Irix 15mm Blackstone

I’m looking for a 15mm or there abouts in Nikon mount for an upcoming trip to Arizona and Utah. I tried a Rokinon 14mm but was not impressed by the image quality so returned it. I’ve read some glowing reviews of the Irix 15mm Blackstone but also several reviews regarding decentering. 

Were these just initial production issues that have now been resolved or an on going problem?

I’m open to any prime lens alternatives that would suit my D850. 

Thanks

Thanks Dave. Neil put me on to his site a while and I know he thinks very highly of the Irix. 

I wanted to get a feel from recent purchasers to see how many are being returned due to decentering issues.
