I picked up this lens for a very specific reason--to pair with my Xt1 I had and essentially "convert" it to a point and shoot to toss in my pocket. When it arrived, it matched perfectly with the xt1's small size and I immediately began to take a liking to it.
The TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 lens is an affordable option that packs an impressive punch for its price point, especially at just $149. This compact, lightweight pancake lens boasts a sturdy metal build, a user-friendly aperture control dial, and a swift, quiet autofocus—making it well-suited for street photography and everyday use. The lens is particularly sharp, delivering excellent center sharpness at all apertures and achieving full-frame sharpness at f/5.6 to f/8, rivaling more expensive options.
One of the standout aspects is the almost nonexistent chromatic aberration and the appealing sunstars it produces when stopped down. Additionally, the lens’s character comes through in its unique image rendering, offering an "old-school" vibe in certain light situations, which can be appealing for photographers seeking distinctive aesthetics.
On the downside, the lens does have a few limitations. Its vignetting at f/2.8 is visible and requires some corrections in editing. Also, images tend to suffer from low contrast and flare under backlighting, but not too much that it cannot be compensartred for after the fact. These are very forgivable shortcomings given its budget-friendly price. In the right settings this lens performs admirably, making it a strong option for those looking for value over perfection.
