TTArtisan 25mm F2 広角 APS-C レンズ

This is fantastic for the price! It's my first time trying a 27mm fixed and wanted to get a feel before deciding whether to invest in a better one. I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality. There is some vignetting but the fact that this is the only issue I've noticed with the lens is shocking, given that the Fujinon one is $500+. I'm very pleased with this.

Exceptional value. If you like manual focusing lenses, this is one well-made, good performance and versatile lens. Used it for street (very discreet), environmental portraits, walkabouts... This is my everyday pocket camera/lens.

I bought this one to pair it with my Fuji xpro3All great but for some reason and after not using it a while ( I kept it in its box) I found that became a little clumsy, found hard to get an image on focus at wide apertures and the image quality also was affected? Setup on my camera haven't changed so I don't know how that can be. In any case, I got great images with it.

Lets get this out of the way first- This isn't an optically perfect lens. Far from it. Wide open, this lens produces a somewhat soft and hazy picture that I'm sure some people will be put off from. If you want optical perfection, this isn't the lens for you.THAT BEING SAID- I love this lens. For one, it's the cheapest new lens (I think) that you can buy for the Fuji X mount. That alone gives it a lot of leeway to misbehave a bit, in my book. It's built of metal and feels good to use- the focus ring is well dampened and the clicked aperture is ideal for still photography. Not being a video shooter, I vastly prefer this over declicked apertures.The image quality, for all its flaws, provides what I find to be a pleasing character. It's not perfect for everything, but this is a lens that begs to be shot wide open at contrasty night scenes in the city. It's wide open characteristics are similar to using a slight diffusion filter. Considering that a good diffusion filter costs almost as much as this lens (Or more, if you splurge on the best filters you can buy), I treat this lens more as a special purpose tool than something to use for every occasion.That character disappears quickly when you stop down, becoming a very sharp lens very quickly. The diffuse look disappears almost completely after the first click down, so you don't need to use it all the time and still have a fast 2.8 aperture without the haze. It's also very small, and pairs well with my X-M1 as a setup that can get tossed in my shoulder bag without a second thought. It's a very fun lens, and if you aren't expecting the level of optical precision that Fuji lenses often strive for, this is a fantastic lens for the money.

The quality of this lens is amazing I cannot believe the price. Metal parts, smooth aperture, controlled focusing and sharp sharp sharp images.I watched a lot of videos about this lens before I purchased it and the main take away is the vignette the lens naturally has at low aperture. This is not even an issue! Most people will apply a vignette in post production anyway!Buy this lens, use Fuji film recipes and feel like you're shooting film all over again!Bottom line is to get this quality in any name brand you're looking at 6 times the price and maybe not as good! Don't listen to the haters and get creative with this little metal cylinder or awesomeness.I hope this helps anyone on the fence. Jump over
