TTArtisan 28mm f/5.6 Reviews

Never under estimate

This lens, is a small but mighty lens. 3 things... 1. Its price, is unbeatable! 2. The image quality, I can't even see the flaws that pixel peeping are saying! 3. That size is truly what stands out. It's a great lens, whilst it isn't the fastest lens, it gets the job done. I'm truly surprised how amazing the image quality for this lens deliver, it gives that nostalgic film lens, the imperfections, the time to master the focal length and framing. It's such an incognito lens that I can vanish as I walk around the city of New York. This lens is a fraction from it's competitor Leica, but is it a true replica, I dare say... it could be! This might be my daily lens for awhile now.

I am using this on a Sony A7rii and a Leica M2. Construction is solid. With the included lens hood it looks somewhat cyberpunk which is cool. Ficus is smooth. Lens sharpness is good. Great for zone focusing and grab shooting.

I love this lens gives a unique feel and works great on my Fuji x, Leica me 240, Panasonic, and Sony a7c. Great manual optics with a unique character

The moment TTArtisan announced black brass version of this lens, I preordered it. I was pleasantly surprised by its build quality and the spring loaded infinity focus lock. It feels great when I mount it on my M-E Typ 240 and M6 bodies. Image quality is good too. Wide open doesn't vignette too much. This would be my standard point and shoot lens in broad daylight.

Impressive

Solid build. Sharp wide open (with some vignetting). Straight lines. Third place behind Leica Summicron ASPH and Voigtlander Ultron ASPH v2. Great compliment to APO 50/2 VM and Leica Tele-Elmarit-M 90/2.8 - light trio - when we're not shooting 24/3.8, 35/1.4, 75/2. Nice boxed set with push-on front & rear caps, plus rectangular push-on (tighten screw) hood. Highly recommended.

Fantastic, compact and affordable

This lens is a great option for a walk-around lens during the day. Used it on my 35mm rangefinder and got really nice results. It's compact and basically turns your camera into a point and shoot when the light is good!

A Fun Lens w/ Film and Digital

Have had great fun with this lens so far. Great with film and with digital. When adapting to mirrorless cameras with a helicoid adapter close focus is quite effective. Well built, good-looking lens. For this price I definitely recommend it.

The Leica M mount is in fact compatible with any lens within that specification. Leica or third party. This applies to all analogue and digital Leica M mount bodies. This is in fact the beauty (of M) lens/mount compatibility with Leica.

Most likely not. But you can use a Leica M to Fuji X adapter (Fuji makes one, as does Voigtlander and many other manufacturers).

Does the black paint on the brass internals surrounding the rear optics the lens wear thin or flake off or is it hard wearing?
Asked by: Hanns
Thank you, however I would like to hear that from users who have actually used the lens over a span of time... flaking micro paint bits in the shutter assembly is not something I want to risk based off an answer from someone who doesn't own and use the black lens.
