(From Panasonic lens literature)

Featuring a focal length from 14mm to 50mm (35mm equivalent: 28mm to 100mm), the new LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT 14-50mm/f2.8-3.5 lens is the first interchangeable lens from Leica developed exclusively for digital SLR cameras. The "D" signifies that it is designed for the new digital system.

The partnership between Leica and Panasonic has resulted in rigorous quality standards for the development and manufacturing of this interchangeable lens, so that the technology and expertise of Leica Camera and Panasonic will be integrated at their highest levels. Both Panasonic and Leica Camera AG are confident that the results of their cooperative efforts will be successful and highly evaluated by customers.

The LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT lens comprises 16 elements in 12 groups, including two aspherical lenses. It provides high definition image rendering that conveys even the finest details and nuances. It minimizes distortion and peripheral vignetting at the wide end. And to draw the best optical performance out of this compact lens, a large-diameter aspherical glass molded lens is also incorporated. With the LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT, users can now experience the unique performance of Leica optical technology in the world of digital photography.





For use in Panasonic's LUMIX cameras, the LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT 14-50mm f/2.8-3.5 ASPH lens incorporates MEGA O.I.S. Developed entirely by Panasonic, this advanced optical image stabilization system makes it possible - without using a tripod - to capture clear, beautiful images even in macro shooting or low-lit situations, giving users more shooting flexibility. And to assure precise control over the MEGA O.I.S., the Venus Engine is integrated into the lens unit. Together with the full-time Live View function, these two important features make the DMC-L1 (also being introduced) a digital SLR camera that offers an entirely new kind of photographic experience.

To improve operating ease, there is an aperture ring in addition to the focus ring and zoom ring, giving users more intuitive aperture adjustment. Another distinctive L1 feature is the shutter speed dial on the camera body. Thanks to features like these, the L1 offers a more comfortable and enjoyable shooting experience than conventional digital SLR cameras.

The LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT 14-50mm/f2.8-3.5 ASPH is not simply a standard interchangeable lens for digital SLR cameras, but rather an exclusive one with features such as MEGA O.I.S. and an aperture ring. Mega O.I.S. has 2 modes, plus On/Off. Mode 1 continually corrects so you can see the image clearly on the LCD monitor. Mode 2 corrects at the instant you press the shutter button, so the corrective effect is greater (Mode 1 supported on all Four-Thirds bodies. Mode 2 only supported on Panasonic bodies.)

Leica Camera AG and Panasonic affirm their commitment to developing innovative, high-performance lenses that meet the latest demands in today's evolving digital era.

This G Series lens is characterized by a notably stylish build and sophisticated optics, making it a go-to single-lens choice for everyday walk-around shooting. Matched Set of Compact Primes ● All lenses prioritize a compact profile with an emphasis on intuitive handling; each features a manual aperture ring along with other tactile controls. ● The three lenses share the same 49mm filter ring diameter. ● Matched aluminum finish with stylish focal length and aperture engravings, both aperture and focusing rings, and matching metal lens hoods. G Lens Series ● Two aspherical elements promote more uniform sharpness across the frame by suppressing spherical aberrations and distortions. ● One extra-low dispersion glass element controls color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color fidelity. ● Rounded 7-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when employing selective focus techniques. Focus Control for Stills and Video ● Two linear motors deliver quick and accurate autofocus performance, along with capable subject tracking for working with fast-moving subjects. This AF system is also especially quiet to suit its use for cine applications. ● Internal focusing design limits the overall length of the lens for faster, more responsive focusing. ● Linear Response manual focus control offers more natural handling and an AF/MF switch is located on the lens barrel for tactile control over this setting. ● Customizable focus hold buttons are present on the lens barrel for intuitive tactile control and rapid access to select settings. ● Impressive close-up performance for working with close-up subjects; this lens has a minimum focusing distance of 12.2" with MF (13.8" with AF), which results in a 0.21x maximum magnification.

