Irix Announces High Resolution 15mm f/2.4 Lens for Nikon, Canon & Pentax
Product Summary
- Model name: Irix 15mm f/2.4
- Release Date: 18 March 2016
- Focus Type: Manual
- Format : Full Frame
- Mounts: Canon | Nikon | Pentax K
- Color: Black
- Availability: Spring 2016
- Price: TBA
Key features
- Ultra wide angle Manual lens with click stop focusing ring
- Minimum focusing distance 0.92 ft
- 9 blade rounded aperture
- Two design variation Blackstone & Firefly
- High resolution optics
Meet the Irix 15mm f/2.4. The photographers dream. Built by engineers and perfected by designers.The new ultra wide-angle, rectilinear manual lens designed for DSLR cameras guarantees exceptional optical performance.
The Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens is designed to deliver the best optical performance and match full frame DSLR cameras demands. Providing a focal length of 15mm, this new lens model is ideal for outdoor and indoor photography whether it is photojournalism, landscapes or architecture.
From 19 to 22 March, during The Photography Show in Birmingham, TH Swiss will be premiering new family of lenses. Visit Irix at Stand No F121.
Innovative technology
Combining capabilities specific to analogue photography with ingenious technology and solutions, the Irix 15mm f/2.4 is the perfect tool for both professionals and hobbyists. The new special features such as focus lock, infinity click and hyperfocal scale set a new level of manual lens functionality. Focus lock enables to lock the focus ring at any time ensuring the chosen settings. Hyperfocal distance scale gives information about the accessible range for depth of field for a given aperture simply and intuitively. When the focusing ring is set in the “infinity” position, there is a noticeable “click” (infinity click), making it easier to find the value without looking.
Extraordinary optical performance
The Irix 15mm f/2.4 meets the most demanding requirements of modern cameras. Thanks to sophisticated optical construction and special neutrino coating, colour aberration, ghosting and flare effects have been reduced to the absolute minimum, so the lens is ready to meet the requirements of the 50+ megapixel sensors of the newest cameras.
The complex optical system consist of 15 elements in 11 groups. Three of the lens elements have a high refractive index and two others have been made from extra-low dispersion glass. The construction also contains two glass aspherical lenses that are responsible for extremely high image quality and improving image brightness at edges, while minimizing distortions and aberrations at the same time.
With a minimum focusing distance of 0.28 metre and 9 rounded shaped aperture blades, the lens stands for supremely smooth out-of-focus areas. Working with a narrow depth of field it allows the user to fully enjoy the bokeh effect.
Resistant to extreme conditions
Irix 15mm f/2.4 lenses are made with extreme precision, allowing them to be used in even the harshest weather conditions. Each lens is equipped with a weather sealed construction that protects the interior against dust and moisture. Thanks to inner seals they are also protected from accidental water splashes.
Prepare for more and create
Despite its short focal length and large aperture, the Irix 15mm f/2.4 is equipped with not only a front filter mount, but also has a rear gelatin filter slot. The design of the lens allows the use of 95 mm screw-in filters at the front in the petal-shape lens hood and gelatin filters at the back of the lens. This ensures unlimited possibilities for image creation.
Personalize your view
For the comfort of our customers Irix has created two versions of the Irix 15mm f/2.4 to meet their personality and individual taste.
Irix Blackstone: classic design meets maximum functionality, achieving the perfect match of innovative technology. The durable aluminium and magnesium body ensures foolproof protection of your lens, even in extreme conditions. Engraved fluorescent markings that reflect the light enable easy operation in all lighting conditions.
Irix Firefly: high quality mechanism in a handy design. Ergonomic focusing ring offers the freedom to capture the most ideal moment, whether it is big city architecture or wildlife scenery. The most lightweight lens in its class. Challenge accepted.
Irix Swiss Design
Irix Swiss Design stands for minimalism in style while maintaining maximum functionality. It is a perfect mixture of European design combined with Korean precision. The same look and feel of all products in the Irix family. The same consistency, product packaging and complementary elements, all perfectly shaped and fitting one another.
Ultimate precision
Each Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens leaving the factory has been properly calibrated. However, the focus calibration function provides the unique opportunity to adjust the focusing scale for a particular model of camera.

Understanding EXIF data and how it can help us do better photography
Today, we shall be delving into what EXIF data is and why it matters to budding photographers. EXIF data has been used by many amateur photographers trying to get a hang of digital photography. It helps them to master the settings and controls of their camera. If you go through the EXIF of your entire collection, you will be surprised to note how a majority of them appears to be taken at the same focal length or at the same ISO. The ones that you consider are trash would often be around same specs as well.
The first thing that we should know is what EXIF stands for. It is an abbreviation of Exchangeable Image File. This is actually a large amount of information that your camera records along with the image and saves it on the memory card. It is quite simple to access that information as well. On a Windows computer simply right click on the image and go to ‘Properties’. If you are on a Mac click on ‘Get Info’. Another way to access the information is to access it using a photo editing tool like Photoshop.
What are the details that are available in EXIF data? – EXIF data includes information such as aperture value, shutter speed, exposure compensation, ISO, camera make and model, height and width of the picture, metering mode used, color representation, focal length, date the image was taken and a whole lot of other information depending on the camera make and model. Numerous modern digital cameras also come with GPS systems which burn the exact location data on to the image.
Why EXIF data is helpful for budding photographers? – imagine you are trying your hand for the very first time on a DSLR. You are unable to determine the right combination of aperture and shutter speed for your camera for a given amount of light. Other times you may be unsure why going for a higher ISO such as 800 in low light is creating noise in your pictures. Again you could be experimenting with motion blur on a slower shutter speed and yet be confused why the images are turning up overexposed. You will obviously try to make adjustments and shoot repeatedly. Instead of deleting the pictures that did not turn out well use a photo editing tool to analyze them.
Examining the EXIF data can give you valuable insights as to what changes you are having in the image quality when you implement the different settings. It also allows you to experiment with the settings and keep changing them till you start to associate each change in the settings with the resulting change in the picture quality. It is an important part of photography to shoot images, not always to achieve prize winning results but to keep experimenting and keep getting better. It is one of the most practice intensive professions out there and analyzing EXIF data analysis is definitely one of the best ways to approach it. Needless to say it also allows you to fine tune till you start taking better pictures by making calculations such as shutter time, aperture, ISO and even the kind of neutral density filters to use on the fly when shooting in different lighting conditions. It helps you basically to have better grasp at the technical aspects of photography so that you can compose a perfect picture in basically any lighting condition.

New LEE 15-Stop Super Stopper ND Filter
LEE Filters NEW Super Stopper Available for 100mm, SW150 and Sev5n.
With its 15 stops of light-reducing power, the Super Stopper sits at the top of the Stopper family, joining the Big and Little Stoppers in the long-exposure photography revolution.
The Super Stopper is designed for use in bright conditions, during the middle of the day – a time that’s traditionally considered unsuitable for photography because of the harsh, contrasty nature of the light. However, with the Super Stopper filter fitted, the softness that arises from any movement contrasts pleasingly with any areas of bright light, creating an effect rarely seen in photography before now.
Like all the filters in the Stopper family, the Super Stopper is constructed from the high-quality optical glass and is supplied in a metal case for protection. It has only a minimal colour cast that is easily corrected in post production.
The exposure guide chart to the right allows you to find out the extremes to which photographers can now take their long exposures.
