TTArtisan 25mm F2.0 APS-C Manual Camera Lens Portable Cost-effective Camera Lens Portrait Humanity Street Still-Life Lens for Sony E Mount

Ist eins meiner liebsten Objektive und kommt dementsprechend oft zum Einsatz. Natürlich hat es seine Limitierungen, weil es manuell eingestellt werden muss. Schnelle sich verändernde Motive sind da nicht optimal um scharfe Bilder zu schießen. Es sei denn man fotografiert auf F8 oder F16 bei sehr viel Licht. Die Ergebnisse können sich sehen lassen, haben ein schönes bokeh und für mich ausreichende Schärfe. Dabei ist es Preis-Leistungstechnisch nicht zu schlagen.

Très bon objectif, entièrement manuel ! pas d'autofocus, c'est ce que je cherchais.Petit, facile a emporter, discret, parfait pour la photo de rue, pas mal de Lens-flare avec les sources de lumières, donne de super résultats la nuit ou en noir/blanc

I had read some reviews of TTArtisan manual lenses and they seemed like a great deal. I have a Sony Nex 5 camera with the standard kit lens, I wanted a simple every day prime for taking family photos and street photography. This fits the bill perfectly and the vibe takes me back to my old film SLR camera given the manual focus markings on the lens. It is not as quick and modern auto-focus but can be very rewarding to to use. The build is shockingly good quality for the price, it is all metal and the focus/apature rings are smooth and solid. I can't fault it at all. It is also very nicely sized meaning I can easily put the camera into a coat pocket, which is great for days out with the family for for street photography where you don't want to be seen lugging around a giant lens. The image quality is good enough, if you are looking at buying this you are probably a hobbyist rather than a professional and given that you will likely be more limited by your own skill than by the limitations of the lens. I am saving up for a more expensive zoom lens but until that time I am happy to keep this on the camera rather than the kit lens as an everyday or travel lens.

Buena construcción, tamaño muy compacto, gran apertura y luminosidad por el precio.

The lens is so hard to attach and detach that I fear doing so risks damaging the camera body. I will therefore return the lens ... and cannot recommend anyone buying it. Too bad, as I was really looking forward to using this compact lens for street photography. Note that I had the same issue when I first bought the lens a year ago. This with two copies (the purchsed lense and a replacement lens). I then contacted TTArtisan regarding the issue, and hoped that they would have made design changes to ensure compatibility with the Sony E-mount ... but apparently not. As three out of three received lenses have the same issue (with one year gap), this most probably isn't a quality control issue but rather a design issue. By the way, all my Sony lenses attach and detach smoothly without needing to apply any force.
