Yes!!! Absolutely it is. I throw this on when I want to have some fun walking around using film recipes for the day. I always look back and am amazed how much I like this lens when I’m using it that way. Has a touch of nostalgic vibe to it.

Nice review and sample images. I bought the XF 27 WR but then also purchased this TTA version. Immediately returned the XF and kept the TTA, mainly because of the XF’s noisy and inconsistent autofocus. 3rd party manufacturers are really stepping up their game lately for the Fuji lineup.

I’m really glad I’ve seen this comment after watching a few videos of comparisons it was kind of back and forth but actually reading a comment I think I’ll stick with the TTA and pick up their new 35mm af which would cost around the same price as the xx wr 27

thank you so much for the recipes 😍😍 shots look amazing. SUBSCRIBED

The color grading reminds me of that movie, Her. That being said, with all the cons it's still crazy that this is an AF lens for $150. I like the flares but it just takes one frustrating day, right?

I did just what you said in the video, got myself a used Xe1 and paired it with this lens. I am planning to keep it on for as long as it takes me to learn the craft of photography. Cheers!!

I am glad you took my advice, try not to get discouraged. Have as much fun as you can and it will all fall into place.

Best photo examples I’ve seen utilizing this lens. If you can get around the wide open vignetting (I crop most of the time anyway) you can’t beat this lens for the price. It’s currently the only one I have for my xt30ii and makes for a nice compact EDC. Great review; clear and concise with just enough vibes…subscribed!

I just have the 18-50 2.8 zoom lens for now and considering this together with the Viltrox 27 1.2 to cover the 23-35 focal range. Sure it's both the same focal length and I could also get a 23 1.4 and a 35 f2 or vice versa, but this is so much cheaper and gives me one image quality monster and one really light snapshot lens for situations where you don't want to scare people with a bigger lens. It's under €700 for both together, a single 23/33 1.4 by Fuji is more than that

It’s pretty incredible how cheap these lenses are huh? I think that’s not a bad idea if you need something discreet. I wouldn’t try comparing this with the Viltrox though because…. Well it’s just no where close. But lovely lens and the size is hard to beat. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy your lenses, happy shooting

I love all the b-roll in this video! Very dreamy, 🤩✨ I might just have to pick up this lens for my X-T3, the bokeh and film aesthetic it creates are gorgeous. Really love the images at: 0:49, 2:51, 5:22 and 8:04

@@hunterhart1 Just received the TT 27mm. Surprisingly good with great vintage character. Love the vignetting! Will use it for my Pro shoots!

picked one of these bad boys up for $140 shipped during their amazon black friday sale. couldn't be happier with it. if you don't already own the fuji 27 f2.8, this ttartisan version is an absolute no brainer in my humble opinion even at the MSRP of $159.99 + tax.

@@hunterhart1 Some reviewers claimed both lenses suffer from strong vignetting, which is a blatant lie. True is the auto focus on the tta is a dream, but stoped working after a very very minor touch in the subway. I am sure the Fuji auto focus by wire is constructed that way for repair reasons. TT wrote to me that I can throw the lens away, very good for the environment? So there are several reasons to save cash for a much better lens. One reason is service and repairability. After three days I can tell the fuji 27mm 2.8 is a true workhorse… fun fun fun….

@@hunterhart1 I traveled a long trip with the fuji 27mm and I don’t have time to super save my equipment walking the streets in big cities. And whats the case? A bump here, sorry there… and the fuji 27mm still works… exactly the same situation and the tt artisan stoped working…. the service of tt advised me to throw the lens in the trash. This is also a case of non sustainable products which is bad for pur environment we love to take pictures of… this was my last TT Artisan. My impression is the fuji lenses are workhorses. They just get the job done…
