Irix 45mm f/1.4 Dragonfly
Beautiful Bokeh | Fast Aperture | Classic Focal Length
Whether you are a professional photographer looking for a lens for your next job, or an amateur looking to expand your lens set, the Irix 45mm is a fast f/1.4 lens with a classic 50 degree angle of view, was created for your Full Frame (35mm) camera.
The combination of a fast aperture and a classic focal length makes this lens extremely practical. You can use it both for portrait photography (where you can blur the background effectively), or you can take it on a trip where you will take breathtaking landscapes with extremely sharp images.
A focal length that inspires creativity.
The 45mm focal length will let you capture the world more creatively than with a standard 35mm or 50mm lens. At the same time, the fast f/1.4 aperture will allow you to effectively separate the subject from the background. The Irix 45mm f/1.4 lens was designed to give a very detailed image at just f/1.4, becoming even sharper at higher f-stop values. Thanks to the 9 rounded aperture blades, the areas outside the depth of field remain smooth with a beautiful bokeh.
High-quality lenses must be ready to work under all (weather) conditions. Therefore, the design of the Irix 45mm f/1.4 has no compromises – our premium class lens uses only the best materials. This guarantee of operating in all conditions is provided by the system of internal seals, located in key areas of the lens. What is equally important, the lens does not change its dimensions during focus pulling, eliminating the risk of dirt particles getting swept into the internal structure. These properties not only allow you to work in demanding conditions, but also guarantee the cleanliness of the camera’s mirror chamber sensor.
- A reinforced internal construction based on metal elements
- A scratch-resistant finish
- An anti-slip focusing ring with a special finish for easy focusing
- Engraved markings filled with UV reactive paint
- Excellent weather-sealing to protect against dust and water
- Hard case included
The Irix 45mm f/1.4 Macro 1:1 has a module allowing you to control the lens' iris directly from the camera. This means popular semi-automatic modes (PASM), and data recording in EXIF format are available.
The use of electronics also enables the lens to be equipped with a focus confirmation system – the camera will confirm the proper focus distance (either in the form of an icon in the viewfinder or sound), every time you set the focus correctly – it’s really easy!
The Focus Lock Ring allows you to lock the focus ring in a specific position. This is especially useful when you want to maintain a specific distance to the subject (zone-focusing), or when you want to maintain perfect focus on infinity during landscape photography.
We know how much you liked the focus ring on the Irix 150mm f/2.8 Macro 1:1, that’s why we decided to use a similar one for our Irix 45mm f/1.4 lens. After many tests, we have developed a ring material characterized by its high mechanical strength and resistance. A special texture allows for reliable and precise focusing, and the dedicated embossed dimples allow you to feel the ring’s position even without looking for it- making focusing even easier.
The Irix 45mm f/1.4 Dragonfly lens has a filter thread of 77mm to use classic screw-in filters. You can also use square filters with the Irix Edge IFH-100-PRO filter holder and an adapter for 77mm.
