Good riddance! was looking for an e-mount comment. Considering this vs the Laowa 15mm T2.1 which is about the same price. Even though Irix with the higher T-stop of T2.6, it has a longer focus throw and a bigger filter diameter which I'm able to attach on the tilta matte box too easily. On the other hand, Laowa is a 77mm filter thread. Hmm great review again thanks!

it's hard to judge the distortion when it's on a cropped sensor though, would've been good to see some shots of it actually on a full frame sensor

@hoodaffairstv 3 года назад

did you use the EF mount version on your pocket 4k with the speed booster or the m43 mount version with the speed booster

@Chadlite 4 года назад

Hey Michael, great review! I was wondering which speedbooster you referred to at around 4:55. Is it the metabones adapter? I have the BMPCC 4k and want to get as close to full frame with the ef version of the lens using the metabones 0.64 booster, but there are 2 versions, the T XL 0.64 and the T CINE 0.64 XL. Do you have any idea which would be the better option for this lens? Not a lot of info online since these are a new line.

@FourLoopMedia 3 года назад

Is this the MFT mount or are you using speed booster?

@JM-gd3hr 4 года назад

I'm confused; at 2:11 when you were discussing correcting lens distortion, you artificially created a pincushion distortion that appears much, much stronger than the lens' natural barrel distortion-- was that intentional? Was that just Davinci resolve doing a bad job at analyzing the lens distortion?

@initialfocus 4 года назад

The actual clip was indeed done manually using the slider on the lens distortion analyzer in resolve. I guess I made it too strong lol my apologies. The auto analyze didn’t change it as dramatically as I wanted it to.

@viniciusbaccata5114 3 года назад

Hey bro, how are you? I've been following your channel since you bought your first Irix. I have a 15mm and a 45mm too and I have a question about your step down. On the Irix website they comment that the filter thread of the lens is 86m x 1mm, that's why I bought the nd with that specific size. I remembered your video and came back here to see which brand you were using and yours is from Fotodiox and it works perfectly right? On the amazon website it says it is 86mm x 0.75mm and I am afraid to buy it and not screw it on my lens, can you answer that question?

Is it normal for it to read “F- -“ on an FX3?

Yes because it’s full manual lens. There’s no electronic connectors to tell the camera what T stop it’s at.

Great...great review Michael, thanks a lot. Because of your review I've just ordered one! Question: Do you have a good recommendation of ND filters for this lens? I see that in this video you use a dream FX filter. However on the Dream FX website I can't find a ND filter with a 85mm thread?

@initialfocus 2 года назад

The dreamFX filter I have is the rectangular version that fits in a matte box not directly on the lens. However for my other NDs and filters most are 82mm then I use a 82-85mm step up ring. They are crazy cheap and work so easily 👍🏼enjoy the lens!

@SebastianAngeloPerez 2 года назад

@@initialfocus thanks for your quick response! Ok, I guess I have to find some ND filters that fits the Tilta matte box...Thanks for the tip of using a step up ring!

@DavidBerglund 3 года назад

Looks wonderful. Any idea how it compares optically to their stills lens 15mm Firefly/Blackstone?

@DavidBerglund 3 года назад

Both have 9 aperture blades and 15 glass elements. Obviously less focus breathing on the cine and vastly different housing and usability. But maybe they're very similar optically?

@DavidBerglund 3 года назад

Oh, only electronically controlled aperture on the stills lens it seems. That's a no then for me

@Artfulscience1 4 года назад

These are beautiful! Any word from irix about making a more complete set of primes? Namely like a 24mm or 85mm in that neighborhood

@initialfocus 4 года назад

No concrete answers but they definitely are excited to keep adding to the line. No clue when or what focal length though! I can definitely see those two as the next up!

