I have the 7Artisans 25 mm and I use it on my Fuji XE-1, It’s a very nice to use on the streets, I think I need to give one of these TTartisans lenses a try, A 23 mm is an important one to use since it turns into a 35 mm on a crop sensor. Thank you for the video …
i have this lens. i use this until this year i swap to viltrox 23mm (because AF) however this lens is great. is abit heavy on my xt3, but the shots coming out of this lens is amazing. i had great time with this lens for 2 years.
The first lens I bought for my R50 after the two kit lenses included. Had ZERO regrets, shooting mnual is really fun with this lens and it always produces images with a unique feel. The F1.4 is just chefs kiss in this price range...
As a r50 shooter, as i wait for this lens to arrive, thank you for this feedback, im looking forward on using this lense because of this. I have been using ttartisan lense since march (50mm f1.2)
More fan of the TTArtisan 25mmf2. Pancake, eventually sharper (even if slower), less usual focal length. I own the 17mmf1.4 but skipped that one because preferred the 25mmf2.
Yes. I find it one of the most fun lenses to use. It’s decently sharp or at least enough for me, it’s a gem for the price tag. As a wide angle lens, it has a very good performance using zone focusing, I just set it up between f/2.8 to f/4 and do my thing with no worries. Also a very stylish lens to use with a camera such as my xpro3
In had this lens 2 years ago and used it for s couple of months with my Fuji xt1 -till got stolen- and it was my absolute favorite, super comfortable to use. I've now bought it again for my xt20 and I'm actually waiting by the minute for it to arrive :)
Mark I bought a Sony FX30 recently and haven't used the camera. I bought four lenses and one of the lens is a TTArtisan 25mm F2 Wide-Angle APS-C Camera Lens Large Aperture Manual Fixed Camera Lens for Sony E Mount for $51.20 from Amazon.
I have both for Fujifilm mount. I prefer the 25mm. They are both only really suited to street photography where I’m shooting 5.6 and above. The 25 is smaller so it automatically wins and for me more aesthetically pleasing, it also works well with my IR Fuji XE1. The 23 mm f.4 is an ok affordable manual lens but don’t kid yourself into thinking you’re getting close to the performance of the Fujifilm 23mm f1.4 or the 23mm f2 on the x100v and vi or the equivalent Sony, Nikon and canon offerings. It is very cheap though and might be worth considering if you don’t already have the 25 or if for some reason you desperately need f1.4 on a 35mm equivalent with all the compromises.
I have both the 23mm/1.4 and the 25mm/2.0. In my experience, the 23mm is visibly sharper and delivers more contrast and detail wide open than the 25mm, especially at close focus distances. The 23mm can, in some cases, exhibit a slight halation or "glow" around bright, contrasty regions. It's not nearly as noticeable as I've seen in other budget fast primes. The bokeh difference between the two wide open isn't as significant as one might suspect, perhaps because of the very slightly longer FL of the 25mm. In terms of light gathering, I think the f/1.4 rating is a bit optimistic; my tests don't show a full stop more light-gathering in the 1.4, but it's closer to 1/2 to 2/3 stop . There seems to be a little focus shift from wide open to f/2.8 on the 23mm/1.4, so as usual, it's best to focus at working aperture if best sharpness is desired. By f/2.8, they're quite similar in sharpness and exposure, but in general, I prefer the overall rendering of the 23mm. If budget, or compactness is of primary concern, the 25mm/2 is a nice option at a ridiculously low price, but if I were going to keep one, it would be the 23mm/1.4, and if I was buying today, I'd spend the extra dosh for the 23mm. It's a little larger, but is more versatile because of slightly greater light gathering, slightly closer focusing, and it has better close-up and overall sharpness. If stopped-down street shooting is your primary interest, the differences between them are insignificant. I've used them both and have been happy with the results.
They are both great lenses, and good value. The 23mm lets more light in, and might be a little sharpers, but I'm not sure you would see any difference in real world use. The 25mm is smaller, cheaper, and is a great street lens, as you would mostly use it at f5.6+ anyways (don't need the f1.4). There is almost nothing in it, to pick between them.
