Lens Description

The Irix Dragonfly 21mm F/1.4 is an ultra-wide prime designed for cameras with a Full-Frame sensor. This ultra-bright prime has a 21mm focal-length.

This prime lens focuses down to 30cm from the imaging plane. The lens is not capable of autofocus and so the focus-distance must always be manually adjusted via the focus-ring.

The lens weighs 830g. Its body is weatherproof against adverse weather such as rain and snow. Seals in key areas prevent entry of water and dust.

This version of the lens has a Pentax K mount. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Pentax K mount cameras with Full-Frame or smaller sensors. Irix also makes this lens for Canon EF and Nikon F mounts.
