Review on Irix 15Mm Firefly Lens Canon by Hoon Alvin ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

I think RF lenses are exactly what all this is worth. I do not know why. there is some magic in these L-s, the picture from them looks just magical, even simple plots look interesting. with other manufacturers, this effect is much more difficult to obtain, I have no idea why. you can compare sharpness, distortion and other nonsense as much as you like, but with L the picture is very cool, it is obvious even to a simple peasant that this was shot on something very cool. It is interesting that when zooming, the front part of the lens moves forward and the back part moves back, I have not seen this before.

Pros
  • sharp, excellent contrast, cool color, magical wide angle, fairly wide range of focal lengths, some kind of magic in the image rendering, the picture is very interesting, pleasant in appearance, and convenient to use. autofocus is fast and never misses (on the R6). the stub is silent.
Cons
  • well, here to get to the bottom that the plastic lens, that the vignette at 15 is too conspicuous (and who doesn’t?), maybe that it’s a construct with an external zoom (well, that means it’s necessary). and from the subjective, I don’t like bokeh at all, apparently on the widths you can only get bokeh norms from fixes. the zoom ring flexes slightly with medium effort (top).
