Iris 150 mm macro for PENTAX, any good?

Iris makes a 150mm MACRO for canon, Nikon, & Pentax, But I’m not finding any reviews or evaluations of it. I’m thinking of buying one to use with my Pentax K-1... Anyone have anything to say about this lens in particular & this company, in KOREA?? I would truly appreciate any and all INPUT. Thanks.....RJM

That would be Irix.
You’re absolutely correct, and thank you for correcting that mistake. Do you know anything else about that lens? If so, fill me in. RJM

I have no experience of this lens but here is a link to a Youtube video showing a macro vlogger giving his impressions of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0N9uK_SCXY&t=314s

I have no answer to your questions, but a FYI.
I have had money returned to my card and the purchase canceled for a few places in Asia. I do not know by who, my card company? I believe Korea and some places in China. I guess not friends of the US?
I have little to no knowledge or opinion of current politics, so no idea or need to know.

Then I looked deeper. Adorama and B&H, $495.
So no worry about overseas shipping.

Here are some other reviews of the same lens with different brand mounts. They might give you some useful information and data too.
