150mm T3.0

Irix expands its cinema lens lineup to include Fuji X mount

Irix has today announced the addition of Fuji X mount to the list of mounts in which their lenses are available. This adds to the growing number of mounts, including Canon EF, Canon RF, Nikon Z, PL Mount, Micro Four Thirds and Sony E. The Irix lens lineup is still fairly small, covering only seven lenses – and even two of those are fairly similar to each other. But the addition of X mount will be very welcome to Fuji shooters.

All lenses in the Irix lineup feature a unified design to bring consistency to the range with aperture and focus ring positions and overall dimension and weight. This makes it easy to swap out on camera rigs and gimbals without needing to reconfigure or rebalance your camera.

Irix has released another 150mm T3.0 cine lens but this one’s not a macro lens

You might get the slightest sense of deja vu here, but lens manufacturer Irix has announced a new 150mm T3.0 Tele Cine lens. No, it’s not just a successor to the company’s existing 150mm T3.0 cine lens. It’s a new one that appears will co-exist in the Irix lineup alongside the original. The difference? Well, this one’s a regular 150mm telephoto prime and not a macro lens like the other one.

The company says that while the Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 lens released in 2019 has proven very popular, it’s not ideal for non-macro situations. Essentially, once you start getting out of macro range and into some distance on the focus ring, there isn’t much wiggle room for accuracy. So, the company developed this second version of the 150mm T3.0 with the “Tele” designation.
