Irix Cine 30mm T1.5 Sony E Lens (Imperial Markings)

Prime cinema lens with a fast T1.5 aperture, delivering exceptional low-light performance and shallow depth of field for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. Its robust aluminum-magnesium alloy construction and weather sealing make it a reliable choice for demanding film productions. The lens features imperial focus markings in feet, 0.8 MOD gears on both focus and iris rings, and a 180° focus rotation for precise manual control.

Advantages

The T1.5 maximum aperture enables shooting in challenging lighting conditions while maintaining a cinematic look with smooth bokeh from the 11-blade rounded iris. The full-frame coverage ensures compatibility with a wide range of Sony mirrorless cameras. The weather-sealed design with five rubber seals protects against dust and moisture, allowing use in harsh environments. The uniform gear positions and 95mm front diameter make it easy to integrate into existing rigs and matte boxes.
