I have seen a few blends that look a bit too HDR like for my tastes. Definitely going to check out that Irix lens after your glowing review. I'm in the market to replace my aging 14mm Sammy, so it could be the one.

It was VERY difficult to blend and I had almost given up. Then I gave Photoshop's blend tool a go and it worked.
I am trying out Topaz remask as I have read its great for making accurate masks for the sky/landscape section.
This one was needlessly harder as well because the landscape was with the Irix 15 and the sky was with the Zeiss Loxia 21mm.
For $587 the Irix Firefly 15mm F2.4 is hard to beat. The click stop at Infinity focus is worth it by itself.
