Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 Lens for Nikon Z (Imperial)

The Irix Cine 150mm T3.0 Macro lens for Nikon Z delivers true 1:1 magnification with a remarkably close 0.345 m minimum focus distance, making it a powerhouse for extreme close-up cinematography. Its full-frame coverage and 150mm focal length provide a flattering 16.1° diagonal angle of view, ideal for isolating subjects with stunning background compression. The lens features an 11-blade rounded aperture for smooth, cinematic bokeh, and a T3.0 to T32 range for precise exposure control. Designed with 12 elements in 9 groups, including 4 high-refractive and 3 extra-low dispersion elements, it ensures exceptional sharpness and minimal chromatic aberration. The robust cine-style housing includes 0.8 MOD gears on both focus and aperture rings, enabling seamless integration with follow-focus systems. The focus ring offers a long 270° rotation for precise manual focusing, while the aperture ring rotates 75° for quick adjustments. Weather sealing with three rubber seals protects against dust and moisture, making it reliable in challenging environments. The lens is rectilinear with extremely low focus breathing, ensuring consistent framing during focus pulls. Internal focusing maintains the lens length, and the 86mm filter thread allows for creative filtration. The imperial focus scale (feet) is clearly marked for accurate distance measurement.
