Description and Reviews

Key Take-Aways:

The Irix 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 Cine is a manual-focus, full-frame telephoto cine prime with 11 aperture blades, an 86 mm front filter thread and weather sealing, and Irix states 1:1 magnification. Irix lists the L-Mount version at 1,202 g with a 0.35 m close focus, and it costs $1,195. As of Oct 2026, the one written review and nine videos linked here lean positive. PRONEWS (May 2021) found the 150mm’s look ordinary, with no real punch next to the rest of the set, yet still came away with a positive impression and praised the smooth gear tension. Beyond The Frame Hawaii’s video calls it a crazy sharp macro lens, and Duffy James answers his title question with YES, praising the build quality and smooth focus throw.

From Irix:

The Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1, with its short telephoto focal length and leading parameters, is equipped with everything both amateur and professional cinematographers would need to create their masterpieces.
