Lens Overview — IBE Optics 60mm T2.9

The IBE Optics Raptor 60mm T2.9 Macro is a prime cinema lens built for the Super 35 format and designed around the demands of professional motion picture work. With a fixed focal length of 60mm and a maximum aperture of T2.9, this lens sits in the standard focal length range while offering macro capability — making it a versatile tool for close-up cinematic work. It is mounted via PL Mount, the industry-standard fitting for professional cinema cameras, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of high-end cinema rigs.

Focus is entirely manual, which is the norm on set where focus pullers rely on precise, repeatable control rather than autofocus systems. The lens covers the Super 35 sensor format, one of the most common formats in professional film and television production. Weighing in at 1,750g, it carries a substantial build typical of cinema-grade optics, contributing to stability on a matte box or follow focus rig.

The 95mm filter thread accommodates standard cinema filter systems. With no image stabilization — again, standard for cinema lenses — the Raptor 60mm T2.9 Macro is a purpose-built tool for controlled production environments where the camera's own stabilization or rigging handles movement.
