Designed for cine-style image capture and covering up to full-frame size sensors, the MFT-mount 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 Lens from IRIX incorporates multiple internal and external design features. External features include a 95mm front diameter, 0.8 MOD gears, luminous focus marks in feet, and a detachable 1/4"-20 support foot. Internally, 11 blades produce smooth, rounded bokeh and five seals protect against inclement weather and dust.

To help eliminate aberrations and distortion, the 150mm IRIX is constructed with 12 optical elements in 9 groups including four HR (high refractive index) and three ED (extra-low dispersion) elements. This lens has 270° of focus and 75° of iris rotation, an 86mm front filter thread, and it includes a lens hood in addition to front and rear caps.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will the lens' "adaptive" focus ring work with my Lumix S1's auto-focus or do I need a compatible follow focusing system?

A: The IRIX 150mm T3.0 Telephoto Cine Lens has no electronic communications with a camera body and requires a focus system to be in place for focusing.

Q: 2. Is this lens suitable for still photography as well as for video?

A: While the IRIX 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 Lens is designed for Cinema use it would also be perfect for still photography. Keep in mind it is a manual lens with no autofocus or stabilization.

Q: 3. Is it suitable for 6K Resolution Sensors?

A: The image circle covers full frame sensors, so as long as your cameras sensor supports 6K, this lens will also support 6K. Lenses do not have anything to do with resolution support.

Q: 4. So, has this been updated to work on Arri and Sony PL mounts? Reviews here say it won't work on either.

A: There is no difference between the PL mount on an ARRI or SONY camera, so if this is not mounting properly or not at all, there may be a manufacturing issue, but this is not something we have seen before these occurrences referenced here.

Q: 5. What is the weight of this lens?

A: 2.43 lb (1.1kg)

Q: 6. Does this lens have auto exposure (aperture setting)? I understand that it is manual focus. But, I am not clear if you can set the aperture using the regular camera controls.

A: Yes, the aperture is controlled through the camera body.

Q: 7. I'm assuming this is a strictly manual focusing lens - correct?

A: That is correct. This is a Manual Lens only.

Q: 8. Do these no longer communicate EXIF data as with the original Irix lenses?

A: Yes, the lens offer fully manual focus but with electronic iris control and metadata.

Q: 9. How much lens breathing occurs with this lens?

A: The lens breathing on this product should be almost imperceptible, as it has been designed with the specific "cine" lens characteristics that keep lens breathing to a minimum, if not entirely absent.

Q: 10. Can one interchange lens mounts on these lenses?

A: At this time, Irix is not made user swapable mounts available.
