IRIX 150mm f/2.8 Dragonfly Lens for Canon

IRIX 150mm f/2.8 Dragonfly Lens for Canon

Whether you’re a professional photographer looking for a lens for your next shoot, or an amateur looking to expand your focal range. The Irix 150mm f / 2.8 Macro 1:1 lens is a Macro lens created for your full frame (35mm) camera, and is available in Nikon F, Canon EF, and Pentax K mounts. The lens allows you to take macro photos with a 1:1 magnification ratio. When you use a camera with an APS-C sensor, due to the crop factor, the magnification ratio will increase to 1,5:1.

Creativity, your ideas, and the effort you put into each photo would be nothing without the right lens. Thanks to many years of experience in designing optics, the Irix 150mm f/2.8 Macro 1:1 was meticulously engineered for incredible sharpness. The optical design has been made to produce an extremely sharp image from f/2.8. The use of 11 rounded aperture blades results not only in extremely smooth and soft bokeh, but also in minimizing the diffraction phenomenon (decrease in resolution associated with stopping down the aperture). With further stopping down, the image sharpness further improves, which is crucial in macro photography, because we are often forced to use small aperture values to obtain a sufficiently large depth of field.

It doesn’t matter if you’re traversing the hot sands of the Sachara or covering the vast expanse of Antarctica - this lens will endure any challenge. The sealing system has been designed to protect the inside of the lens from moisture, dust, and sand. The lens is equipped with an internal focusing system, meaning it does not change its physical size during focusing. The whole body remains solid and study, and ready to operate in all conditions.

Dragonfly is a combination of reinforced metal and composite elements. This combination has resulted in an extremely durable, compact structure, which thanks to internal focusing and multiple seals, remains resistant to adverse weather conditions.

The Irix 150mm f/2.8 Macro 1:1 has a module that allows you to control the lens iris directly from the camera, thanks to which popular semi-automatic modes (PASM), and data recording in EXIF format are available.
