Nikon Ai / AiS (Zero Optik)

Classic Nikon glass. Reimagined for modern cinema!

Freestyle’s Nikon AI/AI-S vintage primes have been lovingly rehoused by the masters at Zero Optik.

Nikkor glass dominated with pro photographers in the 1970s and 80s. Even today, these optics still live in a class of their own. Sharp with vintage character. Staggering skin tones. Amazing contrast. Modest and beautiful flares. Lovely colors. Gentle fall off. When wide open they bloom with that unique Nikon glow.  And thanks to Zero Optik’s upgraded 14-blade aperture, the bokeh is now buttery smooth! Zero’s design and mechanics are amazing. 300 degree Focus (all cinema direction now). Standardized matching gear positions and 95mm fronts that are perfect for handheld!

These iconic lenses bring subtle character to large modern sensors with that legendary soulful and timeless Nikon vibe. Vintage Nikons AI’s are just simply gorgeous!

Freestyle spent years obsessively sourcing each lens to build this massive set. We’re proud to share it with filmmakers who care as much about the magic of vintage Nikon’s as we do!
