I need one for my m6 mk ii :(
It's an awesome little lens and I cannot stop getting surprised every time I get an amazingly sharp image at times when I'm not expecting it. I bought it for my street shooting on the budget for my X-E3. The footprint of this combo is just right for the job.
I have the Fuji version which is staggeringly good, never misses focus, beautiful colours and is tack sharp. I bought for £160 second hand (same price as this TTArtisan). I never leave home without it.
Hey love your Channel! Would you rather recommend the ttartisan 27 2.8 over the fuji xc 35 2.0 despite the fact that fujis a plastic lens or is the fuji taking the edge?
I have their 50mm all (manual) for my Sony A7iii. Great lens too. Set the aperture and shutter speed, then let the camera sort out the ISO. Range focusing is perfect for street photography. You can forget about the camera and concentrate on the shot.
Excellent video! Am just loving your presentation style :)

Hey Mark! Super interesting lens, I wonder if they'll bother making it in a Canon M mount at this point, I hope they do. Off topic question for you, I have heard that one of the "problems" with the Canon M6 Mark II is that a lot of the M mount lenses lack the ability to fully resolve all the megapixels on that sensor. Do you think the Viltrox primes are "enough lens" for that sensor, or should I invest in the Sigma primes, or another option entirely?

I was thinking of getting this one for my Fuji X-T3 for a while now. I do own a manual 25mm 1.8 from 7Artisans but sometimes having autofocus is a good QoL. I was also thinking of maybe gettin the Sigma 18-50mm 2.8 for Fuji X Mount, I wonder if you've had a chance to use that lens and what's your opinion on it since it's around 500-600 dollars.

I have a tiny TTArtisan 32 F2.8 full frame lens for my Nikon Z7 for $100, I was shocked that this lens is so sharp, not just in the centre, but right to the corners, wide open. The only downside is lens flare against light sources, which is quite severe. I actually like the slightly lower contrast of these cheap lenses, because I think modern lenses are too contrasty, especially in bright sunny day, which leads to blown highlights and dead shadows, these lenses produce images which look more natural to me, and also give me more headroom shall I need to do post-processing.

@@thestellarelite Not too old, just abandoned. I was hoping third parties would jump in and release some lenses for the EF-M market as soon as Canon abandoned it but I'm fairly sure at this point that that will not happen. Even third parties want nothing to do with it since new cameras aren't being built. Since there are no new cameras the market will shrink as people move on or cameras die and nobody wants to be producing products for a market that only has one way to go. It's very sad for me because Canon can't make an M6II replacement because the lenses will always be much larger. Maybe they could get close with a camera body with RF mount but not an RF lens. Fuji could do it but they spend a lot of time just making weird cameras that don't seem to have any direction (WTH do I care about an LCD showing the label from a film box from the 80's?). Sony does make a camera that fits into the M6II market and the lenses are small but I've had enough Sony's to know that isn't the direction I want to go. So, I wait and keep using my EF-M cameras. I would really like to have a fast, short zoom though. If I had that I'd keep it for the foreseeable future.
How does it perform in low light? For example, during sunset or during evening in the streets with a few sources of light?

Better than a standard kit lens, but but not as good as a f1.8 or f1.4 lens.
On Fujifilm there is an option to buy a used XF 27mm f/2.8 lens for a few more dollars. That is much-much better option, especially the lens coating is far more advanced. I was curious about the TTArtisan version because the XF 27mm f/2.8 (Mark I) doesn't offer an aperture ring, but the flare resistance is horrible (or non exists at all). I really love lens flare as a creative option but the TTArtisan gives an ugly flare that reminds me a dirty phone camera. I hope they are working on a Mark II version with better front element coating.
I own Fuji 27mm f2.8 and I love it. The Fuji version has much better micro contrast and is almost permanently attached to my X-E1. It makes the camera almost pocketable and is fantastic on the go/street photography kit.

The quality of products coming out of China has improved drastically over the last 15 years. (In part due to corporate espionage it should be said.) I first noticed this with Fender and Squire guitars built in China. You can buy an excellent electric guitar made in China for $450. That wasn’t the case in the early 2000s. I own the Viltrox 75mm f/1.2. Aside from the minimum focusing distance, which is a bit crap, everything else about the lens is on par with the Fujifilm 56mm f/1.2. There are some complaints about the sun stars and flaring with the Viltrox but for the price I think that can be overlooked for most users. I’ve never owned a TTArtisan lens but at $150 there’s almost no reason not to give it a try.

