Irix has confirmed that its new Cine 65mm T1.5 lens will soon be available and has already opened preorders.
This lens, designed for cinematographers seeking a high-quality, versatile option, joins a robust lineup of cine lenses offered by Irix, including 11mm T4.3, 15mm T2.6, 21mm T1.5, 30mm T1.5, 45mm T1.5, and 150mm T3.0 models.
Design and Features
The Cine 65mm T1.5 lens features a standard 95mm external diameter compatible with most matte boxes and accessories, and includes a front Magnetic Mount System (MMS) for quickly swapping filters and accessories. It also offers an 86mm filter thread. Constructed from aluminum and magnesium alloy, the lens is both lightweight, approximately 1kg, and compact, making it an ideal choice for portable setups.
Advanced Specifications
This lens is ready for Ultra HD 8K filming and covers full-frame sensors. It includes weather-sealed construction to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as rain, sand, and dust. The focus and aperture rings are geared with Mod 0.8M for easy use with follow focus systems. A unique feature of this lens is its adaptive ring, which allows for the repositioning of the follow focus gears without compromising the sleek design of the lens body. Engraved markings filled with UV-reactive paint make it easy to operate in low-light conditions.
Availability and Compatibility
The Irix Cine 65mm T1.5 is priced at $1195 USD and can be pre-ordered directly from Irix. It is available in multiple mount options including Canon RF, EF, Sony E, MFT (Micro Four Thirds), Nikon Z, L-Mount, ARRI PL, and Fuji X, catering to a wide range of camera systems.
