[@diyphotography]

[@JohnAldred]

Their range is shaping up nicely. Hopefully soon we'll get something around 24mm and 85mm to go with 'em! :)

[@diyphotography]

yea, it definitely looks like they are putting more focus on R&D and market needs.

[@gerthenriksen8818]

Thanks, great review. Other reviewers, though, have pointed out a less than stellar sharpness with this lens?

[@JacksonLourdusamy]

Dude, I’m following this quite for sometime. Will this go well with BMPCC 6K?

[@biskero]

is there a technical difference between the imperial and metric or is just labeling?

[@diyphotography]

Labeling only

[@biskero]

@@diyphotography that's what I though but I never had a cine lens, found a good deal at 800 euro

[@RAWexchange-de]

Finally, this looks very promising! I won’t miss the flares :-)

[@diyphotography]

Haha. Sorry, we just love a good flare with lots of character

[@freddymiguelponce]

Great video! First time in your channel. If you allow me one question please I'm planning to make training videos for my clients (recorded and live). I think the camera l'll use is the BMPCC6K G2. Al the videos will be shoot in a home studio and the type of video will be something like your video. I was considering the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Lens for Canon EF but saw your video and you made me hesitate, Maybe one of the IRIX cine lens would be the best choice? Would be really great if you could give your opinion about this! Thanks in advance and sorry for my English; I'm still learning Have a Productive and Healthy Day!

Hey thanks for the nice review ! Can you update one video for compare the focal between 30mm and 45mm? I have 45mm so I want to know if 30mm is wide enough to go with 45mm, or I should wait 20mm

[@diyphotography]

Well, we don't know if a 20mm (or a 21mm) is on the way. Anyways, here is some 45mm footage for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6m0pXuYjpdjlac

[@KendallChristiansonYT]

Irix needs to make like a 22mm T2 and an 80mm T1.5 The reason I pick those focal lengths is because I can totally see them chasing those for their lineups lol. But if they go that way, man they could dominate the market. Just wish their focus Rings were smoother though.

[@_rhapsodist]

the 21mm T1.5 just came out ;)

[@etgalim]

Finally! I waited for this one to complete the set. I love that they opted for a 30mm and not a 35mm. I also share the flare disappointment, but I can live without it.

[@diyphotography]

Yea, 35mm is not the trivial choice, but I am happy they gave us those extra 5mm.

[@Artfulscience1]

And the 21 today!

[@TheOphirpeleg]

IRIX is doing great job! hope the next lens will be 85mm

[@diyphotography]

I sure hope so too. The wide side is pretty much covered. We'll update as we know more. Stay tuned!

[@westwolf117]

Seeing the current trend of Irix's focal lengths, it will probably be closer to 65mm

[@udijw]

@@westwolf117 if they continue the same trend then yes. I hope that they take a small break and invest some effort on the longer side of the range. One can hope :)

[@westwolf117]

@@udijw It may be just me but I'm hoping for a 21mm as well

[@ondrejjanoska660]

As you said …..lets wait for 85mm ☺️

[@zoanyway]

Until they release something in the 75-90mm range, this is not a set. Hopefully that's next.

[@JapaneseMonster]

A lot of praise with hardly any negatives. Very sceptable about IRIX sponsoring this. This video does not look good to me. To showcase an 8K cinema lens, it probably needs to be done on an 8K camera and exported in DNxHR 12bit 444 then uploaded to KZbin so we can see how sharp the lens can get.

[@patlecat]

Actually Irix should make a 65mm to match the 45mm.

[@frankfarago2825]

Excuse me, but... was this an UNBIASED PRODUCT REVIEW? Or a PAID INFOMERCIAL? 'Cause it surely sounded like the latter.
