I have the Irix 15mm and love the build & optics, but have found the focal length to be a bit wide for my regular use.
I also have an ancient MF Soligor 20mm F2.8, which gets way more use since it gives me a better field of view for a lot of subjects, focus's silly close distance, and also has wild bokeh wide open, yet gets razor sharp when stopped down. Yeah, its slow'ish in comparison at F2.8, but it's VERY compact, like LTD size, and it's plenty fast for everything but Astro. I'm not sure what that Bokeh would do to stars anyway... bubbly stars?
Prolly not great for that.
All that said, I'm tickled Irix is continuing to support K mount. The new HD FA21 would probably get my vote and my money if I wanted to up my game from what I already own, just for the A/F mainly, and the weather sealing and Exif would be nice too.
