TTArtisan lenses for Fujifilm
Half the range focuses itself, half asks you to do it.
6 lenses from TTArtisan for Fujifilm. 0 are Fujifilm’s own and 6 come from 1 other brands, among them TTArtisan. Focal lengths run from 23 mm to 56 mm, 6 are primes and 0 are zooms. The fastest opens at f/1.2.
TTArtisan sits on the line between budget manual glass and cheap autofocus. Three of its six X-mount lenses focus automatically — 23mm f/1.8, 27mm f/2.8 and 56mm f/1.8 — and three do not: the 25mm f/2, the 35mm f/1.4 and the 50mm f/1.2.
The manual lenses are the more interesting half. An f/1.2 at 75mm equivalent costs a fraction of any autofocus equivalent, and for portraits taken at a considered pace the missing autofocus matters less than the price does. The autofocus three are conventional by comparison: useful focal lengths at moderate apertures, priced below the native alternatives
