Precision focusing is achieved through a wide, rubber-coated focus ring, which offers a tactile grip and a rotational angle of 270½ degrees for fine adjustments. The inclusion of a Focus Lock ring is a thoughtful addition, enabling photographers to secure the focus position, a feature particularly useful during repetitive shooting scenarios or focus stacking techniques.As the inaugural offering in the innovative Dragonfly series, this lens encapsulates the best of both worlds: the ergonomic lightness found in the Firefly models and the robust, durable magnesium housing characteristic of the Blackstone series. The Irix 150mm f/2.8 Dragonfly Macro Lens is a reliable and durable choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike, who demand the utmost in image quality and build integrity.Whether capturing the intricate details of nature, the delicate features of wildlife, or the nuanced textures of product photography, this lens is designed to deliver sharp, clear, and vivid images time and time again.
