    Completely agree. Irix lenses are heavily underrated. We use them on our corporate shoots like you mentioned (21mm and 45mm to be exact) on OG RED Komodos. The clinical look can be messed around with in post, and also mentioning with the REDs, the minor color shift between the two can be matched after filming. For a little over $1K each, you can't beat the quality per dollar, and when we researched them awhile back our team was surprised how little information was out about these lenses. Thanks for adding one to that brother, keep 'em coming.

    I've been using the 30mm and 45mm for over a year, they're fantastic. I had the Meike 50mm before but wanted something just a bit wider, and the Irix is faster too. I bought Irix's magnetic VND specifically for their lenses and it works great too

    Been using the 15mm for over a year, love the tank like build quality, weather proofing and clean image. But for me the focus action is a bit too stiff. It results in more wobble handheld than the equivalent Vespid if using without a follow focus. I wish mine was that little bit looser/smoother, more like the iris, which is nice. It's like they got them dialled the wrong way round (at least on the lens I have).

    I know they cover full frame, but i think their focal lengths are aimed at s35 sensors. When you multiply them by the crop factor of an apsc camera they are more normal.

    • @KofiYeboah
      @KofiYeboah  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Idk, if s35 is around 1.33, the 21 is like a 28, and the 45 is like 60 which are strange too 😅

      @@KofiYeboah i guess I mean apsc crop?... 1.5x. So the 11mm would be closer to a 16mm, the 15 is close to a 24, 30 is close to a 50, 45 isn't quite 85mm - but that was my point.

    Oh wow, you use a lot of cine lenses. Great video and character you have on Camera
    Finally looks around your channel. IRIX might be the lens I get. I am looking for a bit softer with a bit of flaring without the use of filters with proper focus gears that don't drift unlike the Fujifilm lenses that drift. I use Dehancer when I want add bloom, grain onto a clean image. If not use to filters it can sometimes be risky. I work with an actor that pays me to film, edit and take care of the audio. Sure my X-S20 isn't a major work horse but I can get some good footage despite being cheaper, actually kind of fun to use camera (with updated firmware, use to have some nasty issues).
