Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the Irix Dragonfly for its ultra‑fast f/1.4 aperture, razor‑sharp rendering and creamy bokeh, while also highlighting its rugged, weather‑sealed build and the creative advantage of a ~36mm equivalent focal length on GFX. The main criticisms focus on the manual‑focus design, substantial weight, and the absence of optical stabilization, which limit its suitability for fast‑action work.
What Users Say
Consumers echo the professional praise, especially noting the smooth bokeh, low‑light performance, and solid grip in challenging environments. The most common reservations revolve around the lens’s heft and the manual‑focus only operation, which some casual users find less convenient.
Common Complaints
Weight (907 g) making prolonged handheld use tiring; manual‑focus only limiting speed for action; no built‑in stabilization requiring reliance on in‑body stabilization.
How It Compares
vs. Fujifilm GF 63mm f/2.8
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose the GF 63mm if you need a lightweight, autofocus lens for general purpose; choose Irix for the fastest aperture and superior weather resistance.
vs. Mitakon 85mm f/1.2
Advantages
Disadvantages
Mitakon is better for portraitists seeking the absolute fastest aperture, while Irix is preferable for wide‑angle, weather‑sealed work.
vs. Fujifilm GF 80mm f/1.7
Advantages
Disadvantages
Select the GF 80mm if you prefer autofocus and a modestly fast aperture in a slightly lighter package; select Irix for the widest view and the fastest f/1.4 aperture.
