Providing comfortable work without the need for adapters!
The Irix Cine line is a line of cinematographic lenses designed for comfort and efficiency on large film sets as well as small productions. Combining a durable, ergonomic design with excellent optical properties, we give you everything that a professional operator – or novice filmmaker – needs.
We are aware of the importance of compact dimensions. It’s one of the the key factors in choosing a mirrorless system, which many believe is the future of filmography. To meet the expectations of our users, we’re focused on native solutions that will help you capitalize on the advantages of these small-footprint systems.
Like the rest of the Irix Cine lenses, the new mount options exhibit the same excellent optical properties. They have the same durable and ergonomic construction. At Irix, we care about the highest quality. We ensure comfortable and fast work, both on large film sets and on small productions. The Irix Cine product lineup was made after long consultations with cinematographers from around the world. The reinforced and sealed structure guarantees the safety of filming in difficult weather conditions and also protects the camera sensor against dust and moisture.
The Irix Cine lenses create a fully compatible set thanks to the similar weight and uniform position of the focusing rings and the aperture. This is extremely important when using stabilizing systems such as a gimbal or Steadicam.
All Irix Cine products are ready to work in 8K resolution, allowing you to take advantage of the latest cinematography technologies. The use of the native mount for mirrorless cameras ensures not only comfort but also work safety. As well as guaranteeing tightness of the connection and rigidity of the entire set. This is crucial when using f.e. automated follow-focus systems. By presenting Irix Cine lenses with an RF, Z and L mount, we are giving you a product that guarantees reliable operation for many years.
