No Sloof Lirpa announcement this year

April 1, 2020 JimK 1 Comment

The folks at Lirpa Labs, the research arm of Sloof Lirpa, inform me that they unfortunately will have no new product announcements this year. They, like so many of us, have been working from home for the past month, and productivity has not been up to its usual standard.

Those of you unfamiliar with the Lirpa product line might want to follow some of the links below.

    Thank you for an excellent, well controlled test between these two lens. I probably will be going with the Nikon 20mm, when the funds become available. With your testing skills, I would love to see a comparison of the new Nikon 20mm against the 14-30mm at 20mm and F4. The reason being, I can only afford to purchase one, at this time. Not being into astro photography, the fast apertures are not a necessity. Image quality is my only consideration. Again ,Thank you for your effort. Mike
