TTARTISAN25mm F2.0 APS-C Manual Camera Lens Portable Cost-effective Camera Lens Portrait Humanity Street Still-Life Lens for Fuji X Mount

Perfect as an additional lens, and great to learn focus and aperture skills!This lens is great value for money and the functionality of it for the price is as good as more expensive lenses.

This lens is well made of metal, and looks and feels good quality. It also comes in smart packaging. Yet it is as cheap as chips (in photographic terms, anyway)! Of course it's not perfect: there is some barrel distortion which gets quite noticeable close up, and vignetting in the corners at maximum aperture. More annoying is the imperfect focus at infinity - you need to crack the focusing ring back by a couple of mm to get distant objects in focus. Using focus peaking on a Fujifilm X camera really helps in getting sharp photos.For rapid trouble-free shooting set the aperture at f/8 and a pan-focal focus distance of 3m and most of your shots will be fine. This lens gives the nearest thing to the experience of using a manual film SLR back in the day, with similar results. It's a keeper!

Very well-built lens. Small and light. Image quality impressive for the price. Overall, great value piece of kit.

Arrived nicely packaged and next day. Well what can I say. This lens is awesome if you take into account it's manual only. Got it paired to my Fuji xm1 and for day to day photography you can't fault it. If you want to pixel peep then you will find some flaws, but normal people that use it and want to try an awesome manual lens that does not break the bank then get this. I changed the lens cap for a pop on type as I prefer these type of lens caps.

This lens has no right to being this cheap, its build quality is fantastic and the picture output on a 40mp XT5 is amazing. Yes there is some vignetting but not much and is usually a wanted effect when shooting wide portraits, at f5.6 it is completely gone when doing landscapes or street.The infinity focus mark is a tad off but can be easily corrected by loosening the screws.

I'd read and seen some great reviews and was looking forward to trying out this lens, however, all was not well. I am sure it was my copy and possibly not common to all, but the lens moved about a great deal on the camera mount of both of my cameras. (my other lenses do not)Secondly, the lens was not set to infinity correctly. I am aware that this is the case with a few lenses, but please, it's difficult to do in the factory, why should the customer have to do it.So the lens was returned and refund received which was promptly put towards the 27mm f2.8, and my faith in TTArtisans is restored, a much better lens.

This lovely lens is ultra compact, has a reasonably wide aperture (f2) has stepped aperture ring, and is remarkably sharp for its price, especially at f5.6 - 8. Of course it's manual focus only but if you stop down to these apertures everything from 3 mts and beyond will br in focus. Produces lovely starburst from points of light at night but light reflections can get pretty bad on the front element. The bokkeh is very pleasant, not too woolly. If you need a budget lens but one that produces great results look no further.

Picked this up on a whim. Great little lens. Does it's job well. Has character, and it very much a part of my kit for portrait street photography.
