Hi has anyone actually received, or even ordered, the IRIX 15mm 2.4. I'm waiting for a response from them about availability, they said it was on their facebook account but I don't fancy ordering something and it taking 4 months to turn up. The only online resellers I've seen offering the lens for sale I have never heard of before If you actually have one what do you think of it, especially if its on a K1

It is listed as being made in Pentax K, but it's a new lens and availablity may take a while. It's well worth the money.
Best regards, John

It lists three available mounts. It only gives the Canon and Nikon weights.

Saw the Blackstone version is fully weather sealed! Oo! Prices needed, although it might just frighten the pants off me!

Prices are in the VFM section of the review. Yes, 95mm....but in the past no filters could be used on such wide lenses. I doubt they are needed now, but if they are then thin ones are best to avoid any cut off.
Best regards, John
