Thank you Dustin! I'm late for the review but I am currently torn between the Tamron 15-30mm f2.8 and the Irix which I just discovered and is of course much cheaper. I am noticing however that judging from your photos, the Tamron is also ever so slightly wider? It seems during the IQ breakdown that the frame is a bit wider in the corners on the Tamron, which is a big deal.
@DustinAbbottTWI

I do think there is a minor amount of additional width with the Irix. It's a very good lens, though the Tamron produces better, richer color.

You'd like to have a higher ISO generally so the camera can see those faint stars. Usually better to overexpose when possible.
@DustinAbbottTWI

Yes and no. A higher ISO is only necessary if you have lower light sensitivity. It would be foolish to shoot at ISO 6400 with an f/1.4 lens unless necessary as you are introducing extra noise unnecessarily.
@diatomsaus

If the sky is dark enough, I'd shoot at 12800 if I can ;) Usually 6400 though. From my experience, pulling back an overexposed milkyway shot from a higher ISO RAW yields better results. Around my area it's ISO 1600 max, anything above is just overexposed due to surrounding cities.

I just got the Firefly version today based on your reviews. I haven't done much with it yet but found in Lightroom that the lens profile for the 15mm says Nikon in it's description while the 11mm says Canon. I'm shooting on a 5dmiv. Do you think the profile is tuned to one or the other, or is it just a notation?

Bokeh is not really something wide angle lenses are known for. The Sigma is going to be the most versatile because it has AF and a zoom range. That's what I would buy.

This isn't really a straightforward question. The Laowa 15mm F2 is only made in a Sony FE mount, while the Irix isn't available in an FE mount at all. The only place to compare them would be on Sony, and using an adapter makes it difficult to make an accurate assessment over which is sharper (particularly along the edges).

Thank you very much for your answer. I didn‘t know that the Irix is not available in an FE mount version. I was just wondering which one would give me sharper results on my a7iii but since there is no FE mount I think I made my decision. Thank you! However if they would launch an FE mount version of the Irix in the future it would be very interesting to see such a comparison.

Dustin, I don't think any front filter system will work with the 11mm, so what you are going to get is the rear gel filters which suck. Ask them to send you a Irix IFH-100 filter system for the Irix 15mm lens, that's the front filter system that works with 100mmX100mm filters, which is the system we all have been waiting for and still no word from Irix about it

Gel filters are not very easy to put in and take out, you leave fingerprints on them, they affect image quality, and finally, I use the Irix 15mm with the MC-11 adapter on a Sony, and the last thing I want to do out in the field is messing with gel filters and getting dust and other crap into the camera. Don't get me wrong, I love the Irix 15, but Irix announced the IFH-100 filter system Oct 2017, and 10 months now still nothing. They stopped answering replies on social media about when it's coming out.
