Lens Overview — IBE Optics 150mm T2.9 Macro

The IBE Optics Raptor 150mm T2.9 Macro Cine Lens is a manual-focus prime lens built for the demands of professional cinema production. Sitting in the telephoto focal length range at a fixed 150mm, it opens to a maximum aperture of T2.9, offering a solid combination of reach and light-gathering capability for a dedicated macro cine lens. Designed around a Super 35 image circle and fitted with a PL Mount, it slots naturally into established cinema camera ecosystems.

The manual focus design aligns with professional cine workflows where precise, repeatable focus pulls are standard practice. Autofocus is not part of the design, and image stabilization is absent, as expected for a lens of this type intended for use on rigged cinema setups. A 95mm front filter thread accommodates standard cinema matte box solutions and screw-in filters.

At 2,200g, the lens carries a substantial build consistent with professional cine glass, making proper lens support a practical consideration on any rig. The macro classification indicates a close-focus capability purpose-built for detailed, life-size or near-life-size reproduction in a cinematic context. For cinematographers working in the Super 35 format who need a dedicated telephoto macro prime with a PL Mount, the Raptor 150mm T2.9 presents a focused, professionally oriented option.
