The Good + Bad TT Artisan 27mm f/2.8 for Fujifilm X Mount.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- The TT Artisan 27mm f/2.8 AF lens for Fujifilm X Mount is a weird lens. It's actually really sharp, even at F/2.8, and chromatic aberration is well-controlled. However, this is a poor-performing lens in other areas, including low contrast wide open, vignetting, and serious flare. Would I recommend this lens? Yes and no, depending on what you're looking for.

Considering that Fujifilm is charging +600 USD/EUR for a 18mm f2… PLEASE TT Artisans make an affordable 18 AF!!!!
Yes Yes!!
The sigma 19 isn’t available for Fuji?
Thanks for making this into a video, as I appreciated the article. This was probably the best review I've seen of this lens though... and I've watched all of them haha. Because I actually just ordered this lens for myself, but it's not here yet. This is will be only my second lens for Fuji after the 16-80, so I'm looking forward to experiencing it. Though I do also shoot some Canon FD lenses, so the rendering might not be too far off what I'm used to!
How did you like it?
After trying out the tt-artisan and the old 18mm f2.0 I must say: Nothing beats the 23mm f2.0 for travelling.
I used the TT Artisan 27 2.8 with my XT5 and I enjoyed it. it's a fun lens perfect for travel. Can't wait for the next iteration. Also, I hope Fuji releases an update to the 18 F2.
Where are the straps you have with your cameras from? Totally digging all the aesthetic.
They're releasing this for Sony soon so I was excited and looking into it more. The insane flaring issue and lack of lens coating is a major flaw I can't get over. I like to shoot on bright days so I'm going to be passing on this one for now. I heard from others TTArtisan has flaring issues on all their lenses.
Low quality glass. Literally.
I find it very good and it is silent on my Fuji xt1 as I have turned off shutter sound. Yes, it is.😊
Looks like you might have got your wish for high performance F2 27mm from Voigtlander! Hope to see some reviews on that soon.
Very pleased with this lens. any small problems can easily be rectified in post.
Exactly, if you know it’s weaknesses and are good in post, this lens is great since it’s so sharp! Glad you’re happy with it.
The Fujifilm 27mm is just far too expensive for an amateur walkabout lens. It is good that TT Artisans have taken the fight to Fujifilm and I think the slight comprises in image quality might be worth it for the intended users.
Thanks for the review. Far more pros than cons as far as I'm concerned. Think I might order one soon, and hope that the QC is better than with the 7.5mm Fisheye* I had to send back.
*Optically the lens was fine, but the focus ring wasn't oriented correctly. To focus at infinity I had to set the ring at 0.5 metres, so scale focusing was impossible. The store checked the other one they had in stock and it had the same problem.
this being almost just as compact as the fuji 27 and cheaper makes this looks very interesting and appealing to get
The Fujifilm lens is smaller for sure, but they’re both small enough. The aperture ring is nicer on the Fujifilm, but autofocus is better on the TT Artisan
I kind of like the cons on this lens. It is a lot like my beloved Yashica Mat 124g.
How about the Voigtlander ULTRON 27mm F/2 ? Super sharp with a great manual focus ring and true infinity ♾️
FYI the firmware can only be updated using Windows. If you use macOS it becomes unusable
Great review. I subscribed. And I bought the lens. Excellent point, "There are filters that cost more than this."
I just checked and it is not possible to update the firmware on a Mac. Windows only.
I'll take the TTArtisan 25mm f/2 manual focus. I prefer its unique signature, a bit of old and new.
Stellar and concise review, thank you Take
Thanks for watching!!
@@bigheadtaco I always recommend your videos to my peers. Godbless you and Camera Girl
I wish Voigtlander would make a 40mm f2 that was high performance, it doesn’t need to be APO (though their 50mm APO is awesome) but at least to the level of their 35mm Ultron, I would love that. Their 40mm f2.8 lens is just okay.
