IRIX 150mm T3.0 Macro Cine (ft) Reviews

gorgeous Macro upgrade

By Matthew
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-03-12

Switching to the IRIX 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 Cine Lens from the Canon 100mm macro photo lens significantly enhanced my macro videography capabilities. The added 50mm focal length allows for closer, more detailed shots and a comfortable working distance, ideal for intricate scenes. This lens incorporates cinema-grade features, including a T3.0 aperture for superb performance in various lighting conditions, and precise control over focus and aperture, elevating the cinematic quality of your footage. The lens's build is both durable and weather-sealed, ready for any shooting environment. Its sharpness is a standout feature, delivering crystal-clear images that showcase the finest details of your subject. This sharpness, alongside the extended focal length and cinema functionality, makes the IRIX 150mm a significant upgrade for filmmakers seeking to advance their macro cinematography. It's a powerful tool that combines creativity, control, and quality, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to step up their macro video production.

The IRIX 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 Cine Lens (Canon EF, Feet) is neutral in color and has good contrast generally speaking. You can add color filters to the lens or in post. You can shoot more contrasty lighting or add contrast in post.

This lens vs the Sony 90mm OSS macro, what will get a bigger overall image at the minimum focus distance?
Asked by: Zephyr
The IRIX 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 Lens will achieve approximately 3.3" by 2.2" at it's closest. The Sony 90mm OSS Macro will achieve approximately 4.4" by 3" at it's closest. Therefore the IRIX 150mm will magnify more.
