A short telephoto cine lens, like the Irix 65mm, is essential for filmmakers, excelling in cinematic portraits, narrative filmmaking, and documentary work. It also enables filmmakers to achieve cinematic looks even in challenging lighting environments.
All Irix film lenses have very similar dimensions and weight, which allow for quick and easy lens changes without the need to change the rest of your setup. The product is equipped with a Magnetic Mounting System (MMS), which allows you to connect accessories such as magnetic filters from the Irix Edge line up.
Rain or shine. The rugged and durable construction of the Irix Cine 65mm guarantees that you can keep on working with whatever weather throws at you. The lens is resistant to rain, sand, and dust. So you can take it for your next adventure in a desert or jungle if your camera can handle those environments. Engraved markings on the lens have been filled with UV-reactive paint, thanks to which filming in difficult lighting conditions becomes much easier.
Irix Cine lenses have the esteemed Military Grade MIL-STD-810 certification. This certification encompasses rigorous testing for both freezing rain and icing (Test Method 521) and humidity (Test Method 507.6), making Irix Cine lenses the first in the industry to earn such recognition.
Irix Cine 65mm was designed in accordance with the standards of the professional film industry, being the result of a combination of traditional lens solutions and modern innovation. Irix Cine 65mm has a front filter thread size of 86mm and geared Mod 0.8 M rings, which ensure compatibility with most accessories available on the market.
Irix is a young brand, but thanks to the fifth lens in its lineup, it’s closing the set covering most of the common focal lengths. All of our lenses are carefully tested, to meet the highest standards. And we don’t play around with them. We make sure, that all of our lenses are compatible. Starting from our neutrino coating, which provides the same color reproduction on each lens to the same weight and location of gears.
Irix cine 65mm T1.5 meets requirements of all filmmakers. No matter if you like to build professional setup or shoot with bare lens on stabilizer this lens is for you. Aluminium and magnesium alloy construction and housing weight only 1,2-1,4kg.
Front external diameter 95mm for barndoor and accessories, filter thread 86mm, front MMS – Magnetic Mount System for rapid filters are just a small part of multifunctional design.
Creativity and passion lie in your individuality. Craft one-of-a-kind cinematic look that won’t be easily forgotten! Thanks to the perfectly refined optical system with 12 optical elements in 9 groups (including 2 HR lenses, 2 ED lenses, and 1 ASP), your shots will come out with low level of distortions and aberrations.
The internal focusing system of the lens guarantees incredible sharpness. 11 – blade iris provide beautiful bokeh and a very smooth adjustment between T1.5 and T16.
With very low focus breathing and close to human field of view Irix 65mm Cine is a perfect lens for filming natural-looking scenes.
Allow yourself to enjoy every moment of filming!
The adaptive ring is an innovative function which you will love no matter if you are a pro or an amateur.
The ring has been designed to keep the lens housing sleek and user-friendly when operated manually, but without any compromises when you want to use your favourite cine gear. Combining compatibility and usability that have never met before!
All Irix Cine lenses (except Irix 11mm T4.3 and Irix 21mm T1.5 lens) have the Magnetic Mount System (MMS), which is compatible with Irix Edge MMS filters. Irix Edge magnetic filters have a unique, threadless design, making them extremely quick to replace.
MMS filters can be stacked on top of each other, which not only allows you to connect them freely but also saves a lot of space during storage.
All Irix Edge Magnetic Mount System (MMS) filters are made of tempered optical glass (SR), which makes them extremely durable. The filter surfaces are covered with a multi-layer anti-reflective coating with a special type of NANO coating, which facilitates their cleaning.
Available types of Irix Edge MMS filters: UV, CPL, ND4, ND8, ND16, ND32, ND64, Vari ND 2-5 and Black Mist 1/2, 1/4, 1/8.
All Irix has a similar weight, which makes swapping them on gimbal much easier. Additionally, focus gears help with any wireless follow focus. The weight of around 1kg works as a perfect counterweight to most mirrorless cameras, making balancing a breeze. We have tested it personally on many gimbals from most popular brands like Zhiyun or DJI and were very happy with how it all performed together.
*Each camera has different weight distribution and size, some balance easier, others don’t. Tests were done on the Sony A7 series and Canon R series.
Your comfort matters. To ease the use as much as possible, we made sure our Irix Cine 65mm is compatible with most follow focus systems, matte boxes, stabilizers and accessories available on the market.
Furthermore, it comes with a detachable lens support foot – to provide stabilization and reduce the strain of the camera mount when in use with follow focus gears.
Irix Cine is so universal it will become your favourite lens no matter the task!

I've been testing out the IRIX 65mm T1.5 Cine Lens paired with my Sony ZV-E1 for a little over a month to see if this combo could potentially make the tiniest cinema camera on the market.

"The brand new IRIX 65mm T1.5 cine lens is pure heaven for creators and filmmakers. IRIX is known for their attention to detail and high quality glass and image reproduction, and their brand new 65mm did not disappoint their current users."

"L'IRIX 65/1.5 è un obiettivo ben realizzato e rifinito ma, cosa fondamentale, è in grado di fornire una notevole e costante qualità d’immagine in tutte le situazioni d’uso, in particolare con le luci difficili. La progettazione di origine cinematografica si nota dal tipo di resa, molto bella anche in poca luce e con un notevole bokeh che vale la pena di sfruttare a fondo."
