The Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens deal for $299 is back



Last time I posted this offer, it sold out in a few hours. The deal is live again now and here are the details:

Update: sold out again.

Irix is selling “used, like new” Irix 15mm f/2.4 Firefly lenses for Nikon F-mount for $299 on Amazon (the already discounted price is $390). I was told that these are basically brand new lenses in dirty or slightly damaged boxes (not refurbished since they were never sold before – they come with a full warranty). The lenses are fulfilled by Amazon and a return should not be a problem in case there is an issue. In case you don’t see the discounted price, click on all available options and select the Irix Lens USA listing:


Additional coverage of the Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens can be found here.

Nikon announced the development of a new 1-inch 17.84MP stacked CMOS 4k 1000 fps sensor


My server hosting company had some serious issues today, but it seems that we are back online now. Sorry for the outage, but there was not much I could do about it. I always have nikonrumors.net as a backup, but I haven’t used it since 2012.

Here is the latest: Nikon announced the development of a new 1-inch 17.84MP stacked CMOS 4k sensor that can achieve 1000 frames per second:

  • 17.84MP (4224 x 4224 pixels or 4k x 4k)
  • 1000 frames per second
  • 4K video
  • 2.7 μm pixel size
  • Manufacturing process 65 nm BSI + 65 nm CMOS Stacking process
  • The sensor achieved the industry’s highest level of HDR characteristics: 110 dB at 1000 fps and 134 dB at 60 fps

Update #1: all scheduled events can be found here (translated).
Update #2: Nikon CP+ dedicated page.
