Product Information

You may actually prefer manual focus and the feel of an all-metal-constructed solid lens. There is certainly a tactile difference and it would be great if you could try all options before making a decision. Same holds true with the sun close to a corner of the frame. Leica M10 | TTArtisan 50mm 0.95 | f/0.95 The other issue lies in the instructions about how to correct and how much to turn that flange for adjustment. Again, a 35mm 1.4 and a 50mm 0.95 have vastly different corrections levels, and the suggestions in the instructions are way too much for the lens in hand. Have a look at the instructions on the focus chart itself: if you follow that reference amount of turning according to where the lens is focusing you are in for some surprises! I never expected to follow these indications to the letter given that the lens was such a different one but I think a dedicated set of instructions should be supplied. I will only cover the really obvious alternatives in detail here, but if you ended up here by accident and you are looking for a slower 50mm lens or even an AF lens may have a look at our Guide to 50mm lenses for Sony E-mount. E-mount The red mounting-index ball is visible in low light, and easy to feel in total darkness. Every lens should be be like this, but too many others hide the index marks and don't make them feelable, as if they're deliberately trying to hide these very important marks.

Another thing I appreciate: the TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 infinity stop is well calibrated! Or at least, my M6 rangefinder seems to be in agreement with the mechanical infinity stop of the lens. This is a first for a TTArtisan lens (at least for me). There are many nice 50mm lenses out there, with which one could compare this lens to, but they would mostly be full frame lenses for other systems that would have to be adapted, for example Leica 50mm f/1.4 Summilux, Voigtländer Nokton 50/1.5, 50/1.2 or 50/1.1. TTartisan even has their own 50mm f/0.95, and 50mm f/1.4 for M mount, and 7artisans made the 50mm f/1.1 as well as the Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 – So there are PLENTY of options for fast fifty lenses in a lot of different price ranges. The Mitakon 50mm f/0.95 is an all-metal lens that looks just like the LEICA NOCTILUX-M 50mm f/0.95 with good-enough optics for people who don't actually shoot LEICA. When we buy cheap item, we dont only something of low value, we buy something which kills our economy!!! Which return we have from this big bully? Just bully.Also note that I focused on the corners for these shots, if you focus on the center the corners will look slightly worse. It appeared to be in focus, and the focus peaking indicators on my Z6 II would say that it was, but I often saw that the focus was off in the final image. And this wasn’t just at f2; I saw this all the way until f4 even. With every other manual focus lens I’ve used on this camera, even at f1.4, the focus peaking was accurate. Even when the depth of field was shallow, it was always accurate. If it was off, it was either because the subject had moved out of the focal plane or I did. Now at f2, I was willing to blame myself for not being steady enough to nail the focus. But when there was sufficient focal range at apertures like f4, I was stumped over why the focus would be off. I haven’t included the onion ring bokeh in the cons because almost every aspherical lens has it and it wouldn’t be fair putting it as a con. The heavy vignetting wide open is to be expected from such an extreme design, although is should clear up closing down. The streak across the balls - the bokeh balls! - is a sample variation, so it’s a con but it’s only this specific sample. Very short telescoping built-in hood. It doesn't do much. It's stiff so it's not that easy to pull-out, but does tend to stay where you put it: Flavio, maybe not the performance but some character. E.g. 7Artisan 50 f1.1 is IMHO fantastic lens looking at images it produces. It is not the sharpest, contrasty or best corrected glass but it has something. I think it's much better option than the 0.95 monster.

Good to hear you can still get work done with your models. funny story — there’s a hotel we’ve stayed at for years. Friends with all the staff, including a flamboyant woman in reception. Turns out she does theater burlesque — competitive, no less, and it has to be G-rated. With COVID shutting down all kinds of theater, I think I’ll suggest she use remote too, and set up the contests online.In the end we are in a similar situation here as we were with the TTArtisan 21mm 1.5. At this price point there is no alternative with the same specs available, but there are clearly some compromises you should be aware of, which I tried to outline in this review.

To use a smattering of lens clichés, the TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 is an ultra-fast character lens that is able to render dramatic 3D-looking images with a medium-format look. It is sharp (in center), contrasty (when stopped down a bit), and has accurate colors (except at wider aperture, where things cool considerably).Because the price on western market is final price after all export costs and with the country costs in which they are sold … … gap is big very very big. When the major cameras and lens makers will close like in garment industry and so on, … Stopping down to f/2 the sharpens up quite a lot and becomes a lot more contrasty. As is to be expected. Optimal sharpness is achieved at f/5.6-f/8, but who on earth buys a 98USD 50mm f/1.2 lens to shoot it at f/8?….. yeah…didn’t hink so either! Still, for some a very nice bokeh rendering can easily make up for shortcomings in these areas, so let us have a closer look what the TTArtisan 50mm 0.95 has in store for us. Voigtlander lenses compared: Left to Right – Skopar 2.5, Ultron f2, Nokton 1.4, Nokton 1.2 v3, Nokton 1.2 v2 The XF50mm f/1 R WR has autofocus, and obviously the IQ from that lens will run circles around the TTartisan 50mm f/1.2. But in reality these two lenses can’t really be compared based on anything other than their shared focal length.

The very fast maximum aperture is what sets this lens apart from most of the other 50mm lenses. I don’t want to anticipate the conclusion right at the beginning, but if you don’t want to use this lens at f/0.95 there are definitely smarter options available. I will therefore heavily concentrate on how this lens performs wide open, especially as a portrait lens. Handling / Build Quality TTArtisan 50mm 0.95 By comparison the Zhong Yi 50mm 0.95 III designed for E-mount shows similarly bad corners but the midframe looks quite a bit better from f/2.0 onwards. infinity (24mp Leica M10) I of all people know the appeal of owning an f/0.95 lens, but if you do not intend to use that aperture all the time you might want to consider a slower alternative, especially the Voigtlander 50mm 1.2 E.

Summarized Pros and Cons of the TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95

Your pictures Niks look like one of the World Press Photo 2021 for which I have made a google translation “A Buddhist temple occupies one half of a mountain, while the other was carved by the mining industry, in Hpakant, Kachin State, Myanmar, July 15, 2020. – HKUN LAT, MYANMAR For comparison’s sake I included the Zhong Yi Mitakon 50mm 0.95 II here. Despite the significantly smaller rear lens diameter interestingly the amount of optical vignetting is very much comparable to the Zhong Yi 50mm 0.95 and there is also none of that strange light spill.
