Does this lens autofocus?

No. It is a manual-focus cine lens with geared focus and iris rings, so you focus by hand or with a follow-focus unit.

Is it really weather-sealed?

Yes. Irix seals the lens against rain, sand and dust, which is rare among cine primes at this level.

Will it cover a full-frame sensor?

The optical design covers full-frame, but this version has a Micro Four Thirds mount, so it fits MFT cameras.

The lens and a detachable lens support foot. No caps or case are listed.

Does it match the other Irix cine lenses?

Owners say it matches the 15mm, 45mm and 150mm Irix cine lenses in look and handling, which helps on multi-camera shoots.

Is T1.5 worth it over a slower cine lens?

If you shoot in low light or want very shallow focus, yes. If you mostly shoot stopped down, a slower, lighter lens may serve you better.
