IRIX 30mm f1.4 Dragonfly

IRIX 30mm Dragonfly lens

The Dragonfly 30mm f1.4 lens for NIKON F IRIX features an optical design based on the IRIX 30mm Cine model, intended for the highly demanding film industry market. The entire optical structure of the lens is identical in both the fixed and cinematic versions, designed to emphasize the vividness of the image. This lens features a modern optical design that includes three ultra-low dispersion glass elements, two high-reflectance glass elements, and one aspherical element. There are a total of 13 elements in 11 groups to provide sharp details, vivid colors and ultra-low distortion. In addition, the 11-blade design opening with rounded edges ensures a pleasant and vivid background bokeh. The elements feature Neutrino multi-coating for optimal light transmission without flare on the lens.

Premium construction materials ensure operation in extreme environmental conditions, and a system of seals located in key locations on the lens resist moisture and dust, protecting the camera's cleanliness from the mirror and camera sensor. The manual focus design incorporates rear focus so the lens doesn't change size while focusing. A special focus ring with a characteristic shape is the hallmark of the IRIX design, and the special texture and correctly selected rubber material and dedicated relief make it easy to feel the position of the ring. The Focus Lock function allows the focus ring to lock in a specific position, especially useful when maintaining a specific distance between the camera and the subject while focusing by zones, or when maintaining perfect focus at infinity in landscape photography or astrophotography.

The IRIX 30mm f/1.4 lens can be controlled directly from the camera, making semi-automatic modes (PASM) and Exif format data recording available. The use of electronics also makes it possible to equip the lens with a focus confirmation system on enabled camera bodies. The camera will report the correct focus settings, either in the form of an icon in the viewfinder or as a sound, when the focus is set correctly.
