tended toward the golden tones - technically very sharp lenses. I decided to go the Meike FF primes with PL and the drop in filters - and while I don't think they are as good as the NiSi - especially the higher T-Stops are annoying especially filming with the S5iix crop 60p in low light makes the noise more prominent, but I was able to get an extra lens for the price of the NiSi - and I'm NOT a pro videographer, and probably have no business even owning these as I just shoot crappy youtube videos - and who knows, I may still buy a set as I really like how they look such a clean image. Your project looks cool too BTW - I'll be following your progress.

Probably depends what you're shooting. They have more focal lengths now, but I feel like 25, 50, and 85 or 100 would be pretty ideal

Chinese lenses has one weakness, bokeh, while everything is great, their bokeh is just not on par, I bought the NiSi and luckily I managed to sell it at $200 loss. I got the Cooke SP3 instead (only have 3 lenses for now, I bought 1 lens at a time), while the Nisi is better at focus breathing, sharper and faster. I just like the look of the SP3 more. Though it costs more, it's not unattainable. Like with everything, YMMV.
@DustinArmstrongPro

The cooke SP3s are 4x more expensive. And I agree that the cookes have a very unique distinct look, 21k vs 6k is a very big difference

@@DustinArmstrongPro 21k for the entire set is somewhat attainable most photographer lenses that cost more than that, for me i bought 1 at a time, more times than not you won't need all the focal length, I have the DZO vespids while building my SP3 set up. Between DZOfilm and the Nisi, for me personally, I would rather go for the DZOfilm, I feel that the look of the NiSi is like photography lens but with bad bokeh in a cine glass body. Though I must say the Nisi has excellent focus breathing. I use 25mm and 35mm alot and these 2 lenses are the weakest in the set. So the set is definitely not for me. YMMV.
