Description and Reviews
Key Take-Aways:
The Irix 45mm T1.5 Cine is a manual-focus, full-frame normal cine prime with nine aperture blades, an 86 mm front filter thread and weather sealing. Irix lists the L-Mount version at 1,203 g with a 0.4 m close focus, and it costs $1,295. As of Oct 2026, the LensVid review and seventeen videos lean positive. LensVid, in a review from Feb 2020, finds it all-metal with relatively low breathing and very minimal chromatic aberration, but fairly large and heavy, with contrast lacking wide open and vignetting up to T4. DIYPhotography’s video title calls it the best $1,200 cine lens, Michael Tobin’s title asks whether it is the best budget cine lens, and Cosmin Constantin’s six-month review covers the good and the bad, listing weight as a dislike.
From Irix:
The Irix Cine 45mm T1.5 is equipped with everything both amateur and professional cinematographers would need to create their masterpieces.
The lens comprises functionality, stunning visuals and outstanding performance in any environment – allowing filmmakers to discover completely new areas in film image creation.
