Pros: Focal length, 95mm (slim) filters, design, price

Cons: Difficulty in obtaining a decent copy, continuous defects, infinitely useless clicks as they need to be calibrated (fortunately you can), unusable focus lock

Opinion: I have owned this lens for both Canon and Sony. Unfortunately, running into a bad copy is very easy with Irix. When you get the decent copy, however, there are few rivals. Being able to use a screw filter on a 15mm is a lot, a lot, a lot of stuff especially for those who also want to do IR photography. The idea of the infinite click is nice, if it weren't for the fact that the infinity focus is not really at infinity that marks the ring. However, the Sony version (I don't remember the Canon version) has the ability to calibrate the focus to infinity using a small screwdriver. The focus lock is unusable: turning the ring to lock the focus it is inevitable to turn the focus ring as well. Unfortunately, the packaging leaves something to be desired, the lens almost always arrives damaged. On my return request I was told "The missing paint on the focus ring is also due to the packaging (this part is the one that bumps the most against the cardboard when the lens moves during transport), although it is usually not so noticeable. I don't think we will be able to find one without any trace. Irix should probably use plastic bags for these lenses. On the other hand, I don't feel like they've ever had packaging that didn't cause problems so far, and we're talking about five different types of boxes and inserts across the range." I don't think there is any need to add anything else. Anyway, I bought it at a 50% discount from their site for just € 300 with a nice cup for free. All in all, you can't expect much more. Is it worth it? In my opinion, yes. I will use it exclusively as a photography lens with filter (IR, ND, Polarizer) in which I can afford to have a lens that is not perfect.

Pros: Distortion, sharpness, weight, infinitely adjustable focus, cost, possibility to mount filters in front.

Cons: Almost non-existent assistance in case of problems

Opinion: Reading other reviews I came up with an idea that there is no in-depth control of the optics by the manufacturer. In mine I do not find major defects in the optics, yes a bit of vignetting, but already at F4 you almost can not see (let's not forget that it is a 15mm). He had, after some time, a communication problem with the camera and assistance (from Poland) was fugitive, luckily as a smanettone I managed to fix it. All in all, I feel lucky to have him in my glass. Given my specimen I would like to highly recommend it for astrophotography and landscaping but unfortunately it is not known a priori what problems you arrive with given the other reviews.

Pros: Construction, design, weight, price, very little distortion

Cons: Impossible focus, low sharpness, blue dominants, poor sharpness accompanied by a strange distortion on the right corner below.

Opinion: Lho used on canon and Sony with mc11. On canon apsc almost satisfactory result. On sony, let's forget it. But I was surprised by the interior photos. Bought new and resold after a year at 200€... I'm not a professional, but I notice it when the stuff is scarce. It's not good even with the original irix polarizer. I just learned my :p little expense.

Pros: Construction, infinite click, infinite adjustment, lockable window on lampshade to rotate filters, focus lock, f2.4, possibility of front screw and rear jelly filters, little distortion, good flare handling.

Cons: Nothing special.

Opinion: I have the Firefly version, made of plastic but built very well. It is a lens that is seen to have been designed on the basis of the needs of those who make landscape and astrophotography. Infinite click and adjustable infinity allow you to focus on infinity without looking (in the dark, for example); the maf ring has a bulge that allows a safe grip even with heavy gloves (useful for those who take photos in the cold!); The maf block allows you not to inadvertently lose the correct maf, perhaps by screwing an ND1000 filter to the lens after focusing without; The lampshade has an opening and resealable window to rotate a polarizing filter without removing the lampshade itself; You can use filters to the front screw (95mm,a bloodletting, but less than the slab ones) and rear jellies; the firefly version is also tropicalized (albeit with a few less seals). The price used is even more tempting than the new one. A lens for me really well thought out and carefully crafted. The image quality is very good, with excellent sharpness in the center and also at the edges if you close to f5.6-f11 (as you use to do in landscape). At the corners the coma is up to f3.5, then it goes much better, considering that it is a 15mm you can think of cropping away the worst corners in pp. I vignette abundantly up to f5.6, but it is in the norm for a 15mm f2.4 and honestly corrects itself in a click in pp. It distorts little on ff, with simple cushion distortion, even here with two clicks goes into place. The conclusion that this lens leads me to synthesize is: probably the ergonomics of use and some simple found in certain photographic areas count as much as the quality of the image, because it is definitely better to take photos in focus with an Irix taking advantage of the block of the maf dive or adjusting in the field (maybe at - 20 degrees, that a little stand the calibration of the maf) the scale of infinity, rather than taking out-of-focus photos with a Zeiss Batis because you do not realize that you have a little moved the maf guineas by screwing a filtr or ND1000. All at a price that is clearly palatable. Good Irix!

Pros: Screw Filters-sharpness-No Distortion

Cons: If you shoot in backlight can occur in photos the presence of flare that can safely be removed in the development phase

Opinion: I own this lens from April 2018 that I use as wide angle on my Nikon D750. Unlike the APS-C universe, in the Full Frame world, there are very few and rare wide-angle lenses that don't force you to assemble holder and bulky, delicate and very expensive slab filters, and that's why I chose the Irix 15 f/2.4. Probably not everyone knows that this lens is produced in two versions: Blackstone and Firefly. I chose the Firefly version. The differences between the two are as follows: The Blackstone costs more because it consists of more robust and heavier material, it is tropicalized to 100% and has phosphorescent numbers. The Firefly is cheaper and is made of lighter material, and tropicalization is partial. The lens group is exactly the same. I never go out to photograph in extreme weather situations, and for this reason I chose the Firefly. I am fully satisfied with the sharpness. I do not notice any particular coma at the edges and especially if I put the machine in bubble, the classic wide angle barrel distortions are almost absent. Those minimal distortions that can occur are easily arranged in post production, same thing with regard to the possible presence of flare. In my gallery I have several photographs made with Nikon D750 + irix 15 f/2.4 that you can go to examine. As filters for this magnificent lens I have a polarizer of nisi and a ND 1000 always of nisi. I forgot to tell you that these IRIX lenses can also fit some small jelly filters applicable on the back, but I have not had a way to try because I prefer the classic screw filters. P.S.: When I mount the 2 screw filters one on the other, first the polarizer and then the ND, there is a vignetting that however I go to eliminate in the development phase. I think I said it all.
