TTArtisan 40mm f/2.8 Reviews
The macro photos are sharp and it's easy to use

I haven't had a lot of chances to play with it yet, but the test shots I've taken look pretty good. It's heavy, but not nearly as heavy as full-frame glass. I like having another option in my bag for macro shooting.
Still working on it.

The lens is a solid built lens. Don't know how they could have made it to sell for such a low price, not complaining about that. Only reason for 4 stars is because I am still working on getting use to a manual lens. I am a Sony A6100 user and in the past have only purchased Sony auto focus lens with OSS. Hopefully I can work it out.

The TTArtisan 40mm f/2.8 Macro Lens for Canon RF will fit and work as a manual lens on the Canon R5. But it is for a crop APS-C size sensor. So it will vignette the image.

Is there significant chromatic aberration at the closest focus distances, and is it sharp corner-to-corner?
This is sharp certainly for the price range corner to corner provided what is in frame is all on the same plane. The lens is coated and you should not have aberration provided you are focused on the closest subject and it will be sharp as long as it is not closer than the minimum focus distance.

is this a good lens for digitizing negatives?
Good lens to look at that will offer you a 1:1 life-size maximum magnification. we usually suggest 60mm and 100 Marco but the 40mm will do the job.

I bought this lens to use with my Canon R5. I can focus with no problem, but the shutter does not engage. Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the lens?
You would need to set the Canon R5 in the menu to release shutter w/o lens. It is shown here in the manual where it is. It is in the bottom of this page. https://cam.start.canon/en/C003/manual/html/UG-08_Custom_0030.html
