Hello my friend! This week I was out and about with my Nikkor DX 24/ f 1.17. If I wanted to be fair, the Nikkor is better in many disciplines, as I have now discovered. But better is not nicer! For all the inadequacies of the TTArtisan, it has a charm or character that makes it endearing! Greetings from Passau
The nikon 24mm is much better especially during night. The fact that you also have af makes it a no brainer most scenarios. But this small TTartisan lens is metallic and well made and like you said, it has a little bit of charm. I just loved using it :) Greetings from Greece once again my friend, take care!
How are you finding the sharpness and contrast of this lens? Are you sharpening or adding contrast in post? I had one for my fuji cameras and found it was quite soft and flat (but I think my copy of the lens was just faulty) I’m about to buy a zfc and want some manual lenses for it.
At f2 it's not the sharpest lens and the contrast is also not the best. Step it down and it becomes quite sharp. Personally I don't mind it at all. For 50$ it's a bargain.
@@IliasKoureas thanks for the reply! I’ve opted for the Tt artisans 23mm f1.4 for a true 35mm field of view. My black zfc and lens turn up today! I’m gunna have to pickup your preset pack that you’ve been using on your images cause they work so well with the zfc files! Thanks again.
Sorry, Ilias, but poor audio spoils this post, IMO. Your voice is muffled and drowned out by ambient noise like traffic. An external mic covered with one of those fuzzy wind breakers should help -- sometimes called "dead cat" covers. Ooops, I forgot you're a cat lover.😃 Kidding aside, I know you can do better. When shooting in manual focus mode, do you ever use zone focusing?
My lav mic actually broke down so i filmed 4 povs in 2 days through my Gopro mic haha. Will get a new one before i film any new povs , but i was happy with the photography so i had to post these !! 😄

I need to to buy the DX 24 f1.7
Wow nice street photography action. 👍🏾. The next lens I want to get for my Nikon Zfc is the Nikon 24mm F1.7
You should my friend! Great optic 🙏
40mm is my fav all day...not to narrow and not too wide.. lovely shots...keep up the good work
It's such a useful focal length! Everything feels natural 🙏

Πολύ ωραίες φωτογραφίες!
Βγήκαν καλές οι ατιμες, ειδικά για πρώτη φορά με τον συγκεκριμένο φακό 😅
