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?

Excellent sharpness and build

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.

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.

So while I never consider myself a bokeh photo guy I thought I could have some inexpensive fun with this lens. Well my suspicions were correct its a lot of fun. My info said it was a Sonnar formula which my favorite Nikkor 105 f2.5 is as well. So its a tiny lens and the tapered shape leads you to expect retro images but I cant say thats true as I never had the dough re me to buy 1.4 lens.I found this lens easy to focus on Fuji XT2 body using various aids, peaking and enlarged image. The lens is not electrically unified with the camera so there is no automatic enlargement when turning the focus ring. It focused quite well using the peaking. There is some play in my copy as you rotate the focus collar back and forth.

Their lens formulary might be a Sonnar derivitive for their lower models untill now but their newest is vastly different. Many more elements. So Its a fun lens to add to your gear list.

Great lens!
30 August 2021

I have owned this lens for just over three months now and I am very pleased with my purchase. I have shot with it a several times now, and am prepared to share my thoughts on this lens.I was looking for something at the shorter telephoto end (50mm equivalent) for my Fujifilm XS10, and this little lens has fit nicely.For such a fast lens (f/1.4) it is surprisingly light weight, yet it is built well, and I have not found any cheapness to its construction. The images I have taken with it have come out very nice indeed! I was very surprised that such an inexpensive lens ($73 US) would produce such sharp results wide open at f/1.4! I think this is one of the sharpest lenses I have used wide open. It can suffer a little from flaring, but if you buy a $10 lens hood, ... MoreI have owned this lens for just over three months now and I am very pleased with my purchase.

I think this is one of the sharpest lenses I have used wide open. It can suffer a little from flaring, but if you buy a $10 lens hood, like I did, you shouldn't have many issues at all. The aperture is very nice, and moves very smoothly through its range (f/1.4 to f/16). It has half-stops up to f/4, and full stops from f/5.6 to f/16. The focus ring moves very smoothly also, and its minimum focusing distance makes it suitable for some nice close up shots of products, nature, or whatever.All in all, I'm very pleased with this lens, and I don't think it can be beat for its price. I would highly recommend this lens to anyone on a tight budget, who doesn't mind using a manual lens, and wants high quality results.

Great street lens for micro 4/3 cameras
23 January 2023

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.

Neo-Vintage. Great for classic renderings.
6 October 2022

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 ... MoreThe optical formula on the box suggests this lens is inspired by a classic 50mm SLR lens from the '60s.

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.

Quality control issues
21 March 2022

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.

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!

Shockingly sharp! This replaced my pro lenses! Seriously!
30 November 2022

No joke, this lens is very sharp! Don't want anything sharper! I use this for filmmaking, podcast videos and youtube videos now. I always get compliments on my productions. I don't buy expensive glass anymore now that I discovered this brand. Works for what I need it for. I own 3 now (two 35mm and one 50mm). Metal structure with nice weighted aperture clicks and weighted focus ring too. If you don't mind having a small lens body like this, and if you don't mind manual lenses, I highly recommend this! if you're on a budget, you can't beat this! As long as you have a good camera and you know how to shoot right (and with great lighting when indoors) you will get fantastic results!

Surprisingly Refreshing
21 January 2022

This lens not only looks great, it's built like a tank. It instantly reminds you of a vintage high quality film lens of yesteryear. Image quality is great too. This lens is super sharp wide open and better when stopped down. Sunstars are also of excellent quality. Distortion is well controlled too. The only con really noticeable with this lens is high levels of chromatic aberration when shooting against brightly lit subjects. Everything has a bright purple fringe. A quick click in Photoshop will eliminate that flaw. One thing I can complain about is the infinity mark. Infinity arrives slightly before the infinity mark, so test before trusting the lens marking. This lens produces some interesting flare. Depending on how you use it, the flare will be either creatively ... MoreThis lens not only looks great, it's built like a tank.

For the price, then lens is easily the best value around, followed by the TTartisan 50mm.

Very fine, economical lens
29 September 2022

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 ... MoreI 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 taken so far to black and white, so...Only other thing, is just getting used to the aperture ring being on the opposite end of the lens, at the top, as opposed at the base... habitually go to focus reaching towards the end of the lens, and end up changing the aperture... just will take some getting used to.Think though, that inadvertently led to, when shooting both lenses, discovering one frame being slightly out of focus, when aperture was turned, also turned the lens' focus... 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.
