New Irix 15mm f/2.4 full frame lens for Nikon F mount

By [NR] admin | Published: March 19, 2016

The teaser I posted online few days ago from a new lens company called Irix was for a new 15mm f/2.4 full frame lens that will be available also for Nikon F mount:

There will be two models:

Irix Blackstone

durable Al-Mg body
engraved fluorescent markings
653g (Nikon), 685g (Canon)

“Classic design meets maximum functionality, achieving the perfect match of innovative technology. The durable aluminium and magnesium body ensures foolproof protection of your lens, even in extreme conditions. Engraved fluorescent markings enable easy operation in all lighting conditions to facilitate the perfect photo.“

Irix Firefly

ultra lightweight construction
ergonomic focusing ring
581g (Nikon), 608g (Canon)

“The same optical performance and high quality mechanism as the Blackstone, but implemented in a lightweight and handy design. Whether you sail, hike, drive or fly, the Irix Firefly 15mm f/2.4 will make your journey extraordinary.”

Here are the details – first, the technical specifications:

Christmas in Qatar with the Nikon D7100 by Jeremiah Gilbert (website | 500px):

Qatar is a sovereign country occupying the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Its sole land border is with Saudi Arabia to the south, with the rest of its territory surrounded by the Persian Gulf. A strait in the Persian Gulf separates Qatar from the nearby island of Bahrain. The country also shares sea borders with the United Arab Emirates and Iran.
