Thank you Andrei

But what we learn here: how cheap lenses can be produced today and how we get ripped off when we buy branded lenses. This might change the industry

They won't stay cheap for long. There's 2 parts of this equation : labor cost in China, and unique supply chain ecosystem, built over decades, with both foreign investments and IP, as well as Chinese government subsidies. But gradually, manufacturing in China is getting more and more expensive. DJI started with producing cheap drones, now they are selling for a premium price. Japan used to produce cheap electronics as well, now they are selling at premium. You are right about getting ripped off though. I have TTartisan 28 2.8 and it's autofocus is much better than the native Sony 50mm 1.8, which costs double.

For sure. Similar to what the Japanese manufacturers did to the established German companies in the sixties.

Honestly, its because most brands overbuilt and overspec the Lenses for their use cases, many hobbyist just want clean enough images. So many brands release their lenses as if they are only for professional work and never release a hobby lens and when they try to do, still releases them at pro prices. Many camera brands blamed Smartphones for a decline in camera sales but really its the pricing.

Bravo, well done. Would be interesting to compare with 1.4

I have several TTArtisans lenses for Micro 43, my latest is the tilt 50mm f1.4. I have had fun using this !

Thanks for the review & enjoy the details

Really love to watch your videos. Can you please suggest between 7artisan 55mm f1.4 or youngnuo 55mm f1.8. Photography is my priority.

hi there sorry i havent try the Yongnuo 55 1.8 so can't really suggest

The price of this lens and fuji xc 35mm f2 is really similar in my country, really wondering about their quality difference..😅

Excellent, thorough review, as usual. I'm curious in regards to lens flare, which I think is a problem other new Chinese lens manufacturers share. Is it that effective coatings are expensive, or is it that the coating formulas of the established Japanese and European manufacturers are "black box" and hard to duplicate? Or is it something else?

@TheRealRichardWong

My understanding is that effective coating is very expensive

love the review! Am I the only one hung up on the fact that there isn't a physical aperture ring?

Looks good!! TT artisan coming a long way quickly …

Did you get a L-mount camera Ben! All L-mount user can just keep asking here and TTArtisan will see the demand and hopefully will do something :)

No L-mount 😢

Hi Weber, I still haven't seen any 3rd party AF lesnes for L-mount yet. But this one is an APS-C lens so probably make sense not to create it for L-mount as there is no APS-C L mount camera in the market right now.