Irix 15mm f2.4 Ultra Wide-Angle Lens for Nikon F Mount, Weather-Sealed

Irix 15mm f2.4 Ultra Wide-Angle Lens for Nikon F Mount, Weather-Sealed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzaBoZASJwk Swiss design. Made in Korea. Used lens with two original caps, ILH-15A Hoos, Warranty Card, Irix Soft Case, Irix Metal Box, Irix Box. https://irixlens.com/photo-lenses/15mm/ Fully tested in excellent condition. S/n: last photo. Perfectly working order! Irix 15mm f/2.4 Firefly Lens for Nikon The Irix 15mm Firefly is a manual, super-wide-angle lens that allows you to include much more of the scene for a greater sense of space and incredible effects. It's the perfect lens for landscape, architectural and even interior photography. This versatile lens will adapt to every situation and the results are impressive, to say the least. Ergonomic focusing ring which incorporates a convenient click-stop for the infinity setting The built-in hyperfocal distance scale gives you precise information about the depth of field for each shot An innovative focus lock lets you easily set the focus anywhere on the scale and keep it there for consistently repeatable results and to help avoid focus drift With a minimum focusing distance of 11.02" (0.28m), you can get in close to your subjects for great wide-angle effects Neutrino coating for minimal ghosting, chromatic aberration and flare, with maximum sharpness and contrast 15 elements in 11 groups for extremely high image quality Focus lock allowing you to lock the chosen setting at any time Weather sealed construction resists the elements for use in the harshest conditions Hyperfocal distance scale for precise information about depth of field Clearly-labeled infinity position for the focus ring with a noticeable "click" to make it easy to find, even in the dark Minimum focus distance of 11.02" (0.28m) Ergonomic focus ring for faster focus 9 rounded diaphragm blades for a beautiful bokeh effect Irix has created the Firefly lens with a weather-resistant exterior and inner seals, so you can use it in all weather conditions. Thanks to this construction, your Firefly lens is protected from accidental water splashes, rain, snow, dust and other airborne particles. This makes it the perfect glass for photographers who need to work in all possible conditions. Perfect for night photography Night photography is not only interesting but also highly rewarding – it allows you to easily create eye-catching images, if you have the right lens. The Irix 15mm f/2.4 is an irreplaceable tool for any astrophotographer – its fast aperture of f/2.4, combined with a short focal length allows you to capture spectacular shots of the night sky and the Milky Way. The night is yours! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7WlAe7-4KE Intelligent Lens Design The Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens has a module that allows you to control the lens’ iris directly from the camera, thanks to which popular semi-automatic modes (PASM) and data recording in EXIF format are available. The use of electronics also enable the lens to be equipped with a focus confirmation system – the camera will announce the correct focus setting (either in the form of an icon in the viewfinder or with a sound), every time you set the focus correctly – it’s easy and convenient! It’s worth noting that Irix lenses have the appropriate correction profiles that are pre-loaded and readable by software (such as Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop), that will make your shooting experience even more enjoyable. A Build You Can Trust It doesn’t matter if you’re traversing the hot sands of the Sahara or the frigid expanse of Antarctica – Irix lenses never back down from any challenge. The sealing system has been designed to protect the inside of the lens from moisture, dust, and sand. Equally important, the lens does not change its dimensions during focus pulling, eliminating the risk of dirt particles getting swept into the internal structure. These properties not only allow you to work in demanding conditions, but also guarantee the cleanliness of the camera’s mirror chamber sensor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCgg5tHNSeI Optics that guarantee sharp images Creativity, ideas, and effort put into a photograph would be nothing without the right lens. Thanks to many years of experience in optical design, Irix lenses are characterized by their excellent resolution and minimal distortion (2%) and almost no vignetting. The Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens consists of as many as 15 elements arranged in 11 groups: 4 refractive elements, 2 ED elements and 3 aspherical elements. The focusing distance is only 28cm which, in combination with the f/2.4 light and 9 rounded aperture blades, make the lens stand out with extremely smooth bokeh with an amazing perspective. You compose the frame – we will take care of the rest! Creative Tool It doesn’t matter if you are a professional photographer looking for a lens for your next job, or an amateur looking to expand your focal range – the Irix 15mm f/2.4 is a right choice for every landscape photographer! The Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens