Used Irix 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 Cine Lens – Sony E-Mount
The Used Irix 150mm T3.0 Macro 1:1 Cine Lens for Sony E-mount is a professional full-frame macro cinema lens designed for filmmakers who require exceptional close-up detail, precise manual control and a compressed telephoto perspective. Combining a 150mm focal length, T3.0 maximum transmission and true 1:1 macro reproduction, the lens is particularly well suited to product cinematography, beauty, food, tabletop, nature, VFX and detailed insert work. Designed specifically for professional filmmaking, the Irix 150mm features a robust cinema housing with standard 0.8 MOD focus and iris gears, allowing compatibility with professional follow-focus and lens-control systems. The long-throw manual focus mechanism provides precise control, particularly important when working at macro distances where even small changes in focus can significantly alter the image.
True 1:1 Macro
The defining feature of the Irix 150mm is its 1:1 macro reproduction ratio, allowing subjects to be reproduced at life size on the camera sensor. This makes the lens particularly useful for capturing fine details in products, textures, objects and other subjects that require extreme close-up imagery. With a minimum focusing distance of approximately 0.35m, the lens provides impressive close-focus capability while retaining the distinctive compression and perspective of a 150mm telephoto lens.
High-Resolution Optical Design
The Irix 150mm T3.0 features a sophisticated optical construction designed to deliver high levels of detail across the frame. The lens incorporates 12 optical elements in 9 groups, including high-refractive-index and low-dispersion elements, helping to control chromatic aberration and optical distortion. The optical design is suitable for high-resolution cinema capture, making the lens a strong choice for modern digital cinema cameras and demanding commercial productions. An 11-blade rounded aperture helps produce smooth, natural-looking out-of-focus areas, allowing the lens to create attractive background separation when shooting at wider apertures.
Designed for Cinema
The Irix 150mm T3.0 is built around professional cinema workflows, with dedicated 0.8 MOD focus and iris gear rings positioned for easy integration with standard cinema accessories. The long focus rotation provides the precision required for controlled focus pulls, while the internal focusing design keeps the lens barrel from extending as focus is adjusted. The lens also features laser-engraved, UV-reactive markings, making focus and aperture markings easier to read in low-light production environments.
Sony E-Mount
This version of the Irix 150mm T3.0 is designed specifically for Sony E-mount cameras, providing compatibility with Sony’s full-frame Alpha and Cinema Line cameras equipped with an E-mount. The lens’s full-frame coverage makes it particularly well suited to cameras such as the Sony FX3, FX6, FX9, VENICE and Alpha full-frame bodies, while it can also be used on compatible Super 35 and APS-C cameras. The 150mm focal length provides a narrow, compressed perspective that can be used creatively for isolated subjects, detailed close-ups and controlled backgrounds.
Built for Professional Rigs
The lens features a 95mm front diameter for compatibility with professional matte boxes and cinema accessories, as well as an 86mm filter thread. A detachable lens support foot provides additional support when mounting the lens to larger cinema rigs and can help reduce stress on the camera mount when using follow-focus systems and other accessories.
Weather-Sealed Construction
The Irix 150mm T3.0 features weather sealing at key points of the lens barrel, providing additional protection when working in challenging production environments. This makes the lens suitable for a variety of professional applications where dust, moisture and changing environmental conditions may be encountered.
