Introduced in January, the IRIX Cine 21mm T1.5 is now officially on the market. But can this wide-angle keep up with the big kids?
IRIX is an interesting lens company. The lenses are produced in Korea, with support from a Polish company, and the whole thing is based out of Switzerland.
Each of these countries has produced some solid engineering marvels, and the IRIX Cine line attempts to capture that pedigree. But does it succeed?
The IRIX Cine Line
With the recent addition of the 21mm T1.5, the entire IRIX Cine Lens set expands to six lenses, covering an interesting selection of focal lengths.
This includes an 11mm T4.3, a 15mm T2.6, the new 21mm T1.5, a 30mm T1.5, the 45mm T1.5, and the 150mm T3.0 Macro. Oddly enough, a traditional 50mm isn’t on this list. Since IRIX is still releasing new cine lenses, we might see an 85mm and 50mm bridging the gap between wide and telephoto.
