Thank you for sharing. Hmm:

Irix USA is the official distributor of Irix Lens. You can buy with confidence, all the products have local warranty of at least 1 year.

I'll have to see how the Samyang 14mm 2.4 performs before I take a chance on this one.

What exactly is the neutrino coating?

Does the lens get sent through a warp drive core before boxing it up?

Neutrino coating is, of course, undetectable. The hard part is stopping the neutrinos by removing their charm and spin (Neuro excels at this, except he does it with forum trolls), then adhering them with gluons to the glass.

But really, it is likely just a nano/fluorocarbon material.

Neutrino coating - brand name for their coating process? - nothing to do with the neutrino of particle physics.

How good are these Irix lenses performance (optically) wise? The 11mm is far too extreme for my needs, but the 15mm could be right up my alley.

This is OT, but FYI on two reviews I've seen on the 15mm:

Thanks ahsanford, I appreciate the links. My apologies if I was deviating the thread too much. Was just wondering in a general sense how good these Irix lenses are performing, specifically if anyone around here has used one yet.

Anyway, thanks again.
