Obiettivo Irix 150mm f/2.8 Macro 1:1 per Sony E

Macro photographers shooting with Sony E-mount cameras will appreciate the Irix 150mm f/2.8 Macro lens for its true 1:1 magnification and comfortable working distance. The 150mm focal length keeps you far enough from skittish subjects like insects while still capturing fine details. Its bright f/2.8 aperture delivers a shallow depth of field and excellent low-light performance, and the 11-blade rounded diaphragm produces smooth, creamy bokeh. The optical design includes 4 high-refractive and 3 extra-low dispersion elements to suppress chromatic aberrations and ensure edge-to-edge sharpness. Manual focus with a long throw allows precise control, while the focus lock and removable tripod collar add stability for studio or field work. Weather sealing protects against dust and moisture, making it reliable for outdoor shoots.
