Enhance your photography experience with the Irix 45mm f/1.4 Dragonfly Lens for Nikon F, a versatile and high-performing lens that offers a unique alternative to the traditional 35mm and 50mm focal lengths. This lens is perfect for both professional photographers seeking precision and amateurs looking to expand their lens collection. The Irix 45mm f/1.4 lens is particularly popular among astrophotography enthusiasts, delivering sharp, clean images when paired with cameras like the Nikon D810. Its fast aperture and smooth bokeh effects make it an excellent choice for capturing stunning night skies or creating beautiful depth-of-field effects in your portraits. One of the standout features of this lens is the Focus Lock, which allows you to lock the focus ring at a specific position. This feature is invaluable for landscape photography, repetitive shooting, or when maintaining a specific distance from your subject is crucial, such as in-studio or street photography. The Irix 45mm f/1.4 lens also boasts a specially designed focus ring, inspired by the positive response from users of the Irix 150mm f/2.8 1:1 Macro lens. This focus ring is crafted from a durable material that offers excellent resistance to various weather conditions. Its special embossing ensures comfort and ease of use, making focusing a breeze. Designed to perform in any lighting or atmospheric condition, this lens features laser-engraved focus and aperture markings filled with UV-reactive paint, ensuring readability even in low-light situations. The Irix weather sealing technology further enhances the lens's reliability, safeguarding the lens interior and camera sensor from dust and moisture. The Irix 45mm f/1.4 lens is part of the Dragonfly series, which combines robust metal components with lightweight composite materials for a durable yet comfortable handling experience. The lens is weather-sealed at key points and features an internal focusing mechanism, maintaining its compact size regardless of the shooting conditions. In conclusion, the Irix 45mm f/1.4 Dragonfly Lens for Nikon F is a versatile, durable, and high-performing lens that offers a unique focal length, making it a valuable addition to any photographer's gear.

The lens is razor sharp. At F1.4 the depth of field is paper thin. I use " catch in focus" method and the firmness of the focusing barrel is a plus IMO. It's heavy and well built, and the balance was good with my K-1. I'm an old 2 1/4 film shooter so I'm used to working at a slower pace and manually focusing. If you are in a hurry I can not recommend. If you are patient and like to craft your images in camera, you will be very pleased.

Irix 45mm F1.4 old school sharpness.

Lens is phenomenal for astrophotography. Not as wide as some would like but still phenomenal. Paired with my Nixon D810 images are sharp and clean. Very well built and heavy lens for the price. You can't beat it for a 500 dollar lens.
