Irix 11mm F4

This is a full-frame prime lens for Nikon F and Canon EF, covering 11 mm and a maximum aperture of f/4. It weighs 730 g and is weather-sealed, and was released in 2017. That combination suits landscape and architecture photography.

It is an ultra wide-angle manual focus prime lens designed for full-frame DSLR cameras, available in Canon EF, Nikon F, and Pentax K mounts. With a 126° angle of view, it's ideal for capturing expansive landscapes, architectural structures, and interior spaces. The optical design includes four high refractive index elements, two extra-low dispersion elements, and three aspherical elements to minimize distortion and aberrations, delivering sharp and accurate images. The lens is available in two versions: 'Firefly' with a lightweight construction and 'Blackstone' with a more robust build. Both versions feature weather sealing to protect against dust and moisture, ensuring reliability in various shooting conditions.