@Artfulscience1 4 года назад

michael tobin From irix “Thank you for your email. We will be expanding the line for sure. We plan to fill the gaps in our Cine line soon. I can't confirm the exact focal lengths right now because they are still being developed but I can confirm that we are working on several new focal lengths at the moment and that they should be available during next year. You will be able to have a full set of primes very soon. I hope this answers your question, feel free to write back if you want to know anything else. “

@vikramsaini4330 4 года назад

Amazing review I have a 6k along side a tokina 11-16mm and a takumar 50mm 1.4... my question is for music videos and short film should I start with getting a 15mm Irix that you just reviewed perfectly or the 45mm cine Irix to start with I’m wanting to get into cine lens. My questions comes as which lens do you believe is used more for music videos and short film. and how would this balance on the wee bill S ?according to weight max load the black magic and these lens make the cut ... I will get the set in the long run once I make money off projects.. As a film maker/ content creator which one is most used a 15mm or 45mm if anyone would do the honors of responding to this question please do;)

@initialfocus 4 года назад

Hey thanks for your comment! Both lenses are great and it’s impossible to say which one specially to go for since one isn’t better than the other it’s just about what projects your do since every film is different. If I had to recommend something I’d say maybe the 15mm just because music videos are generally shot with wider lenses. That being said idk how well a pocket 6K and any Irix lens would do on the Weebill S. Yes technically the weight of a bare 6K and Irix lens may fall under the 4.5lbs payload limit but since the lens is heavier you’ll need weight in the back to balance it and i just think the rig won’t operate well on that gimbal. Honestly the only gimbal I’ve gotten this setup to work on is the Zhiyun Crane 3s. Maaaaybe the Ronin S would work too not sure. Hope that helps 👍🏼

@vikramsaini4330 4 года назад

Thanks for a quick reply 15mm Irix over rehoused Sigma18-35???

@initialfocus 4 года назад

It’s personal preference obviously zooms add convenience but i like the look that Irix gives better and the low focus breathing is a big one for me.

@vikramsaini4330 4 года назад

What matte box do you use to fit the lens?

@vikramsaini4330 4 года назад

The tilta mini matte box rings only go to 85mm seeing what a good option is for a matte box for filters

@Justin_Allen 4 года назад

Michael, I have a few questions. But first...great video! OK, 1) Have you experienced anything like this post talks about when using the IRIX lenses and the BMPCC 6K forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=105298 2) I am a lens idiot, mostly because I am coming from the post side of the business.. Tell me why I should buy the IRIX 15 mm lens . 45 mm lens instead of the Sigma Art Series 18-35 and 50-100 setup I am currently planning on for dual BMPCC 6K setups I am getting. I am concerned about being too limited for interview type shots.

@initialfocus 4 года назад

Hey! 1: That post is talking about the photography verison of the Irix 15mm as the Cine lens featured in this video didnt exist back in January when the post was created. A prime cine lens has no electrical connectors since focus and aperture are manual with the rings. So no you would have any issues like that. 2: Either choice wouldnt be a bad one. Sigmas are very nice lenses still. In my opinion its convenience vs quality thing. Zoom lenses like you said give you range and offer flexibility where as primes it takes more work to move framing and composition if you had to. I actually just borrowed the Sigma 50-100 and although its very sharp and nice quality, it has the worst focus breathing I have ever seen (i posted a video on twitter showing it compared to the IRIX). You like many may not care about that. Also like i said a true cine lens is full manual control so no auto focus of course. To wrap this up it comes down to preference. The small details like low distortion, little to no CA (Chromatic Aberration) Low focus breathing, focus gears, the whole line has similar dimensions and weight to make lens swaps super fast. I will always prefer a cine lens over a photography lens. But you may not and thats totally fine. I have so many friends who are run and gun and need to work fast so zoom lenses like the Sigma Art are perfect for that. Hope that helps!

@Justin_Allen 4 года назад

@@initialfocus Thanks for the information. I will ponder on where way I want to go for my first set of lenses.

@initialfocus 4 года назад

If you have the time/budget I’d suggest renting one of each type lens. Not sure if anywhere has IRIX rentals but you could rent a Sigma Art for like $50 and a sigma Cine would be the same sort of comparable to the IRIX that way you can play around with the workflow of a Cine lens vs a zoom photography lens

@Justin_Allen 4 года назад

@@initialfocus Last question and thanks for everything. What side focus handle are you using with the Nucleus-M motor? I cannot fond one that says it works with the M motor.
