Irix has announced two new lenses. Sort of. The lenses are new versions of their popular Irix 15mm f/2.4 (buy here) and 150mm f/2.8 Macro (buy here) lenses for Sony E mount mirrorless cameras. No longer do you need to deal with DSLR mount converters.

The company says that the new Irix 15mm f/2.4 and 150mm f/2.8 Macro lenses for Sony E mount are complete redesigns. The two lenses feature Irix’s Dragonfly finish, which means they’re made from magnesium alloy and high-quality composite materials. They’re also very durable and weather resistant.

The IRIX 15mm f/2.4 lens we first introduced you to back in March at The Photography Show is now available to order. The first shipments of both Blackstone and Firefly versions of the lens are on their way to distributors and retailers throughout Europe. Unfortunately, folks in the USA will have to wait a little while longer before they see them cross the Atlantic.

Swiss lens makers, IRIX have released two versions of hte lens. There’s the 695EUR Blackstone, and the 475EUR Firefly. Both versions contain the same optics, but the more expensive Blackstone also features a solid alloy housing and better weather sealing. The Firefly has a plastic housing, so that lower budget shooters can still get their hands on one.
