Irix Cine Lens 45mm T1.5 for PL Mount

The Irix Cine Lens 45mm T1.5 for PL Mount is a mid-range focal length lens. It consists of 11 elements in 9 groups, including 4 high-refraction elements, one extra-low dispersion lens, and one aspherical lens. This delivers crisp details, vivid colours, and very low distortion of less than 0.5%.

The housing of this lens has been specially designed for video use, featuring an all-weather seal with a fixed rear lens element. This prevents the rear of the lens from being susceptible to dust.

Values and settings are readable from the side, as a filmmaker often works as part of a team — making them easy to check at a glance. The aperture ring has a 75-degree rotation and features 9 aperture blades. The focus ring has a 180-degree throw and is equipped with industry-standard .8 pitch gears for use with a follow focus. The adaptive ring can be rotated to give your follow focus more room — this works particularly well with electronic flow focus systems.

The lens features a standard 95mm mount for a matte box and has an 86mm thread for front-mounted filters. The T1.5 light transmission rating refers to the actual amount of light reaching the sensor, whereas an f-stop refers to the aperture opening.

The cine version is available for Canon, Sony E, MFT, and PL Mount, and covers a Large Format sensor. It easily covers the sensor of an EOS R as well as a RED Monstro or Sony Venice. It can also be used on an MFT or Super 35 sensor with a 2x or 1.6x crop.