is an ultra wide-angle lens created for your full frame (35mm) camera, available in Nikon F, Canon EF, and Pentax K mounts. This lens will allow you to open up to a completely new type of photography – thanks to the 110-degree field of view you will be able to capture eye-catching images, and the excellent optical properties will make the image sharp and full of details. One Lens – Two Versions The Irix 15mm f/2.4 comes in two verisons: Firefly and Blackstone. Firefly – Lightweight composite construction, with an embossed rubber focus ring, allowing for smooth and precise focusing. Included with the lens is a soft pouch. Additional Features Click at infinity – enables precise, easy, and quick focusing. During focusing, you will feel the exact moment when your lens sets to infinity, which is extremely useful when shooting in difficult lighting conditions (i.e. at night). Focus Lock – allows you to lock the focus ring in a specific position, which is extremely beneficial when you want to keep a specific focus plane i.e. in astrophotography, or when using the hyperfocal scale. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfG6jysEL-Q 95mm front filter thread – allows you to use screw-in filters such as Irix Edge UV & Protector, Irix Edge Circular Polarizer, Irix Edge ND, and Irix Edge Light Pollution filter and others. Compatible with Irix Edge IFH-100 Filter Holder – allows you to expand your creativity thanks to Gradual Neutral Density filters with different gradients: Soft, Hard and Reverse Rear Gel filter slot – allows the use of Neutral Grey filters mounted on the rear of the lens, which is a unique feature of the Irix 15mm f/2.4 and Irix 11mm f/4.0 lenses. Circular Polariser Adjustment Window – the lens hood is equipped with a sliding window, allowing you to freely rotate the polarizing filter without the risk of getting dirty. Focus Calibration window – due to the specifics of focus detection in DSLR cameras based on phase detection, it may sometimes happen that the lens needs to sync with the camera. Thanks to this special opening, you can easily calibrate the lens at home using basic tools within 5 minutes. Fast, simple and effective! Compatible with filters What makes the Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens unique is the possibility of using both classic 95mm screw-on filters, as well as square filters, thanks to the Irix Edge IFH-100 holder! Every landscape photographer uses filters – they allow a creative approach to photography, which makes them extremely practical. The filters that you can use with the Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens are all 95mm filters, such as the Irix Edge: UV & Protector – protects your lens against damage Circular Polarizer – cuts off unwanted reflections and increase the clarity of the photo Neutral Density – decrease the amount of light reaching the camera sensor, thus allows, for example, creatively to blurs the motion in your photographs. Light Pollution – cuts off the light of cities, making your night photos full of detail without a yellowish haze Irix Edge IFH-100 Filter Holder allows you to expand your camera’s capabilities thanks to Gradual Neutral Density filters with different gradients: Soft, Hard and Reverse. By cutting off part of the light from the brightest part of the image, you can shoot even in the most difficult lighting conditions. This manual-focus Irix 15mm f/2.4 lens has superb optics, easily the equal or better than the larger, older and more expensive Zeiss 15mm f/2.8. This is a full frame (FX) lens, and I'll be reviewing it as such. It works great on DX cameras, too, on which you may make the usual inferences, but you're wasting most of this lens' performance shot on a small frame camera. The Nikon version should work great with every FX digital Nikon. It has a chip that should let it work in all metering modes and in all P, S, A, and M exposure modes, just like Nikon's AI-P manual-focus lenses. Wow! Even shot wide-open at f/2.4, it's ultra sharp and contrasty at every focus distance. This lens, like most major-brand lenses introduced since 2010, is ultra sharp. It may be the sharpest fixed ultra-ultrawide lens I've ever tested. It's ultrasharp and contrasty and devoid of spherical aberration and lateral color throughout the whole image even wide-open at f/2.4. The only slight imperfection is that it is slightly softer in the last few millimeters of the full-frame corners at f/2.4, but even there it becomes ultrasharp as soon as stopped down a little. It's so sharp and contrasty that it can incite aliasing on a 50 MP Canon 5DSR, even shot wide-open! More good news is even though it has a rounded diaphragm, the Irix 15mm can make 18-pointed sunstars on brilliant points of light at the smaller apertures. Overall This Irix 15mm has optics as good or better optically than any of expensive lenses and takes normal filters, which most of the other lenses do not. This is a great 15mm lens at a bargain price and much nicer than anything else I've ever seen out of Korea. If you're in the market for a fixed 15mm ultra ultrawide, this is probably your best buy. kenrockwell.com About us Swiss precision and Korean ingenious solutions make a powerful mix.
