Irix Cine 21mm T1.5 (Feet): A much needed upgrade
This lens is truly a gem. Superb craftsmanship, sharpness and color rendition., it's a wide angle lens with very little distortion. Pulling focus is a breeze with this lens. With added accessories it has turned my BGH1 into a full-fledged cinema rig.

Irix Cine 45mm T1.5 (Feet): Best value Cine lens by far
8K sharpness, weatherproof, low focus breathing, solid metal build quality, 180 degree focus throw. The list of features go on and on. For the price I have never found a lens like this. I compared for months Sigma Art series, SLR Magic's, Zeiss Milvus. Personally this lens should sit next to higher price brackets like Sigma Cine, New XEENs, Zeiss CP2's. Having this lens for a week I can say this lens lives up to every feature. Shooting on my Pocket 6K this thing makes it feel like I have a whole new camera or at least like I'm finally taking full advantage of my sensor. Can't recommend this lens enough. I plan on buying the brand new 15mm Cine and the 150mm Cine macro all 3 will be the price of a single average priced Cine lens!

Irix Cine 45mm T1.5 (Feet): True Cine Lens with unbeatable price
First of all, this is a sharp lens with all the features I look for in a cine prime - no noticeable focus breathing, nice long throw, and a solid build. The size is also nice - it's quite a bit smaller than my Sony primes or than other primes in the same price range. Once you factor in full frame coverage, you'd be spending an extra $5000 at least to match the quality in any other cine l

Irix Cine 45mm T1.5 (Feet): Solid; sharp; and affordable!!
I've been renting cine lenses for years for some of our bigger projects but never pulled the trigger on getting one. I mean, I have the Sigma 18-35 Art (photo) lens and I just can't justify spending 4K on the cine version. But this lens comes at a great price (paid $1,200) which in early 2020, happens to be cheaper than the Xeen primes. Not to mention Canon, Sigma, Zeiss CPs and the rest. -- I've shot a few test shots and the 45 looks very sharp and smooth with no noticeable CA. Focus throw is 180 and the overall feel is solid! - Can't wait for Irix to come out with a couple of more primes.

Irix Cine 15mm T2.6 (Feet): May be my new favorite lens!
Feels solid, but isn't overly heavy. Image quality is great and distortion is reasonable. I shoot it both full frame and S35 and it handles both well. As others have said, it's true that the lens cap is wonky. Apparently they have a fixed one that you can order separately and hopefully that's what will ship with new copies of the lens. I use it via an adapter and did have a little trouble finding a friendly one. Fotodiox PL-EF did NOT work. I eventually went with some no-names on eBay that did.

Irix Cine 15mm T2.6 (Feet): Cute little nugget
15mm on S35 is great. I thought this would be too wide and wished IRIX made a 25 or 35 but actually to compliment the existing 45 they sell this 15 is a good match feeling wide but not super distorted wide. Magnetic hoods are cool, but not so much if you are filming metalworking - all the dust just sits on those magnets. Minor quibble but the lens is great!

Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 (Feet): Great image for detail shots
Excellent for detail shots. It works as a telephoto lens but focus pull is way to fine beyond a couple of feet away from subject to really rack focus, so I would not recommend using this as a telephoto unless you can fix focus. No complaints as a macro lens though.
Van
Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 (Feet): Great macro lens, can't beat the price
I've been shooting with this lens on my RED Helium, but I also use it for stills with my A7III. The focus throw is smooth and long, and there is little breathing between short distances or between long distances (although, as expected, if you pull from a couple inches away to infinity, there is a transition where it breathes heavily). It feels well made and the images are very sharp.

Irix Cine 45mm T1.5 (Feet): You Need These Lens
I have the 15,21,30,45 & 150mm and let me say I love them all!! Great lens, solid build, image is superb, way better than the Rokinon Cine series

Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 (Feet): Really good lens.
Overall great lens. The only bad thing is the lens cap. Make sure you buy a normal lens cap and ditch this rounded magnetic mess. Image quality is clean and sharp without being clinical looking.

Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 (Feet): Fantastic Cinema Macro Lens
For the price, this lens rocks! If it were three times the price it would still rock! There's plenty of YouTube video reviews of technical specs, but creatively, I found that this lens gave me a cinematic (subjective, I know), shallow depth of field with crisp focus. Definitely need a focus-puller and stability, but even without the latter, you can pull off some interesting shots. This will be a holy grail lens for product filmmakers, but it's extremely capable of pulling off some narrative shots. Some test footage: https://vimeo.com/509993097

Irix Cine 15mm T2.6 (Feet): car interior beast!
The IRIX 15mm T2.6 Cine is my go-to for shooting in tight spaces, like car interiors. Its wide-angle capability allows for capturing extensive detail in confined areas, making it ideal for automotive shoots. The T2.6 aperture ensures excellent performance in low-light conditions, crucial for maintaining quality inside vehicles. Balancing impressively on gimbal rigs, it proves to be a versatile workhorse, capable of handling dynamic shots with stability and clarity. Its durable build adds to its reliability, making it a trustworthy choice for demanding environments. In short, the IRIX 15mm T2.6 combines wide-angle versatility, low-light proficiency, and rugged durability, standing out as an essential lens for producing high-quality, creative shots in limited spaces. It’s a valuable asset for any video project requiring sharp and expansive visuals in compact settings.

Irix Cine 21mm T1.5 (Feet): really impressed
I purchased this lens for my sony FX9 and I shoot with the raw extension. I mostly use the 28/135 F4 sony cine zoom lens. I needed something a bit more wide with a fastest aperture. My dream came true. this lens is excellent, extremely sharp and delivered stunning results. I have tried also the sony 16/35 GM master f2.8.. . but sometimes a real cine lens is better when autofocus(es) has their limitations and when manual focus is required for creativity. highly recommended

Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 (Feet): Beautiful lens that produces great images.
I shoot surgical/medical and thus needed that reach (compared to the Rokinon 100mm macro I was using before) in order to remain non-invasive to a health care professional's space. I also wanted a cine version of a macro so this was perfect and really there is no other option other than another 100mm macro cine lens. The images coming from my Fuji X-T3 with this lens are fantastic (rigged as shown using an EF to X-mount adapter). Feels like a solid lens. Not a fan of the magnetic hood but I use a matte box so no biggie. Lens cap and mount cover do suck, they feel like they could break from a drop. Focus ring is smooth but the iris ring is much looser in comparison, I wish they had the same tension.

Irix Cine 15mm T2.6 (Feet): Nice little cine prime
Quality optics and build. Light for a cine prime, and easy to use. Works well on our RED Komodo. Smooth focus and aperture rings. The magnetic filter system is quick and easy. Also have the IRIX 30mm Cine T1.5. We tested both lenses and found no issues. The blue infinity marking really is at infinity and the other markings appear to be accurate as well. The only complaint is the rounded lens cap that comes with the lens. We were told that IRIX is going to offer the better, flat cap they provide with their 30mm T1.5 for this and older models. Kudos to them for that improvement. Overall, this is a surprisingly good cine prime series considering the low price.

Irix Cine 11mm T4.3 (Feet): Amazing field of view with controlled distortion
This is a rectilinear lens with incredibly low visible distortion for an 11mm. Going through rooms there is no warping of vertical lines. A little stretching occurs towards the edges, especially at full frame, but that's no different from any other lens in this focal length. The build quality is great. The front element does extend out beyond the lens a bit, but in my 3 stage matte box I can still fit a single filter in front of it - and that type of element is necessary for an 11mm full frame lens.
