    5.0 out of 5 stars One foot in two different eras of photography!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2022
    I purchased this lens to mount to my A6000 digital camera, primarily for use as a walk-around/travel/street rig while leveraging a camera body I already own, and still enjoy shooting with.

    This lens gives great, sharp and bright image quality in a very small package when mounted to that camera, providing performance far above even the best “compact” prime cameras I considered at nearly the same size overall, and obviously for far less money than a specialized travel “compact” camera.

    I haven’t had this lens long, but based on my long-term experience with my other TTArtisan lens (40 mm Macro) I had NO qualms about buying this one, specifically for the purposes noted. In a short term use I have come to “pat myself on the back” for selecting this item. I have found some very slight vignetting at certain apertures, not a deal breaker for me, but just a note. (It’s really minimal….and it’s also a sub $100. lens-keep that in perspective)

    It’s small size, fast aperture of 2.0 and TTArtisans super high-quality all metal build, along with (IMPORTANT POINT ALERT) all MANUAL focus and APERTURE controls provide a very nostalgic, and vintage tactile experience even on today’s digital cameras…(YES, I’m old enough to remember shooting analog, film all manually adjusted cameras).

    That user experience, in the right use case, is a refreshing change of pace to todays “auto everything” cameras, and delivers outstanding results to those willing to put in the minimal extra effort to focus by hand. The focus feedback, or “damping” as it’s often called is smooth as silk, precise and a pleasure to perform. The aperture ring is “clicked” at each stop and can me set between full stops as well.

    Caveat: This isnt a lens for those seeking the latest in high tech auto-focus, etc. as it doesn’t have that technology, and for me, and my use case…thats exactly what I wanted. This is a homage to an era of photography of years gone by IMO, yet designed for today’s digital equipment.

    I even enjoy the somewhat atypical TTArtisans all metal, screw on lens caps although this seems to be a somewhat controversial subject. From my POV, this lens cap provides extra protection for a camera I’ll likely toss into my backpack with other items, without fear of it popping off while bouncing around in there. Also, when its off it’s sooo thin you cant feel it in your pocket. Just like the manual focusing and exposure controls, the second or two of additional time required to spin the lens cap on or off vs a plastic pop-on/off type cap is worth it to me, as it’s sturdy, super thin, and like the rest of the lens almost built to a “piece-of-art” standard which I’ve never found any plastic lens cap to be!

    This lens encourages a photographer to slow down, enjoy the process of shooting each image, and do some of the “thinking” about each shot, for themselves.

    So-YES I’m a fan, I’ve spent more on dinner than the cost of this lens (and my other TTARtisan lens for that matter) and both have permanent, and very distinct places in my lens line-up.

    This is a quality lens, that offers great performance at a budget price. Capable of extremely sharp images. I'm currently using it with my Sony a7Cr in APS-C mode. The menus are easy to follow and there are many options for customization. Image quality is very good, with enough resolution, (61mpx), to allow for deep cropping. Internal image stabilization allows you to capture sharp low noise images even in less than optimal lighting conditions.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for a lower cost lens..

    Colors look good, looks like it’s doing a good job of resolving details on a 26mp sensor. There’s smearing in the corners and a bit of fringing in high contrast areas. Handling is reasonable, focus is smooth and doesn’t require too much rotation. It extends while focusing, which moves the aperture ring, which is weird for muscle memory. I’d like a bit more defined detents for aperture and a thicker ring. Still, it’s a good lens for the price and you can get photos you can enjoy. It has a good retro feel and can get some subject/background separation on apsc. I put on a 43-49mm step up ring and a 49mm pitch cap. I already have a few 49mm filters that I can use with it if I choose to.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Cost Effective Lens
    Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2023
    I bought two of these, one for M4/3rds and one for Sony E crop camera (A6600) because I like them that much. Great value in a very compact beautifully made metal and glass lens. On the Sony 1.5x crop camera it's a little soft in the corners at f/2 but nice and sharp once stopped down a stop or more. Excellent across the frame on M4/3rds. Click stopped aperture ring and nicely damped focus ring. Some folks complain about the screw on metal lens cap, not me. I love them. It's consistent with the build quality of the lens, beside you can always buy a cheap plastic pinch cap for a few dollars if it bothers you that much.

    Even stopping down to f10, I cannot get landscapes to be sharp. However, closer subjects in the focal plane are super sharp.
