[Full Frame] I've been renting cine lenses for years for some of our bigger projects but never pulled the trigger on getting one. I mean, I have the Sigma 18-35 Art (photo) lens and I just can't justify spending 4K on the cine version. But this lens comes at a great price (paid $1,200) which in early 2020, happens to be cheaper than the Xeen primes. Not to mention Canon, Sigma, Zeiss CPs and the rest. -- I've shot a few test shots and the 45 looks very sharp and smooth with no noticeable CA. Focus throw is 180° and the overall feel is solid! - Can't wait for Irix to come out with a couple of more primes.

[T1.5] 8K sharpness, weatherproof, low focus breathing, solid metal build quality, 180 degree focus throw. The list of features go on and on. For the price I have never found a lens like this. I compared for months Sigma Art series, SLR Magic’s, Zeiss Milvus. Personally this lens should sit next to higher price brackets like Sigma Cine, New XEENs, Zeiss CP2’s. Having this lens for a week I can say this lens lives up to every feature. Shooting on my Pocket 6K this thing makes it feel like I have a whole new camera or at least like I’m finally taking full advantage of my sensor. Can’t recommend this lens enough. I plan on buying the brand new 15mm Cine and the 150mm Cine macro all 3 will be the price of a single average priced Cine lens!

[Full Frame] First impressions, this lens is well built the focus and aperture rings have a nice resistance. I am having so much fun with this lens, it has interesting characteristics. The lens so super crisp.

[L-Mount] Everything you'd want out of a decent cine lens on a budget. Build quality is great, focus ring is smooth. No complaints.

[T1.5] What more could you ask for in a lens. I was very skeptical at first as I work in film production and we rent lenses all the time. I wanted something that I could use for my red that could live on the camera for run and gun doc work. This lens has blown me away in the short two days I've used it. It is very sharp and has this unique look to that reminds me of having a pro mist filter on it. The build is heavy and strong and feels like a mini tank. I've gambled with lenses for 5 years and am very happy with this purchase. I will be buying more. Thanks Irix!!!!!!! You guys rule.

[Full Frame] In over 40 years of industrial and feature film making, the Irix primes are my favorite series of prime lenses, favored over the big name lenses that cost 4-5x. They are fast, sharp, have very natural-looking out-of-focus highlights, and the sealing is a bonus for those like us, who shoot a lot of exteriors. Hopefully Irix will soon offer something in the 65mm-85mm range so we can relegate our current short telephoto to the B camera lens set.

[L-Mount] Having used IRIX lenses since initial launch of their Cinema Line, I would say the 65mm lens is a great addition to the line up. Having used it it already on a project with the RED Komodo and Canon Focal Reducer I would have to say the image it produces is great. I have not noticed any chromatic aberrations in the footage I have shot.

[T1.5] It never stoped to amaze me the kind of build this lens has. Nice big and a little on the heavy size. I will compromise well build for fragility, I may also add this has a very nice glass. Overall very satisfied with the lens.

[43.3 mm] Loving this lens, small, compact, well made. Focus and aperture rings are nice and smooth, optics are sharp. Works perfectly on the X-T3

[21mm] Glad Irix finally added something between the 45mm and 150mm. If you're already rocking a set of these primes, the 65mm is a must! Used them for my b-cam side profile angle last week and loved the look of this lens.