I used this lens often to bring out to take street snap with Viltrox56mm f1.7 AF and TTartisan10mm for back up. I'm very enjoying it! I love small lenses😂
I picked up this lens for my canon r7, and really enjoy it. The image quality isn’t god enough to allow you to crop much (I shoot wildlife and crop all the time with my 100-500). The inability to crop + zero electronics, makes this a ton of fun to use. You mostly get what you get out of camera, and it forces you to become a better photographer and less of a photoshop guru.
Hey, I thought it was your channel where I saw this first?! Anywhoo I bought one as soon as I smashed my 23mm f1.4 Sigma lol. I thought for travel (and even some product work) it would be good. I was right!
I have this lens and I love it, but it's not a carry everywhere lens. while it is not large, it still is large enough to be uncomfortable on my x-t30. if i'm in a professional setting, than I don't care that it's bigger that I want it to be, but if i'm just walking around with my camera - I want a smaller lens.
Thank you for another great review! Also thought I would mention that you have some wonderful images of the Melbourne area. I just returned from a 3 week visit there. It's incredibly photogenic.
Dude I love this lens. I loaned my zfc to my niece since getting the zf so i havent used it for a while but its such a nice experience. Nice to see it get its flowers. I can go into my Lightroom folder rn and pull shots taken with this lens and redpill anyone on it.
But the f1.4 means really small depth of field, and usually (most lenses requires) you put it a whole stop down for best performance. At least that's what i always do i almost never shoot full lens 'open' , will it be reconized by a Nikon F D7200 or something similar most of these lenses gives an error on my body
Hello everyone, I have the Fujinon XF35mm f/2 in my X-E2s, which I absolutely love! However, I need an affordable, wider lens for photographing wood products that I hang on my wall-something between 23mm and 27mm, manual or auto focus, Which one would you recommend?
Since I bought this lens for my Canon R50 all my much more expensive EF lenses started collecting dust. It may cost little money but it is not a cheap lens by any means.
Hi mark i bought a6600 body today but need a lens with it can you suggest me which ultra budget lens should i start with . As per your suggestion sigma 18 55 f2.8 and tamron 17 70 is out of my league now . I need a ultra budget lens for now and later when i buy the tamron 17 70 so it should still rely to me . Please suggest a lens that will long last and after switching to 17 70 2.8 is shouldnt fell why do i bought this
I have this lens but I've hardly used it. You really have to know what you can get away with shooting on this lens when opening up the aperture as the focal plane is not consistent. At f/1.4 you may focus on something at a distance and towards the center of the image, but notice other items closer to you are also in focus as you get towards the edge of the image. I'm surprised this was not mentioned in the review as it was pretty quickly obvious when I started using it.
I only picked this up when editing the video, some shots, wide open, had a different focal plain in the corners. I should have add it to the video, you're right.
More to do with last vlog filters I've been in Astro telescope with mirrorless a while for planets colour filters with planets do bring out contrast particularly light blue .V rarely come across much in terestrial photography .Interesting try buildings architecture like u have found uv filters hard to notice tried colour correction filters and likewise nebula filters do work a bit
It can be hit and miss, if you have good eyes it's easier. That can be part of the fun and way you engage with the creative process, I prefer sooting manual lenses.
You should probably differentiate whether you're talking about full frame vs aps-c when it comes to your comments in relation to focal lengths because those who don't understand better will likely get confused fast.
Well.... Totally soft edges until f5.6, soft center until f2, lots of chromatic aberration and so on. The only positive about this lens is build quality and price.
23mm & 25mm doesn't do it for me 18mm and 35mm is a great combo though. 27mm is ok. Didn’t like 16mm either. The 7artisans 35mm1.2 mark2 is amazing and better than the new Voigtländer version
@@randyk1919 Yeh it was ok, I guess it's good for the price. I just find it hard to obsess over new lenses haha. Now the Helios 40. I can obsess over that. The Jupiter 9. I can obsess over that. This lens, not so much. I sold mine a few months after buying it.
I have this lens on my m43 camera, so it equates to 46mm on FF. I like the lens, the look, the image quality. However, it is heavy and bulky for m43, for my GX9. I use it with a grip on my camera for better handling. I would not use it for travel. I recently bought the Pergear 25mm f1.7, that is very small and light. I am just getting used to it, so far I am impressed. MF lenses can be fun.
