I’ve watched a handful of your TT artisan reviews. General consensus seems to be, shoot between F4 and F8 and it brings a lot of value to the table for the cost. Great reviews! Quick, simple and technical. Perfect for my tastes. Thank you!
-
Your reviews are amazing, thank you
-
It's really sharp when stopped down on my EOS m100. Much sharper than ef 50mm 1.8. Mount is a little bit too tight. Sometimes when used against bright light, it does something weird with enchancing the contrast and pictures come magical just out of camera.
-
Paired with a Fujifilm X-E1 and its 16MP sensor the lens is a very good match as it provides vintage like character without vintage flaws. The main issue that I've noticed is in close-ups where there is visible longitudinal aberration. High contrast areas in front of the focal plane have a magenta fringe, areas behind a cyan fringe. This is no longer discernible at distances greater than 1m so it barely matters.

If you were one of those types with your own "merch" i'm sure you'd have a t-shirt that said "Due to the effects of diffraction".
-
Love your reviews! Especially the way you structure them, allways know where and when I can get the information I value more. Any chance of getting a review from 7artisans 35 1.4 aps-c ( also named 35 1.4 II )?

I have this Lens exactly 8 days before xmas last year, really like it much. Haptics, optics, fine for so little money (paid new 58 EUR into 2021) Matching lens hood from TTA costs a few bucks. It's only that ~53mm (x1.52) on APS-C are not my fave focal length. Chris, the TTA Lens hood is 100% pure metal - not plastic. It costs separately bought 6 to 8 EUR.
-
This lens has character that is worth more than its asking price. Fantastic real world performance vs nitpicking that nobody really does.
-
It would be awesome if you get the chance to test the new fujifilm 150-600mm lens! I would love to see how sharp it is on the fuji aps-c sensor
-
That zoom in on John 1 in Greek was nice brother! ;)
-
If you want to be surprised, check out the TTArty 11/2.8 fisheye. Quite sharp across the frame even wide open, at a distance.
-
Hi Christopher, I hope you can review the Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.2 X for Fuji. Really interested in this lens for my X-Pro3, and not many reviews out there. Thanks!
-
Please review the full frame lens version of this
-
Hi Christopher, I compared your review of this lens and the XF35 f1.4 and noticed the color produced by these two lenses differ greatly, with the Fuji being much more saturated(at 2:46 here and 2:10 in the XF35 f1.4 review respectively). Is it because of the different lighting condition for different review videos, Fuji XT2 vs XT3, or is it the result of the lenses themselves?
-
I've had this for almost 6 months now and I love it! Sharpness is not everything for me, I have other glass for sharpness. But this thing has a lot of character and it's a steal for the price! In fact, this made me go all in with TTArtisan buying all their APS-C lenses for my Nikon Z fc which would otherwise be restricted to 3 pieces of dark zooms from Nikon.
-
I used this lens on a Fuji Xt1 I bought in kit. I sold it since but I regret doing so. It was an awesome lens to use, with great mechanical quality, and very nice rendering for portraits. Technically far from perfect, as shown in this review, but the results are lovely.
-
YT testers usually test lens prices and you're no exception. Whenever I see you testing a 800$ Voigtlander or a Leica with VERY similar performance to this little 80$ guy, you just have praises. Considering you're one of the good reviewers out there, somebody looking for serious lens advice has a really hard life.
-
the bokeh seems quite pleasing
-
Impressive little lens. Actually better than the vintage Pentax lenses you can find for 50ish bucks. Although those definitely have a certain charm as well. Would definitely pick on up if I didn't have a host of old Pentax lenses 😅
-
I’d really like to see how the slower DSLR version of the Tamron 35-150/2.8-4 compares to the new wunder lens the faster Tamron 35-150/2-2.8
