This is a really excellent option for anyone looking for a solid wide-angle lens. It's not quite up to par with, say, the Sigma 16mm f/1.4... but it's also not even 1/3rd of the price! And it easily outperforms most vintage wide-angles, which are often also quite a bit more expensive. And, in terms of distortion (or lack thereof) this lens is especially outstanding! It's not entirely free of barrel distortion, but it is so minimal that I've never had the thought of trying to correct and straighten images out - lines stay remarkably straight, and composition with it is a breeze.Otherwise, there is much to recommend this little product on its own: it's solidly built, it's very sharp, it's fast, and has surprisingly short minimum focus distance. It copes well with ... MoreThis is a really excellent option for anyone looking for a solid wide-angle lens.

It copes well with low light, and can do some very pleasant subject separation and bokeh for such a wide lens.The main compromises to make here are that you will have to step down quite a bit for sharpness at the corners (it'll be uneven until you go down to about f/5.6), and that contrast does blow out quite easily in bright light, and purple fringing when shooting against a bright background will also be obvious. That said - it handles those issues a bit better than a lot of far pricier vintage lenses, and even some modern ones.I've been using this lens as a simple walkaround companion, and have been finding it particularly handy indoors - in tight spaces, the wide angle, fast aperture, and very short minimum distance make it a handy item. It's fun to use in, say, taking casual pictures at restaurants. On an APS-C sensor, the resulting field of view is pretty close to what you get with a cellphone camera - but obviously this is a much bigger and more light-sensitive lens. Yet it's still light and compact enough that it's worth bringing along with you - the pictures really don't disappoint.Given the price, it's hard not to recommend it!

I was pleasantly surprised - amazed, rather - when I received this piece of glass. The focus and aperture rings are very smooth and a joy to use (smoother than the 17mm f/1.4). When shooting wide open, not only it lets in a lot of light, allowing you to shoot in lower light, but also creates a very nice vintage effect with some pleasing creamy bokeh, and if you stop down the aperture, the sharpness is unmatched at this price point. Manual focus only adds experimentation to your photography and keeps it interesting.It's also stylish and gives off this vintage reporter vibe while remaining small and lightweight - I just keep it in the pocket of my coat and don't even bother with putting it in my bag.Is it the best 35mm lens on the market? No.Is it the sharpest ... MoreI was pleasantly surprised - amazed, rather - when I received this piece of glass.

I bought the TTartisans 35mm f/1.4 to use on my Nikon z50. I was very skeptical at the price of this lens and wondered how it would impact image and build quality. I was so wrong. I was very surprised at how good the image quality is, especially regarding contrast levels and color rendition even with out-of-camera JPEGs. ( I did take care to use a makeshift lens hood as seen in the photos. A 55mm hood with a 39 to 55mm step-up ring.) Clearly the Sonnar optical design for this lens is a time-proven winner.There is a minor but distinct increase in sharpness when shifting from f/1.4 to f/2 for details (at 100% pixel peeping). This aperture change may be noticeable in background bokeh overall but it is not overwhelming. At f1.4 some details such as specular highlights ...

This aperture change may be noticeable in background bokeh overall but it is not overwhelming. At f1.4 some details such as specular highlights will exhibit a bit of soft "glow" or bloom around some highlights. By f/2 it sharpens up noticeably.Wide open at f/1.4 there is noticeable light fall-off (vignetting) if you're shooting a continuous tone background. On Micro Four Thirds I imagine that this lens is amazing because the crop-factor (making it an equivalent to 70mm) will eliminate a great deal of the vignetting that it exhibits wide open at f/1.4. On the APS-C sensor of the Nikon Z50 (with equivalent focal length of 52mm) it performs extremely well, especially at f/2, where vignetting is lessened (and may be eliminated in post-processing). Going beyond that to f/4 or f/5.6 performance is remarkable with crisp details and great color.Is this lens perfect? No. There is definite field curvature to the plane of sharpness, but unless you a photographing a perfectly flat surface head-on it should not be an issue.I love that this lens is extremely compact and light weight without compromising image quality or build quality. It feels solid and very well built. Sharpness is superb. Focusing is buttery smooth, and the aperture has mild but definite detents-half stops from f/1.4 to f/4 and then at every stop from f/5.6 onwards to f/16. The 10-bladed aperture reminds me of the way lenses used to be built before AF mechanisms were built into them, and the way it renders beautiful bokeh highlights in the backgrounds.Although the EVF in the Z50 is only 2.36mil dots, it was easy to magnify and manually focus even in low light. It all depends on your specific camera. I highly recommend this lens if you are comfortable with manual focus and slow shooting.

Usable wide open, but quite sharp from f/2 to f/11. Sharpest from f/2.8 to f/8. Works quite well in good light as a zone focus walk around lens. I set the aperture @f/8, shutter speed @1/800 and iso @Auto. Then focus on an object about 16 ft away and everything from about 12 ft to25 ft is in good focus. Makes it like a point and shoot on my OM 10. Great for street shots on the fly, as IBIS damps any camera motion even while walking.One concern is the lens fit is quite snug (docked 1 star for this). I tried it on the 3 micro 4/3 bodies I use and while it works on all, the 2 newer bodies were the tightest fit and requires a fraction of a turn back and forth to click fully into place and actually show an image on the screen. I decided to just leave the lens on the OM ... MoreUsable wide open, but quite sharp from f/2 to f/11. Sharpest from f/2.8 to f/8. Works quite well in good light as a zone focus walk around lens.

