Front filter threadIrix 15mm f/2.4 gives a possibility of using 95mm screw-in filters at the front.
Focus lockFocus lock function holds focusing ring at desired position and pre-vents from its accidental rotation. This function works perfectly for hiking and street photography.
Filter windowFor a more convenient use, petal lens hood has a moveable window that enables operating rotatable filters without removing lens hood.
Neutrino coating formulaNeutrino coating is a special formula, which is combined with several types of anti-reflective layers that provide perfect light trans-mission, high contrast and natural colors.
TECHNOLOGIES AND SOLUTIONS
Weather sealingsIrix 15mm f/2.4 lenses are made with phenomenal precision, allo-wing them to be used in even the hardest weather conditions. Each lens is equipped with a weather sealed construction that protects the interior against dust and moisture. Thanks to inner seals, our lenses are also protected from accidental water splashes.
Infinity clickWhen the focusing ring is set in the “infinity” position, there is a noticeable “click” (infinity click), making it easy to find the value without looking. This function is ideal for nightscape photography because it allows getting perfect focus at infinity without looking at focusing scale.
Rear gelatin filter slotIrix lenses are equipped with a slot for gelatin filters what increases versatility of the lens. Thanks to this fact the user has an ability of application both filters simultaneously (one in the front and the second one in the back of the lens for ex. polarizer filter in front and ND filter in the back). The size of gelatin filter slot is 30x30mm.
Electronic aperture controlElectronic aperture control simplifies the use of lens and allows to store aperture value in Exif.
Focus scale calibrationEach Irix lens that leaves the factory is properly calibrated. However, focus scale calibration function provides the unique opportunity to adjust the focus scale for a particular model of the camera.

Modern and versatile macro telephoto lens designed for full-frame high-resolution DSLR cameras. Its large aperture of f/2.8 facilitates shorter exposure times, while its modera-tely long focal length of 150mm provides an excellent compromise between the narrow viewing angle desired in advertising and portrait photography, and the convenience of hand-held photography.
The lens is equipped with an aperture mechanism consisting of 11 aperture blades with a rounded shape which provides a pleasant blur of background and points of light. In the case of studio and macro photography, this number of aperture blades makes the diffrac-tion phenomenon appear much later, which ensures a clearly greater detail of the image. The unique feature of the Irix 150mm f/2.8 lens is the 1:1 Macro reproduction ratio alre-ady available at a focusing distance of 0,345m. High precision of focusing across the entire range is ensured by a wide, rubber-coated focus ring with a rotational angle of 270°. An additional Focus Lock ring ensures that the focus position remains fixed when needed. The Irix 150mm f/2.8 Macro 1:1 uses a total of five rubber seals and a number of other improvements that further protect the interior of the lens and allows shooting in extreme weather conditions.
The lens is equiped with a detachable tripod collar ring, making it easier when needing to place the camera vertically onto the tripod in order to take portrait shots, and so providing a better balance of the camera with the attached lens.
› Lightened Aluminium internal frame
› Lightweight composite ho-using reinforced with Al-Mg alloy and anti-scratch finish
› Anti-slip coating on focusing ring
› Engraved markings covered with UV reactive paint
› Superior dust and moisture protection (5 sealings)
› Supplied with a convenient hard-case
The Dragonfly versionThe Irix 150mm f/2.8 Macro 1:1 is the first lens available in the new Dragonfly series, which combines the lightness and perfect ergonomics of the Firefly and the durable magnesium ho-using used in the Blackstone.

Irix lenses were designed with both the effort and expe-rience, of not only engineers but also photographers. Swiss precision and Korean innovation create patented solu-tions with the finest optical performance and usability.
Now based on our experience with lenses we want to intro-duce you Irix Edge Filter System lineup which was based on opinions and test done by professional photographers and made by our R&D team to get the best possible results.
The Irix Edge IFH-100 system is most compact and lightest square filter system in the world (in it’s class) which is espe-cially important with modern DSLR and mirrorless cameras.
All of the Irix Edge filters are characterized by the highest precision and optical quality to be able to meet the image quality generated by Irix and other high-end lenses.
Both surfaces of the filter are covered by the multilayer anti-reflex coating and water/oil-proof NANO coating providing with high light transmission and natural colours in any weather conditions.
Irix Edge Filter System lineup which includes: › Round Filters › Square Filters › Accessories
Filter holder › The lightest filter holder
for 100mm filters in its class › Two filter slots › Bayonet and screw-in adapters › Easy and fast attachment
IFH-100 FILTER HOLDER
The Irix EDGE IFH-100 system is a square (100mm wide) filter system that combines a maximum of compact and light design with a range of practical solutions such as ease and speed of use. The entire IFH-100 system is compatible due to dedicated adapters with all lenses with thread diameters from 52mm up to 95mm inclusive.
The Irix EDGE Square Filter Protector Set has two functions: to protect the filter against accidental damage, and to protect the edges of the filter from any light beams trying to seep through the edge of the filter, thereby improving contrast and preventing the formation of flares.

IRIX EDGE IFH-100 SQUARE FILTER SYSTEM
Anti-reflective coatingType of optical coating applied to the glass surface to reduce reflection which helps to get better contrast and colour reproduction.
Hydrophobic coatingType of NANO-coating that repels water and oil. This type of coating definitely helps to keep the surface of the filter clean.
IR-Cut coatingIR Cut coating cuts infrared light. Infrared light is invisible by the human eye but the sensors of digital cameras can still capture them, which can have a negative impact on the image.
