Description and Reviews

Key Take-Aways:

The Irix 30mm T1.5 Cine is a manual-focus, full-frame wide cine prime with 11 aperture blades, an 86 mm front filter thread and weather sealing. Irix lists the L-Mount version at 1,223 g with a 0.34 m close focus, and it costs $1,295. As of Oct 2026, the two written reviews and ten videos lean positive, with caveats. Digital Camera World calls it a formidable cinema lens with great sharpness, weather sealing and well controlled distortion and breathing, but soft wide open at T1.5. LensVid finds sharpness and contrast very good from T2.8, needs T4 for edge-to-edge sharpness, and notes flare, vignetting and noticeable chromatic aberration up to at least T2.8. Phillip Skraba’s video calls it an incredible budget cine lens, and LeechTM’s title calls it a great entry into the world of cine lenses.

From Irix:

Irix Cine 30mm T1.5 is a full-frame cine lens, for sensor resolution up to 8K. It is excellent for interviews and medium wide shots of your subject. Especially on a crop sensor where you will get 45mm (1,5x).