The optical formula on the box suggests this lens is inspired by a classic 50mm SLR lens from the '60s. It is worth having for its useful range of vintage optical performance characteristics.Like many lenses of that era this has substantial spherical aberration wide open. This gives a distinctive smoothness to focused parts of the image and soft edges. As the lens is stopped down, this aperture dependent aberration is progressively corrected, so that it's mostly gone by f4 or f5.6, as the field of view gets sharper and and more detailed. At f8 its quite sharp corner to corner. So, between this progressive elimination of softness, the focus/out of focus characteristics, and nice bokeh, there are a lot of useful manipulations to be played with in the rendering of an ...

Micro contrast and color are decent, though not up to the very high standard of current Fujifilm lenses. The slight barrel distortion is easily corrected in post. Its also very compact and versatile.This lens shines for portraits, narrative still lifes, and with the Acros B&W profile. I'd recommend using a lens hood as there can be flare with light sources in the field of view. All in all, Its a nice lens to have for its range of distinctive optical renderings: Visual qualities that better corrected modern lenses can't pull off.
On first examining this lens, my impressions were favorable: smooth focusing, good fit and finish. The infinity focus was slightly off, but easily adjusted with the tool provided (this is a standard procedure with this manufacturer's lenses, but really should be done at the factory). Only when I mounted the lens on my M6 did it become clear that it was bringing up the 50mm frame lines instead of the 35; I have to assume that the mount for a 50mm was mistakenly installed at the factory. Of course, B&H happily and quickly exchanged this lens for a replacement.The second lens arrived with the focus correct and the proper mount. However, the screw-on lens hood, normally held snug by a silicone ring at the end of its travel, would not snug down properly. I needed to ...

Of course, B&H happily and quickly exchanged this lens for a replacement.The second lens arrived with the focus correct and the proper mount. However, the screw-on lens hood, normally held snug by a silicone ring at the end of its travel, would not snug down properly. I needed to add a thin section of teflon plumber's tape to the threads to hold it snug. In addition, the hood would not fit over all but one of the many 49mm UV filters that I tried it with. It requires a filter with a narrower than normal outside diameter.On the plus side, the lens is plenty sharp, even wide open, with a pleasing signature (for my shooting, film only). But it seems that the manufacturer is still struggling with engineering and quality control issues, similar to what I encountered a few years back when I purchased one of their 50mm lenses. I'd hesitate to recommend their products, but if you do purchase any, make sure that you have an ironclad return policy from the seller. Another reason to shop B&H!
I have a Sony a6500, I decided to do street photography this lenses is very compact, manual focusing is fast and stop clicks are firm. I like the contrast of the lens when I shoot black and white on my digital camera easy to control within the camera, very few corrections needed in Photoshop once you understand how the lens works.One slight annoyance is when you mount the lens it seems to take a little bit more force then necessary, that's why I returned it for an exchange on the same lens.Functionability in handling getting to the f-stop in the focusing is very easy, I have relatively normal to small hands which makes it easier for me to control. Finding filters for it took a little while but I have a range of colored filters for contrast and black and ...

Finding filters for it took a little while but I have a range of colored filters for contrast and black and white.According to the information I read you can use infrared filters on the Sony 6500 haven't tried it purchasing two filters to see how well it works if the contrast is good as black and white I should have no problems bringing out the contrast when using a infrared filter.Sorry for being long-winded but that's my opinion of the lens overall I like it I hope this helps everybody interested in doing black and white and infrared photography.
I purchased this lens, along with TTArtisan's 17mm f/1.4 lens, for my Fuji X-Pro3.Both lenses are almost adorably tiny, the 17mm a little longer in lengththan the 35mm here (as well as $30 the more expensive too), and look good on the front of my X-Pro.Both, are very fine optical lenses, especially when you consider the price points for both... no noticeable distortion, a little on the soft side, but only just enough to give the lens nice character, not any enough to detract from the image.Only real con being on both lenses, there is at times a very pronouncedmagenta chromatic aberration, noticeably on solid white subjects... but, is something that is correctable in post, so not a real deal breaker... plus, so far, have converted all the images I have ...

Oh, and also, the aperture clicks are a little too much on the soft side too... as well as turning aperture, sometimes leads to focus also being turned.Again, just getting accustomed to things with the new lenses, of it'sindividual quirks and adjusting to shooting with them... no real bigdeal with either lenses, and would recommend them, especially for thecost.Otherwise, nice and good lens. One thing of note, from reading the materials that came with the lenses, and would have been nice to know prior to purchasing, that neither are weather proofed at all, and says to avoid getting it wet.
I was very excited when I got the lens cause I like all my other TTArtisan lenses. Sadly, this one is a real let down. I hope it's just that I received a bad copy but I don't have time to get an exchange before my next trip.Basically one of my lens tests is infinity focus, and it failed that one spectacularly. As you can see in my test photos (600% zoomed), infinity focus is pretty much non-existence at f=1.4. The other side of the spectrum (f=16) is also pretty bad. Only f=8 yields acceptable clarity. I bought this lens cause I wanted that fast aperture for aurora shooting, but its shockingly bad infinity focus capability makes that job a mission impossible.Just to clarify, I do know a lot of lenses don't focus at infinity when you rotate the focus ring to the ...

And I did re-focus after switching aperture.
