Chris, I've noticed you mention focus breathing not being an issue for video makers on a few of your videos now - just wanted to say for wide lenses us landscape photographers really appreciate this information as well! I often require focus stacking for my work and lenses with focus breathing can make this incredibly hard. It's one of the key aspects I look for in UWA lenses.

I really want Ttartisan to succeed to bring us consumers more option and quality

@@dicekolev5360 then you have extremely poor judgement for lens quality because those cheap Chinese lenses don’t hold a candle to anything in the Nikkor Z lineup, regardless of price point, and there is NOTHING “amazing” about any of 7artisans or TTArtisan offerings, absolutely nothing! In most cases old manual lenses from 40+ years ago can outperform their junk

The vid we have been waiting for for this lens. Thanks Chris!

Rectilinear, almost without distortion, f2 , and for video on a full frame camera with stabilization crop you get an effective 13mm, for the price this is a fantastic lens.

For me it's an ideal lens for video with a full frame camera. The vignette would be gone after stabilization crop.

This is very good at its price.

The full frame coverage is pretty good. I think only need 1.2x clear image zoom.

For the price at f2.8 this lens is amazing. And being full manual, there's hardly anything to be concern about getting damaged over time.

I'd like to request for a review of 7artisans 12mm f2.8 mark ii, also apsc lens. There are not many reviews of this lens. I wanna know how the CA is like at the corners and what the sun star looks like. Im looking for a "sun star" lens to add to my arsenal and this 10mm f2 looks like a major candidate.

Pls advise me which one to chose between TTArtisan 10mm f2.0 & Meike 10mm f2.0 ?? For fuji X mount..

Thanks for video!

I love their apsc 35mm f1.4

Will IBIS work on Canon R7 and this lens ? This lens or RF-S 10-18mm for R7? Thanks

Please keep talking :-). So valuable... Well, with this optical quality it must be a bit of a disaster on the Canon R7 with 32.5 Mpix. Canon's 10-18 may be better optically, but it starts at f/4... corner sharpness is key for such a wide angle. I wonder how it would hold up on an R8 in crop mode. R8 crop is about 10 Mpix which is similar to my departed 40D, more than enough for most purposes. Gosh, what a breathtaking imager this R8 is!

Would this lens be better suited for black & white photography and black & white video?

I am looking for a lens for interior architecture photography. Will this lens fit the panasonic lumix gx800k camera?

Hey I was playing with the focus on this lens and found anything more than 3 feet away is infinity and not 8 feet. Is this right?

How does this compare to the Sam Yang 12 mm F2.

Any chance to see a review of the TTArtisan 25 mm f2.0?

Anyone knows how TTArtisan performs in comparison to 3 x more expensive also manual Chinese lens Laowa 9mm f2.8?

hey can you tell me what is the sharper 10mm or 9mm len for you?

please review the ttartisan 7.5mm f2 too

Really curious if it's wider than the iPhone's ultra wide lens

Which would you prefer for Fuji: this or the samyang 12mm f2? Much appreciated.

This looks very cool. I wonder how it would work on FF but taking a wide centre crop like an Xpan. Thanks for the review.

I believe the rok has better image quality for the age, better coma for astro and 67mm might be a better filter thread size. The ttartisan is better with flaring The main question is if you need 10(15) or 12(18) focal length. I am biased because I own the rok but I'm looking forward to get the af version with better coating

The low amount of distortion is surprising for such a wide Lens 😮

So refreshing to hear "bokeh" with the correct pronunciation.

This lens makes me confused about choosing it compared to the Meike 10mm f2, especially regarding its very compact dimensions.

Is it the same performance in a full frame camera, for example a Z6II?

@Durio_zibethinus

No, it's for apsc sensor. You can crop but it'll be too much and a waste for your camera capability.

For Fuji X, I'm still stuck on the Fuji 8mm f3.5. Slower, but wider. Much pricier, but optically perhaps the best UWA available outside the humungous 8-16mm, which I own but never carry just because I MIGHT use it.

Or the Viltrox 13 at the other end of the price spectrum, not as wide, but the corners of this remind me of the Fuji 10-24 I got rid of, because past 16mm, the 18-55 is better anyway.

@@awake780 potentially, but if you watch Chis’ review, the corners still seem pretty soft, which for the kind of landscapes I like to shoot doesn’t work particularly well. It seems like it has the same problem the 10-24 does, which is that by the time you correct a shot at 10mm in something like DxO, you may as well have been shooting the Viltrox 13 or Fuji 14 because the distortion means you lose a bunch of your image.

Well, it's aimed as budget friendly option for smaller sensor (which is generally more affordable). The surface area for fullframe is considerably large and made the cost production skyrocket!

I guess for $159 it's an OK lens for someone on a budget (and who doesn't mind manual focus). Luckily color fringing you can sort of deal with in post processing so it's not the end of the world. I have one of their 7.5mm fisheyes I bought for about $150 and granted it's not anything like the OEM versions (from Nikon, Canon or Sony) it also costed a fraction of the price, so given it's price point ($150 for the fisheye, or even $159 for this wide angle) I think they are acceptable options. Obviously you aren't paying much here so you likely aren't getting anything extraordinary either.

All I own are EF & EFM .... So not good 4 me!!

Is this a zoom lens?

I would really appreciate including the maximum supported sensor size in the title or thumbnail for lens reviews. I often find out about new lenses from videos posted on this channel, and it's not so helpful to see 10mm f2 and then get disappointed when it's for APS-C.

Second!

Please, help me with $200 so that I can afford a meal with my family on Christmas. Otherwise, things are impossible for us.
