TTArtisan 50mm f/2 Reviews

For the price, pretty fantastic

Okay, let’s get the bad out of the way first thing so that expectations aren’t set unreasonably high. This lens is really only going to be as good as it can be. It’s not incredibly sharp wide open, and it gets some pretty awful washed-out flares if you’re shooting towards bright objects. There’s no lens hood for it. Even the lens cap is garbage, you’ve gotta screw it on and off like a filter. I ditched the lens cap completely. The good, however, is that this lens RULES. It’s cheap so you don’t have to worry about getting it scratched or dirty, meaning you could take this thing anywhere. And the aperture being so wide makes it great for darker settings. And while it’s true that it loses sharpness wide open, it also can give you frankly a beautiful effect. The manual movement is smooth and long enough to give you some precision when focusing. And, aesthetically, the lens looks fantastic on my X-E5. It’s pretty flat for a 50mm which means it’s still highly portable, and I take it with me just as often as my 23mm f/2.8 fujifilm lens that came with my X-E5. Honestly, for the price, if you don’t have a 50mm lens, you should get this. It’s really a fantastic piece of glass, and once you’ve used it enough to get a feel for the character of it, you’ll get some great stuff from it.

What a Great Everyday and even Professional Backup Lens!

I have all manner of professional glass, but all of my lenses get the royal treatment when they come home from a shoot: cleaned and cased and locked away until the next one. They are just too needed and too expensive to leave on a camera lying around waiting for some moment of family cuteness. Murphy's law clearly states there would be some accident and I would be out a lens. Because of that, I was missing way too many family pics, and/or getting poor-quality pics using a phone or other compact, low-pixel quality camera. This lens is not weather sealed, it has no electronic contacts, it won't allow me to enlarge an image to help nail focus, and it is manual focus only: but it IS full frame and the results ON THREE different cameras speak for themselves, The walking cat was taken with this lens on the A6700. The iris, ant, and picture of an A6700 were taken with an A74, and the sleeping cat was taken with an A6000. What more needs to be said? I can keep this lens on my A6000 and leave it ready to go, and with the built-in flash on the A6000, I am now missing far fewer family moments. And the resulting picture quality is, well, pretty darn good! Build quality is superb. The focus ring turns with a beautiful, smooth and dampened feel. Yes, I miss a lot more shots with this lens than with my expensive glass due to the manual focus. But for the price? This lens will be coming with me on every professional shoot as a "just in case" backup lens!
