TTArtisan 35mm F0.95 APS-C Manual Focus Camera Lens Super Large Aperture Retro Style Light Weight Camera Lens for Fuji X Mount

Product Information

I already have a Pentax SMC M 50 f1.4 that's excellent, so I wasn't sure getting an f1.2 was really justified. But now seeing the pretty minimal difference to f0.95 I'm second guessing whether it's worth it. Pretty much any of the Chinese lenses can do the dreamy look wide open. The center gets better fast as you stop down and shows good resolution figures at f/1.4 and really good ones with high contrast at f/2.0. Sorry, don’t remember the exact one, it’s a no-name hood with the right filter thread. Search for XXmm circular lens hood or something 🙂 Although TTArtisan have given us the option to self-calibrate, it also seems they have given us an uncalibratable(?) lens. To its credit, it is not prone to focus shift as a consequence of aperture, but there has been some talk over at 35mmc that the TTArtisan 50 f/0.95 is actually closer to a 52mm lens, (Leica rangefinders are calibrated for 51.6mm) making it impossible to perfectly calibrate for rangefinder focusing throughout its full range. The focal plane will always shift when focusing closer than two meters and this effect will be more pronounced at wider apertures. Obviously live-view camera owners need not worry about this, but for rangefinder owners who may not have access to an LCD screen or live view, this means that when focusing closer than two meters, you can either intentionally compensate using the focus ring, or focus then do a little lean away from the subject to make up the difference.

Yes, cheap Chinese camera lenses project were started by Fujifilm employee, when we bought some patents for the cheap mirorless lenses. If you mainly want to shoot at f/1.4 I would recommend to get an f/1.4 lens (e.g. the TTArtisan 50mm 1.4) as it will save you money, bulk and the opening will be perfectly round at f/1.4.

Pros & Cons

I have often explained that I dont want to buy things from a bully which does not respect human rights. By comparison the Zhong Yi 50mm 0.95 III designed for E-mount shows similarly bad corners but the midframe looks quite a bit better from f/2.0 onwards. infinity (24mp Leica M10) I did read that the 7artisan version appears to be more like a 1.2/1.4 when it comes to actual light transmission and DOF - which would defeat the purpose if true. Wide open there is noticeable coma visible. Stopping down to f/2.8 improves the performance significantly, but as we have seen in the sharpness section the corners never look great. This is the second native Fujifilm X mount manual focus lens I have tested, the other being the TTArtisan 50mm f/1.2.

Some detractors may say manual focusing lenses, and well, third-party lenses are not for serious work, and in this case, I beg to differ; in fact, I was using this exact lens for a review with the just launched Polaroid P2 (review here). TTArtisan 35mm ƒ0.95 on Fujifilm X-Pro3 TTArtisan 35mm ƒ0.95 on Fujifilm X-Pro3 TTArtisan 35mm ƒ0.95 on Fujifilm X-Pro3 Whereas the focus ring was tight on the 50mm f/0.95 it is perfectly dampened on the 35mm f/0.95 with no variations throughout the focus range. It feels quite luxurious for a lens in this price range. elements in 5 groups, including two high-index elements for reduced aberrations and increased sharpness I start from the end - I really like this lens for its character and image quality. However, we need to have the same understanding of the terms "image character" and "image quality" so this review will be useful to you and not just perpetuation of superlatives without real meaning to you.

crops from center, A7rII, b ecause of focus shift (see corresponding section) I refocused for every shot. Of all these manual 50mm lens options, which would you recommend for portraits and cityscapes with a focus on smooth round/oval bokeh? F0.95 is sure nice to have but I assume I’ll shoot mostly around F1.4 and am not a fan of hexagonal type bokeh when stopping down. The TTArtisan 35mm ƒ0.95 handles very well, with its compact size and well designed aperture ring and good amount of focus throw. Thanks for all that. That is indeed pretty minimal difference and I've heard a lot of good things about the TT f1.2. I mostly wanted f0.95 to mess around with and see how many select focus shots I could get at greater distances (i.e. more medium format look). I'm not a portrait shooter, so it'd just be a specialty look fun lens.

I of all people know the appeal of owning an f/0.95 lens, but if you do not intend to use that aperture all the time you might want to consider a slower alternative, especially the Voigtlander 50mm 1.2 E. This way we would have a seamless operation with our cameras and could enjoy the wonderful tactile feeling of a solidly built lens using manual focus. Pros Chinese lens manufacturer 7Artisans has several options for the Fujifilm X mount as well as full-frame lenses for other camera brands. 7Artisans specializes in prime lenses at affordable prices relying on design clues from classic lenses from the past, namely Leica lenses. The 5050 Travel photography Blog did an interesting review of the TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 lens about a year ago - and posted a number of photos taken with the lens which I found somewhere between impressive and compelling. This may be due to the difficulty of making an f/0.95 lens for the small M-mount bayonet, but it may also be the case that the image circle of this lens is slightly too small. TTArtisan 50mm 0.95 MIt’s also easier to set the focus where you want it if something, or someone, will cross that point in some way. I can’t say it’s always better than a pin-sharp AF in a critical situation. But for most of the time, I have zero problems with that manual focus, even down to F0.95 (even if it’s easier to miss an eye on this wide aperture). You are mixing up optical vignetting (ovalized bokeh towards the corners) and mechanical vignetting (shape of highlights stopped down due to aperture diaphragm construction) which makes it really hard to answer your question. The camera-to-lens size ratio on the X-H2S and X-Pro3 was quite ideal but do not expect an optical marvel in the TTArtisan 35mm f/0.95. It struggles wide open but I hope that the sample images also show that you can create decent results. If you are not after that f/0.95 maximum aperture this Voigtlander is a better lens in many ways (e.g. sharpness, contrast, flare resistance) and way more portable.
