Just Announced: IRIX 15mm f/2.4 Blackstone and Firefly

"Neutrino coating" sounds only weird to me, since I've once studied physics. 

How does the lens deal with photons? 

I hope the neutrino coating won't deal with the photons and, as neutrinos are supposed to behave, just let them pass through the lens without any hindrance.

Maybe we've been fooled all along, and neutrinos are the reason why we have noisy images

I hope Irix lens will at least be able to bend the path of the photons.

OK I think this is enough on the naming of the company/lens/coatings - Please stay on the product itself. Thank you.

Also, there is an image of an 11mm/4 lens now floating around.
This along with Voigtlander coming out with E-mount 10mm, 12.5mm, and 15mm lenses - a good time for us wide angle junkies!

Now if one of these manufacturers could produce a native full frame E-mount 180 deg. fisheye that is as sharp and flare/ghost resistant as my 16/3.5 AI I'd be in heaven!!

Did you try the Samyang 12mm, it's 180 deg, should be in E mount as well or?

Appearantly the Irix 11mm f/4 was on public display togerher with the 15/2.4 lens: http://photorumors.com/2016/03/24/irix-11mm-f4-lens-is-coming-next/#more-80352

The guys on the stand at the photo show said the 11mm would be out around May, I couldn't get even a rough price out of them I'm afraid

Unfortunately the Samyang 12mm fisheye is optically still a DSLR design, so no gain in size or weight over an adapted Nikkor 16/3.5.

I'm interested to see how they are built.  If I buy a MF lens, I better be able to take it apart to service it.  If so, I just may be interested.

In case someone missed it, they announced the pricing a few weeks ago:

Certainly an interesting price. I wonder how it will compare to the more expensive options (e.g. Zeiss 15/2..
