TTArtisan 11mm f/2.8 Overview

Offering a uniquely wide angle of view, the TTArtisan 11mm f/2.8 is a fisheye lens designed for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras. The expansive field of view and distinct fisheye look is characterized by immense depth of field along with strong distortion for creating very striking and dynamic imagery. The wide-angle design is also complemented by a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture, to suit working in available lighting conditions, and the lens's manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 6.7" away.

Fisheye design renders an immensely wide angle of view to produce distinct visual appeal characterized by dramatic distortion and a creative depiction of space.
While designed to physically mount onto Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras, this lens is not coupled to the rangefinder mechanism for focusing and will also require the use of an auxiliary viewfinder or live view for accurate composition.
Manual focus design permits smooth, refined control along with a minimum focusing distance of 6.7".
Built-in petal-shaped lens hood that helps to block stray light from causing lens flare and also offers some physical protection to the front of the lens.

TTArtisan 11mm f/2.8 Reviews

Built Like a Tank

Picked up this lens for some fun street photography shots. Unreal craftsmanship at a stupid low price. Win/win for fun wide shots.

Fun and creative

I can't speak to the technical aspects, just that it is easy to learn and use. I put my Lumix S5 in Aperture mode and manual focusing is a breeze. I know my much more expensive Lumix S PRO 24-70mm f/2.8 is a better quality lens with a whole lot more bells and whistles, but the lightweight of this 2.8 fisheye and its creative potential means it gets a good amount of time on my S5.

Great value

Very solid build. Focus and aperture ring operate smoothly. I bought this primarily for close up wildflower photography. Gets in close. Although I don't mind the fisheye distortion, when you crop in, images look pretty natural. Center is very sharp.

Sharp Enough

It's certainly not the sharpest lens in my kit, but it does shoot wider than anything else. It's cheap but doesn't feel cheap. I usually break out this lens to set the scene when shooting events. You have to be willing to accept the distortion going in.

Fun with a fisheye.

This is a fun lens to use. The image quality is very good! The mount on my lens tended to wobble slightly but it didn't effect the quality. I will only use this lens occasionally but I'm glad I have it for those rare photo opportunities.

Compact with Just right barrel distortion.

I have owned Sony FE 12-24G f4 wich is excellent for everything. However , I found I use it more often at 12mm for UWV effect. The size becomes an issue cause I need to carry other prime lenses. TTartisian relatively provides a sweet spot choice, compact, precise, close focus, with just right barrel distortion. 11mm is same wide as 12mm. Sony has much better coating but that's ok for TTartisan with such price tag.

Great lens

Very impressed with the quality of this lens! Well built, sharp, easy to use, and affordable. Despite not having auto focus or any electronics on board, focus peaking works perfectly which makes focusing a breeze! If you're having reservations on this lens and want images that are outside of the box; look no further!

Love it \

You should get about a 16mm field of view. So it's still pretty wide.

Not sealed. Water got into mine when I left it outside for a daylong time-lapse series. Could not dry it out even after four weeks of trying. I bought a replacement and will be more careful.

How many photos do i need to make a 360 photo with this lens? I have the doubt cause of it is a diagonal 180 degree lens
Asked by: Luca
While it does have a 180-degree of view, it also has some distortion. so realistically. I would take about 10 and stitch them together. You could do 4 shots, but it might not come tougher in post.
