Irix has announced a promotion for the Irix 11mm F4 Blackstone lens. There is a cashback of $100. As a reminder, the price for this lens is $649 on Bhphotovideo.com and Adorama.com online stores.
The Irix 11mm F4 Blackstone Lens is wide-angle prime lens for full-frame DSLRs. The lens has a rugged design and is available in versions for Canon EF, Nikon F, and Pentax K.
The 126 ° FOV lens is unique as it has only 3.13% curvilinear distortion on a full-frame sensor. In the optical design of the lens, 16 elements are used, located in 10 groups, and a nine-blade diaphragm.
The Blackstone lens is made from an aluminum-magnesium alloy with an engraved fluorescent mark that is easy to read in the dark and has an anti-scratch coating. Electrical contacts allow users to control the aperture values that are passed to EXIF.
