Description and Reviews
Key Take-Aways:
The Irix 65mm T1.5 Cine is a manual-focus, full-frame short-telephoto cine prime with 11 aperture blades, an 86 mm front filter thread and weather sealing. Irix lists the L-Mount version at 1,395 g with a 0.6 m close focus, and it costs $1,295. As of Oct 2026, the two written reviews and three videos lean positive. LensVid (Nov 2024) praises the robust build, smooth focus and non-existent chromatic aberration, but finds it soft wide open, needing T2.8 to T4 for maximum sharpness, and heavy at about 1.5 kg. Videomaker (Jan 2025) calls it built tough with beautiful bokeh, and says the softness wide open is worth overlooking for the money. Joshua David Weir’s first-impressions video says the lens impressed him more than he expected.
From Irix:
A short telephoto cine lens, like the Irix 65mm, is essential for filmmakers, excelling in cinematic portraits, narrative filmmaking, and documentary work. It also enables filmmakers to achieve cinematic looks even in challenging lighting environments.