There's no such thing as the best focal lenght, and even less for a medium wide lens. I could like more 55 or 57mm for the puny small FF35 format, or 120mm for 6x8, but in practice sometimes I find 43mm better for FF35, not very often but I still need it, or 90-93mm for 6x8, sometimes only 39mm gets the image I want on FF35, or 84-85 on 6x8, then sometimes 35 is better on FF35 but not that often, sometimes 31, 30, 29, 28, with or without PC shift, sometimes only a 26 can get the job done, sometimes only 24, very very rare a 20 on FF35 but sometimes is the only one that can get the image, 20 would be more useful for the much smaller then small shity APS-C if I would care about that - but I don't, sometimes only 15mm can get it on 35, but other times 85-90mm is the one, sometimes 135mm, sometimes only 200, sometimes only 300, sometimes only 600, etc. You can use a 300 instead of 400 and crop a little, or even 800 instead of 2400 for the Moon and crop a lot, but if you use a 70 or even 77 instead of 85-90 for a bust portret you need to crop and realy not get closer then 1.5m because the adult human head gets distorted, jared, gouggled from less then 1.5m with any focal lenght on any format, you need 5X spatial/volumetric diagonal of the subject for natural perspective. And on top of perspective distortion with any focal lenght, we get other distortions like the horrific droplet distortion with wider lenses, that is the correction for barrel distortion so tough luck with that...
Totally understand the reading of the script / screen but.. Just back the camera off a teeny-bit, so I don't immediately know you're reading. I'd connect w/ the words more. Natural..
Thanks, was my first attempt with the prompter. I'm having some issues with my speech and trying to keep the channel alive, this is helpful information.

Hence, ppl like myself will be able to know what lens n info you of the lens u r referring to. I turn on subtitles but when you switch fr one lens to another i got lost. Just a suggestion
I find no reason whatsoever to obsess over any lens at all, we all know they serve different purposes, some are better than others, some are cheaper than others, this is a cheap good one all around, but again, wouldn’t obsess over it, I would obsess over capturing wonderful images though.
Got one on Amazon for my Leica CL and used it for 1 week. Focusing scale was completely off that made it a nightmare to use for anyone that doesn’t have all day to shoot a photo. Total garbage. Sent it back. Waste of time.
I have no clue what is special with this lens. For me it is another glass-n-metal manual focus sub lens with make-up face made by artizan. I prefer Nikon 1.7/24 because I do not collect lenses, but use them for photography
Yeah it seems like everyone like the 25mm F2 more than this one, "Why Photographers are Obsessed with the TTArtisan 23mm f1.4" is a weird incorrect title.

@@Renzsu I love getting these cheap mf lenses to play with but this one is just TOO ugly 💀 better off with the pergear 25mm f1.6
@@Renzsuyou can just buy it from TTArtisan already all-black.
I find no reason whatsoever to obsess over any lens at all, we all know they serve different purposes, some are better than others, some are cheaper than others, this is a cheap good one all around, but again, wouldn’t obsess over it, I would obsess over capturing wonderful images though.
Got one on Amazon for my Leica CL and used it for 1 week. Focusing scale was completely off that made it a nightmare to use for anyone that doesn’t have all day to shoot a photo. Total garbage. Sent it back. Waste of time.
The focus scale is adjustable.
Wait? Who is obsessed? this lens is very mid with ALOT of similar if not better lenses on the market.
At least be semi useful and list them so people can go look them up.
Which lenses are better?
I have no clue what is special with this lens. For me it is another glass-n-metal manual focus sub lens with make-up face made by artizan. I prefer Nikon 1.7/24 because I do not collect lenses, but use them for photography
Jeez Mr. High Horse, seriously gonna compare a $2k lens to a $115 lens? 🙄
I’m more obsessed with my 25 f/2.
Yeah it seems like everyone like the 25mm F2 more than this one, "Why Photographers are Obsessed with the TTArtisan 23mm f1.4" is a weird incorrect title.
I'm a BIG fan of that one too.