This is cool, and maybe the prices have changed since the video was posted, but... there are currently five auto-focus lenses cheaper than this for the Micro 4/3 system. None come with the USB dock/back-cap thing, though, so that's pretty awesome. Edit: it's cheaper on their site, so there's only three lenses cheaper on B&H: Yongnuo 25 and 42.5 f/1.7 lenses, and Olympus 40-150/4-5.6
4:10 so You cannot change the contrast later?😎 For me there is better lower contrast I can increase later (especially in only certain areas of the photo) than too high contrast I cannot decrease. But I don't know about You...😁
The flares around the street light were amazing, best flares ever. I think it adds to the experience and does not take away. The overdone too high contrast of modern lenses and the over-sharpening is a huge turn-off for me. In the beginning I was amazed to have such high contrast and ultra-sharpness As the novelty wore off I'm more than annoyed by the fake over-photoshopped look the new lenses with the newest sensors are prone to give. In best case the shots look like flattened oil paintings, and worse cases appear as overdone AI creations that never saw the light of the day. No wonder AI photography has started scoring points as occasionally more believable than modern sensor/lens shots.

Yes, Sigma has hit a home run with that little 18-50mm.
"walking around, documenting life" is a fast way to get into confrontations, or getting your camera smacked out of your hand onto the pavement - often without warning...

Not sure where you live, but it sounds rough.
Usually hear the mispronunciation "bo-kuh" from Brits, not North Americans. Its "bo-keh" (ボケ). Just a pet peeve of mine. I'll go now, lol.

Haha... I know, I'm leaning into the mispronunciation.

Sometimes when a word moves from one language to another, it shifts in pronunciation. It happens all the time, and it's perfectly natural. Speaking of Japanese and English, how many words moved in the other direction without keeping their original pronunciation? Anyway, I understand and sometimes I'm tempted to share that pet peeve, but thinking of it this way helps me not to worry about it so much, so I thought I'd share.
Could you please make a video shooting yourself with a good phone for video? Like an iphone? I bet the quality would be much better than shooting with this lens :)

Phone footage always looks like phone footage, no matter what you do with it, this is not a bad thing, you can just tell it’s from a phone. The fact is, the phones are great now, and people have seen them so much, that some people prefer phone video over the footage from real cameras, which is fine.

Why would the quality be better on a phone?
5:03 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I never had even a vintage lenses that have this (as oily fingerprint) "style" of look. And I use my vintage Fujinon 1:1.8/55, Canon FD 135mm 1:2.5 S.C. and even the not so good Kinor MC 1:2.8 135 mm I still use on my 550D... Just about the vintage lenses You are using I cannot speak at all... 🙊
I believe this will never be available on canon! For sure!

Thanks for the info.
Neglected to mention, this lens is for APS cameras!
Did you actively try to not mention the name of the lens manufacturer during this video? 😏
I would suggest to skip the kit lens, use the money for this and a third party 50mm manual lens

Yah, when stuff is out of stock on Amazon, something they just put the price up to a price no one will pay, that’s not the actual price. You can also buy direct, I think there is a second link there.

You can turn the ring to "A" and control it with the camera. With a lens, and aperture ring this small, you probably wouldn't be using the ring for exposure control while shooting video.

I’m ready to see the end of these promotional videos for the TTArtisans 27mm f2.8 pancake. There have been too many and it’s dragged on too long, IMO. Also there has been too much praise for this mediocre product, including in this comment section. And yes, I bought the lens and I have taken pictures with it. 😌 Enjoy your photography, everyone!

I think it just an honest reaction to the price to performance you get out of the lens. To my knowledge the company does not sponsor videos, they are just people sharing their genuine feelings about the lens.
That’s cheap!
Ordered mine today just for fun. And sure it has its flaws, but in another video one compared the vignetting to the Fuji 27mm f2.8. Without the lens correction in Lightroom the vignetting is also in the Fuji 27mm f2.8 much stronger. With flair may a good lens hood, and a multi coated UV filter can help? @markwiemels

Lens hoods can help, filter won’t.
It looks like my old Sigma 32.8 EX DN, whose price I think was similar or cheaper. But of course, that was ten or eleven years ago. Would be nice to test this one on my NEX-6
