Glad to see that you jumped on the IRIX Cine lenses bandwagon. I have been using them for the last 2 years and except for the horrible 11mm lens they came out with, these are a great set of lenses.
At last, the 65mm! Not having that in the line up stopped me from buying these. I have the 15 as I needed something weathersealed and it's been great. I would like a longer focus throw though, 180 degrees feels too short. On full frame it flares blue hexagons but they're kinda nice. I wish they'd offer mount swaps between EF and PL, but so far this doesn't seem to be a thing for Irix, while DZO give you both.
Just did a short review of the Irix 30mm on my channel along with a little horror short. Not sure you can beat the Irix lenses for the price. Gorgeous.
Hello Brandon, as a Nikon fan, I love your channel. You appear to be one of the few influencers who is using Nikon Z series cameras for video. I have been considering a couple of Irix lenses for my Z6iii and Z8; however, I can't get a clear answer to a question. I hope you can help. I know the Irix lenses are fully manual; nevertheless, do they pass focus distance and iris information back to Nikon bodies so it can be displayed on the LCD? Thanks, and please continue producing videos about Nikon/Red.
I always like to go with the general rule of thumb of shooting every lens at a T2. That way, they will match and make it easier on your focus puller to maintain focus.
Brandon, love your channel and your work. If I want these lenses but I also want to buy the new RED rf to pl mount with electronic ND filter for my Komodo X, should I go for the PL version of these lenses? Any loss in quality? Thanks!
I shot a video for Ford a few years ago and they have an approved list of focal lengths to film their vehicles with. Exactly for this distortion reason. They also listed out approved angles.
The one thing that’s terrible about these “budget” lenses is the length of these lenses. Xeen and Meike are two sets that are the same length all around for matte boxes. Now NiSi Athena.
It will show F for any cine lens you throw on there or any fully manual photo lens as well. There are no electronic contacts for the camera to communicate with the lens as well as the fact that all cine lenses have a manual aperture ring. You cannot change aperture using the camera so the camera has no way to display aperture value.
They (irix) offer mft mount. However, if you ever think you might change camera systems, you should get the Canon EF or PL mount and just use them with an adapter.
I'm interested in the t1.5 30mm EF for my C70 because I want to use the EF/RF 0.7x canon speedbooster so I will have a t1.05 30mm. I notice that the lens is sharp but a lot of your footage does looked washed out and with low contrast. I suppose I attribute this to the color grade process and not the lens. Can you confirm once more that the lens is in fact high contrast and do you have raw ungraded footage that can be downloaded so I can take a stab at it in Davince, to see the outcome?
most of the courses are not based in any specific camera. They go over how to improve your shooting skills regardless of what gear you have, as well as how to run video production as a business and get paid!
Better Optical quality Professional Design Sturdy Build Precise Focus Control Hard stops Light and Aperture Control Internal Zoom Control Parfocal Controlled focus breathing Lower chromatic aberration Attractive Light flaring etc etc These are not really run and gun lenses for the most part but purpose built lenses for mostly professionals.
Been having these lenses for a few years now and did my own video on them. I love them and I love the look of them.

10000 percent on mount swaps they should offer a kit.

I been using the Irix Lenses for couple years now, and they are great :)

my favorite "budget" cine lens are DZO vested, gnosis, catta zoom. They are unbelievable with a bmpcc6kpro in budget camera
What do you think Irix Cine vs Sigma Cine line?
Seconded
Issue is they don’t have anything in stock. :(

Thats interesting. Is there any link that you can share for the list of approved ones ?
@@gthm777 no I don’t have a link. I think it was in the preproduction documents…. It’s been a few years.
@@lanemccall6787 Gotcha...thanks for the response.
do these work with the speedbooster
I'd still choose Irix Cine lenses over other cheap brands

I have an fx3 and just got my irix 21mm. Is it normal for it to read “F - -“ ?
It will show F for any cine lens you throw on there or any fully manual photo lens as well.
There are no electronic contacts for the camera to communicate with the lens as well as the fact that all cine lenses have a manual aperture ring. You cannot change aperture using the camera so the camera has no way to display aperture value.
Are they compatible with MFT cameras and if not how would I go about making them compatible
They (irix) offer mft mount. However, if you ever think you might change camera systems, you should get the Canon EF or PL mount and just use them with an adapter.

Here's a demo in 4K of the 30mm T1.5 on the Sony A7SIII Full Frame showing how sharp this lens is ua-cam.com/video/KTtmSwP23bY/v-deo.html
@bwashmedia recently switched to Sony from Canon (I know I know 🙄)… stupid question, Creative Fam Academy cover Sony?

@@bwashmedia thank you sir!
Brandon, i'm in a tough spot on deciding between the irix 30mm cine lens and the slr magic 32mm apo microprime. Any advice?
I am in the same boat now. Wondering which one you went with.
What does a “cine” lens do that’s different?
Better Optical quality
Professional Design
Sturdy Build
Precise Focus Control
Hard stops
Light and Aperture Control
Internal Zoom Control
Parfocal
Controlled focus breathing
Lower chromatic aberration
Attractive Light flaring etc etc
These are not really run and gun lenses for the most part but purpose built lenses for mostly professionals.
Thanks for the review 😊
anyone got an opinion on the Irix vs the Nisi?
Unless your shoot is running for months, you rent, not buy. Why restrict yourself to a fixed set of lenses?
Dude, that wobbly table is triggering.....
like you can tell a difference, on YT, and when it's not side by side, lol
I loved the creed iii film you stared in lol....
Not cheap enough for the quality
You’re tripping ….for the quality the give they should cost more
