Ultra-Ultrawide Irix 15mm f:2.4 Blackstone lens - Canon EF Mount.
This is a new & unused first prize I won last year in the international "Save a Star" competition. (I'm now listing this lens alone as the shooter kit has been sold.)
Irix 15mm f:2.4 Blackstone lens - Canon EF Mount.
Ken Rockwell says...
"This manual-focus Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens has superb optics, easily equal or better than the larger, older and more expensive Zeiss 15mm f/2.8. It may be the sharpest fixed ultra-ultrawide lens I've ever tested. It's ultrasharp and contrasty and devoid of spherical aberration and lateral colour throughout the whole image, even wide-open at f/2.4"
Offering a wide-angle perspective and characterized by its premium exterior build, the 15mm f/2.4 Blackstone Lens from Irix is a sophisticated prime lens designed for Canon EF-mount cameras. Benefitting the broad field of view is an advanced optical design that features aspherical, low-dispersion, and high-refractive index glass elements to control various aberrations and distortions and maintain accurate and consistent colour. A Neutrino coating is also utilized to control lens flare and ghosting and achieve high contrast and colour fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.
Complementing the optics, this 15mm f/2.4 uses a manual focus design for fine-tuned control and incorporates a unique positive focus lock to secure the focusing position at any point for consistent, repeatable shooting. As the Blackstone version of this focal length, this lens is also distinguished by an aluminium and magnesium alloy exterior, engraved lens markings with fluorescent UV paint for high visibility, and extensive weather-sealing about the lens to permit working in harsh environments.
The Irix 15mm is offered in two varieties: 'Blackstone' and 'Firefly. ' This Irix Blackstone features a magnesium and aluminum body able to withstand 'extreme conditions,' while the Irix Firefly model is, according to the company, the lightest lens in its class.
