Description and Reviews

Key Take-Aways:

The Irix 150mm T3.0 Tele Cine is a manual-focus, full-frame telephoto cine prime with 11 aperture blades, an 86 mm front filter thread and weather sealing, designed specifically for longer focusing distances than the Macro 1:1 version. Irix lists the L-Mount version at 1,202 g with a 0.67 m close focus, and it costs $1,295. As of Oct 2026, the two written reviews and three videos linked here lean positive. Digital Camera World (Feb 2023) praises the solid weather-sealed build, tactile rings and pleasing image quality, but finds it not the sharpest at T3 and a bit heavy for handheld use. DIYPhotography (Mar 2023) finds the bokeh gorgeous and calls it a tank of a lens, though not ARRI SP sharp. meninjey’s video calls it the best lens he has handled.

From Irix:

The Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Tele is the twin brother of the Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Macro lens but is designed specifically to work on longer focusing distances. It is characterized primarily by a redesigned focusing mechanism – allowing for much greater precision in the range from 2 meters to infinity.

The lens combines functionality, stunning image quality, and outstanding performance in all conditions, allowing filmmakers to discover new filmmaking areas.
