I just purchased this lens a few days ago: The fact that I could use my regular 100mm filter set on this lens using the Irix IFH-100 filter holder ($78 from Adorama) clinched it for me. Virtually all other 14 or 15mm lenses require bulky and cumbersome 150mm filters and holders. This lens is a great value and a brilliant design for landscape and astro photography. I can't wait to take mine for a test outing.
thanks for this video. i already own the irix lens and a 95mm 10 stop from formatt hitech .. really wanted to see the irix cpl in action before buying so this has helped me a lot .. cheers gaz from gazphotography.co.uk
Hi Gaz, Glad you're happy with the lens. Once seen, many photographers are stunned with the image quality. Do you have any nice images you could send us? cheers, Charles.
hahaha...well spotted, it's an English expression/idiom... for example "How the devil are you old bean?" One that I heard at a trade show by a large lens manufacturer..."It's a cracking lens!"... it wasn't a lens that was cracked but that he was particularly impressed with the quality. I'm sure being Dutch you have many different ways of expressing how you like products.
Andy is one of the best astro, wildlife and bird photographers, his accent is irrelevant - do you have an accent? Or even something constructive to say?

The most respectful reviewer.
Hi Charles nice video. Cant wait to the promised one about focus stacking using focusing scale of this lens =D
Nice result. Very impressive.
Hi Mike, Thanks, we did this adhoc, met for a chat in sunny Manchester and as the weather was good we decided not to waste the day.

What tripod is that? Looks solid!
Hi Declan, Andy uses a Gitzo tripod and Manfrotto head for his wildlife and Astro photography.
With the old Irix 15 mm....?

what a terrible accent %)
A old saying "If you don't have anything good to say, then don't say it." Constructive criticism is welcome not irrelevant comments.
