Offering a wide-angle perspective ideally suited for landscapes, architecture, and astrophotography, the 21mm f/1.4 Dragonfly Lens from IRIX is a sophisticated prime lens designed for Nikon F-mount cameras. Benefitting the broad angle of view is an advanced optical design that features aspherical, ultra-low dispersion, and high-reflectance optical elements to control various aberrations and distortions, as well as maintain accurate and consistent color.

The lens is compatible with semi-automatic electronic controls, enabling you to adjust the aperture directly from the camera.

A: Yes. When using the IRIX 30mm f/1.4 Dragonfly Lens for Nikon F, there is no way to control the aperture ring manually and with manual adapters. The aperture of this lens is designed to be controlled electronically, so a manual adapter with an aperture dial would not work. To control the lens' aperture, you would need a lens adapter that allows you to electronically set the aperture on your camera.
