Birding in Antarctic waters by Jonathan Björklund (Website | Instagram):
With the on-going discussion about the future of Nikon, let’s not forget that the current cameras and lenses are great tools. I surely hope Nikon gets back on the right track, and in the meantime I spend my time out in the field with my fantastic Nikon gear, you should too! Anyhow, long story short.
Over the past three years I have been to Antarctica two times. One time as a photography tourist, on board the smallest vessel operating in Antarctica, and one time as an expedition guide and photographer, on board the biggest vessel operating in Antarctica. Before embarking to Antarctica, I have visited both south Argentina and Chile.
Irix officially announced their 11mm f/4 full frame lens for Nikon F mount. Additional information, including press release, MTF charts, specifications and pictures can be found over at PhotoRumors.
Irix lenses can be purchased at Amazon US, Amazon UK, Amazon DE and Amazon IT. In the next few weeks I will be getting some discount codes for all Irix products, so stay tuned.
