From the very beginning, our intention was to provide the cinematographers with the most advanced and versatile cinematic lenses. The moderate focal length of the Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1, combined with its exceptional functionality, makes it a fantastic tool to discover new areas in film image creation – ones that were not accessible for enthusiasts of filmmaking before. Release of the 150 mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 as the first lens in the Cine line is a great opportunity to share ideas and unique solutions developed especially for the Irix Cine lenses. All features, functionalities and possibilities of the Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 are shown on the infographics below. Â
Magnetic Mount System (MMS) is a universal mount system for Irix MMS accessories that we created especially for Irix Cine lenses. The mount of accessories in the MMS system is exceptionally easy, while the strength of the magnetic mount was balanced with great care – to provide both safety of your accessories as well as the ease of use. By choosing our Irix Cine lens, you gain the option of using our other Irix accessories for Irix MMS in the future.
CloseThe ILH-C150 lens hood is the first element of the MMS system which allows fast and intuitive attachment of dedicated accessories to the lens. Individually matched magnetic force will ensure a balance between safety and comfort of use. We have designed it for filmmakers who work in the field and need protection for the optical system from damage and side light. To save space during transport, the lens hood can be attached in the reverse position.
CloseDesigning our Irix cinematic lenses, we made sure to make the front diameter to that of a movie standard. Thanks to this, you can rest assured that professional movie accessories made by other, independent manufacturers, will also fit your Irix lens.
CloseLens support with 1/4″ thread is a standard element of our Irix cine lens kit. It stabilizes the lens while you work with follow focus systems, all the while reducing the strain of the camera mount. For your convenience, you can put the lens support either on the bottom or the top part of your lens.
CloseAdaptive ring is an innovative solution that provides compatibility with follow focus gear rings of various width. At the same time, it preserves the convenience of manual focus ring operation. For more ease of setting the follow focus mechanism, the ring turns at the full angle with a steps of 15 degrees.
CloseTwo-position detachable lens support is a standard element of our Irix cine lens kit. It stabilizes the lens while you work with follow focus systems, all the while reducing the strain of the camera mount. For your convenience, you can put the lens support either on the bottom or the top part of your lens.
CloseQuiet and smooth rotation of the focus ring was achieved thanks to new MST lens positioning system created especially for Irix Cine lenses. The rotation angle of the ring was increased to 270 degrees, what makes focusing at closer distances as easy and accurate as for further plans. Lens will be available with metric and imperial units on focusing distance scale depending on region.
CloseOur 0.8 pitch mod cine gears are made according to the follow focus system standard. To ensure utmost comfort even without follow focus, side edges of the gears in our Irix Cine lenses were rounded and partly hidden in the housing.

CloseThe aperture ring rotates smoothly in the T3.0 to T32 range, and the rotation angle of a ring is 75 degrees.
CloseThe lens is available in mount versions for Canon EF, Sony E, MFT and PL-mount.
CloseClear, accurate and long-lasting markings are an element that distinguishes high-quality cine lenses. In Irix Cine lenses, the markings have been laser engraved and filled with fluorescent UV reactive paint to guarantee their usability in all lighting and atmospheric conditions for a long period of use.

CloseThe front filter thread has a standard diameter of 86mm which makes it compatible with various filters available on the market.

Internal focusing system is one of the Irix Cine 150mm’s key features. Due to this aspect, our lens has a very low breathing factor and does not change its size during focusing.
CloseThanks to the internal focusing system, rear elements of the optics are always in a fixed position. This solution provides protection from dust for the inner optics system and the camera sensor. Moreover, a fixed position of the last optics group means a better optics quality control in general.
CloseWhile designing the optical system of the Irix Cine 150mm, we used 12 optical elements placed in 9 groups – among them 4 HR lenses and 3 ED lenses. Thanks to that, Irix lens can guarantee an image free of aberration and distortion, all the while providing smooth blur of the background.
CloseThe lens housing was equipped with five rubber seals (four in PL-mount version) and other sealing solutions that create barrier for dust, rain and accidental splashes of water. The sealed construction ensures the safety of both the optical lens system and the camera sensor.

CloseWe paid great care to the aperture mechanism. Its rounded aperture blades guarantee a highly-desired a pleasant blurr even on low aperture values. The rounded opening of the aperture delays the diffraction effect, which directly results in more details of the image.
CloseQuiet and smooth rotation of the focus ring was achieved thanks to the new MST lens positioning system created from scratch. The Multi Start Thread mechanism in combination with a sealed housing ensures durable and long-term operation of the lens in various atmospheric conditions and intensive use.

The lens provides a natural background blur that is highly desired in a movie image. Thanks to the 11-blade iris, the blurred spot light sources have circular shape even at low aperture values.
CloseThanks to internal focusing system, Irix 150mm T3.0 offers ultra-low breathing effect when focusing to closer distances.
CloseThe optical system of the lens has been optimized for 8K (UHD) film resolution, thanks to which even for full aperture the lens achieves very high resolution and with a minimal level of chromatic aberration.
CloseThe image created by 150mm T3.0 Macro 1: 1 is practically free of geometric distortions which are only 0.1%.
