About IRIX 21mm f/1.4

Make your photography stand out with the Irix 21mm f/1.4 Dragonfly Lens for Nikon F, a superior wide-angle lens designed for capturing stunning landscapes, night skies, and architectural marvels. This lens is fully compatible with both Full Frame and APS-C Nikon F Cameras, ensuring sharp, high-resolution images with every click.

The optical construction of the Irix 21mm f/1.4 lens is a masterpiece of engineering, featuring 4 ultra-low dispersion glass elements, 4 high refractive, and 2 aspherical elements, arranged in 15 elements across 11 optical blocks. This intricate design caters to the latest generation, full-frame 35mm sensors, delivering high-resolution images with minimal distortion, which is kept under 2%.

The lens's large relative aperture of f/1.4, combined with well-controlled coma, makes it an ideal choice for astrophotography. The new, 11-blade design of the aperture with rounded edges ensures a pleasant and very artistic bokeh, adding depth and character to your shots.

Built for the outdoors, the Irix 21mm f/1.4 lens boasts excellent weather-sealing to protect against dust and water, making it a reliable companion for professional photographers working in challenging conditions. The lens also comes with a dedicated lens hood to reduce unwanted light reflections and a hard case for safe storage.

The Dragonfly finish of the lens features a reinforced internal construction based on metal elements, a scratch-resistant finish, and an anti-slip focusing ring with a special finish for easy focusing. The engraved markings filled with UV reactive paint add a touch of sophistication to the lens.

The intelligent lens design of the Irix 21mm f/1.4 includes a module that allows you to control the lens' iris directly from the camera. This feature enables popular semi-automatic modes (PASM), and data recording in EXIF format. The lens also comes equipped with a focus confirmation system, ensuring perfect focus every time.

The Focus Lock Ring is a unique feature that allows you to lock the focus ring in a specific position, ideal for maintaining a specific distance to the subject or perfect focus on infinity during landscape or night photography. The ergonomic focus ring, a hallmark of the Irix 150mm, 45mm, or 30mm lenses, offers reliable and precise focusing, making manual focus easier than ever.

In summary, the Irix 21mm f/1.4 Dragonfly Lens for Nikon F is a versatile, high-quality lens that delivers exceptional performance in a wide range of photography scenarios.
