Description and Reviews
Key Take-Aways:
The Irix 21mm T1.5 Cine is a manual-focus, full-frame wide cine prime with 11 aperture blades and weather sealing, and it has no front filter thread. Irix lists the L-Mount version at 1,209 g with a 0.3 m close focus, and it costs $1,295. As of Oct 2026, the seven linked videos lean positive. Michael Tobin’s title calls it his new favorite lens, and POPOTAM Productions reviews it as a budget-friendly cine lens in a comparison with the Sigma 18-35 f/1.8. Scott Balkum asks whether it measures up to the 30mm and 45mm, Kofi Yeboah tests it with the 45mm on a Red Komodo X, and Nick Salazar calls the Irix line very strong choices in the budget space.
