this is really shitty

I had no idea there were video reviews! Been following the blog for years.

Am ordering a copy to complement my 40 mm f2 for my Nikon Zf body an excellent review 😊

Good real world review, I'm picking one up next week

Wonderful review

I have the TTartisans 100/2.8 bubble bokeh, one more of this type lens I don't need.

Great review, thank you! I have it on ore order. Since this is mostly a character lens, the flare is desirable for artistic shots.

You can keep that I will stick with my 500cm. Thank you.

it would appear to be a faithful Biotar reproduction with lesser coatings

I have this lens and I love it and you echo most of my thoughts on image quality. I love the compact size and weight. Side note ….i enjoy your channel you do an excellent job !

The best review of this interesting lens I found today. Thanks.

TTartisan Helios 58mm should be their next goal, I will buy it in a heart beat.

The 3d pop at 16:38 is nice. $269 -289 for a new classic lens sounds reasonable.

To mention are the other 75mm options (because rare and therfore easy and useful to compare, EVEN if this one is probably the only one of this kind of background... or the petzle?) ..Such as by Voightlander and the probably very interesting Samyang AF.

Very thorough review! Thanks for sharing your findings.

I check your website regularly, i had no idea you had a youtube channel!

Wow. Not just a great review of the lens, but this video sets the bar for review technique in general. Thank you for making this!

Perfect Review!!!,...Thanks!

I really wish it were preset aperture

Bokeh is truly special

You really did your research! Great Video Great Information and Great Pictures 👍

6:52 well the preset is actually really nice thing to have with this lens. You can shoot closed down and focus wide open by setting the preset at a desired aperture. In most cases you can't focus closed down or at least it will not be precise.

Stupid they bring it in MFT mount!

I own this lens and new Helios 40-2. While this lens is easier to use and smaller, Helios is superior optically wide open. Much sharper with better contrast.

You've tried both lenses. Which one would you go for, this TTArtisan 75mm f/1.5 or the Zenit MC Helios 40-2 85mm f/1.5 that they are making in Russia again?

Great review! Especially loved the detailed analysis of the bokeh at various focus distances. Now we just need a comparison video vs. the Helios 40 and the Helios 44. :) And if you could do that on a GFX as well as a Full Frame body, that would be even better.

Very good samples!

Fantastic review. Very detailed.

I think you forgot to put the links to the blog post and photos in the description

Nice Video. -PD

Really appreciate the comprehensive review you did. Those vignetting figures are astounding. It seems because this is based on a lens with a decently large image circle (because it was TS lens in it's first iteration, and also because even now it's still advertised as a GFX capable lens), we get this really low level of corner darkening on full frame. The only real issue I see for proper macro, is the focus throw not being longer. At 2 to 1 magnification, trying to get manual images for focus stacking would be a nightmare. Likewise, a lens hood would have been appreciated. But other than that, this thing looks unbelievable for the price if you don't need auto focus.

If your after fast birds like Swallows, Falcons and using 600mm etc its very useful and once you get the hang of it will give you great shots you would of otherwise missed. like everything you have to put the time in and practise.

I agree that it is a very nice lens. It is sharp and has a nice bokeh. Of course, there are some things that could be improved. The autofocus could be a bit faster and it is also a bit disappointing that it is "only" an f1.8 lens. If it was an f1.4, it would be perfect. However, looking at the recently announced 50mm f1.4, it seems that f1.4 lenses are harder to design, as this lens is in my opinion neither as sharp in the image corners nor does it have a bokeh that is as nice as the one of the 50mm f1.8 S.

It’s a good idea, but I feel it wouldn’t work on a big lens, my 500/4 is too heavy to hold steady at arms length. When I used to digiscope years ago, there was a technique that used a zip tie. It’s called the Cable Tie Sight ( only in angled scopes only ) take a look on Bird Forum where it’s discussed more in depth. My Canon 100-400 Mk1 has a trombone type of focus, a push/pull mechanism which allows me to locate the bird at 100mm in the sky, then zoom in to 400mm and be bang on target, by far the quickest easiest focus system for bird photographers ever.

Thank you for sharing

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😄

Hi, TT ARTISAN and you say that it needs a subject 10 meters away. But I’d like to use it for proxi photos of dragon flies, could you try at minimum focusing distance (even with recalibration). Thanks

after 45 minutes you can take a picture

I like the idea of this item but I feel it's not ready for prime time. The dot should be a cross-hair, the alignment procedure due to the poor tolerance is a real deal breaker for astrophotography. How do you do a re-alignment it total darkness ? Thank you for a very thorough review.

I wasn't even aware these sights were a thing for photography. Thank you for the thorough review, and the nice bird photographs!

At 2x magnification what is the distance from the subject to the front of the lens? A lot of these macro lenses change the focal length by moving the internal lens elements and so the focal length might actually be 40mm or something like that. Good review. Regards Gerry

Great review, thanks for that! 👍

Nice video again! Very interesting lens. Seems there is some movement in the Macro lens department, especially as the Astrhori 120mm is out now as well. TTartisan and especially Astrhori seem to get more and more into what was mostly Laowas playground. As I shoot APS-C (for Macro also bit easier depth of field), I prefer the Laowa 65mm f2.8, little brother of the Laowa 100mm f2.8, for its more compact size but still high image quality. This or the heavy Astrhori 120mm get even more front-heavy on a small Sony APS-C camera. Also the wobbling might be a dealbreaker when using it for stacking on a rail...

In the past I didn't have much choice, to have larger lenses because there were less small ones. But now I like having smaller lenses and different focal lengths. Those Z-quality glasses are really good!

High quality plastic... ROFL

Thanks for this video. I love using this lens on my Z fc and wonder how it will perform if I get a full frame camera. I’m thinking of adding the Nikon Z f to my kit.

12:02 I legit thought that lady holding the phone was Larsa Pippen.