Why not adapt the M mount Nokton 40F1.4? Pretty classic bokeh wide open but it quite sharp by F2.8, small, and none of the barrel distortion of the 35F1.4
Voigtländer produces a 27 mm f2 … just saying….
I'm going to try part exchanging my old 27mm (without aperture ring) for the new one with aperture ring. In my dreams I come out with a net payment lower than the TT artisan. In my dreams.
Would a lens hood or filter help with shooting into the sun to eliminate flares?
Would this be a good travel lens and take hiking?
It would be nice if TT Artisans expanded this offering to MFT
I guess 27mm on MFT would be a weird focal length? 54mm I think? But you’re right, why not? They already have the lens, they just have to swap out the mount and reconfigure the connections.
@@bigheadtaco 55mm and 58mm lenses exist in FF world. It wouldn't be that odd. Plus they had the sigma 30mm offering which was many times more expensive than this.
Voigtlander have a 27mm f2 X mount due to be released. Manual focus, of course.
That’s pretty exciting, since Voigtlander makes 40mm lenses for 35mm. I heard Viltrox is working on an AF 27mm f/1.4 for X Mount, but it’ll be a monster size lens.
@@bigheadtacoit is. Already at Fujirumors site. We have not go for APSC for such monster lenses. Non sense for me.
Is that the Ultron? Quite nice lenses those, anyone heard what the price will be?
4:22 how hard is it for manufactures to add a WR seal...really, how hard!? Thank you for the review btw.
On a 2 week wait for the fuji version. Really not worth the price for me. Im canceling that I've and getting this one. 27mm at 2.8 isnt anything to write home about anyway. For 150 why not?
I've had some of the best Fuji lenses including the renowned Fujifilm XF16 mm F1.4 R, and I can tell you that the Fuji pancake 27mm f2.8 is a great lens. It is really sharp and for street photography at f5.8 it is wonderful.
I’d also love a sharp, good contrast 27mm f2 lens. No need for pancake, too much compromise. Should be more silent than Fuji’s 27 which is ridiculous. Looks like Ttartisan needs to fix the focus and sharpness on this one. I like ttArtisan when they do a good job but not this one from what I can see.
I believe we will be treated to a high quality F2.0-27mm APS-C lens very soon. I see it coming from Tamron, Sigma or Rokinon. Two reasons why. The market has been saturated with more common focal lengths. They need to market something new, and the latest craze is to mimic a Fuji X-100V, by adding a pancake lens to your existing APS-C or full frame body. The price on E-bay for used pancake lenses has increased significantly. Sony released their trio of F2.8 and F2.5 lens - and included a 40mm. There aren't a lot of 40mm full equivalent lenses out there, but those that have them seldom give them up. So Rokinon, I am waiting....
I dig the new set.
Thanks. Not as cool as yours, but I work with what I have :-)
Great video! Thank you!
My go to lens is the 35mmf2 one, but I would like a pancake one. Do you think I could switch without loosing quality ?
Nice review !
Use both of them! 27mm for travelling maybe
Great review ❤ how it is perform with XT 100 ?
Great images! I am planning to get this for my XT4. Manual or Autofocus? It's $80 vs $200 in Canada, but I intend to do street photography with it
Autofocus for street
I have the 23mm 1.4 and love it. I was considering this one but the cons keep me from considering it.
Well, lucky for you now Viltrox has a 27 mm F1 .2
How about the Sigma 30mm f1.4?! Its insanely good
Does it improve with a lens filter? (Flaring)
Viltrox will bring a 27mm f1.2. But it will be big and chunky
Ya, I already saw the pics. If they ask if I want to review, I’ll do it, but worried about size and weight. The bokeh better be worth it :-)
I've had this lens for a month now and it hasn't left my X-E3 in the time. f4 to f8 is really impressive for sharpness and contrast. The issues with f2.8 mean I've learnt to treat this as a f4 lens. On the other hand, f2.8 has vintage-like character and when used indoors at f2.8 people like the images I take of them 🙂so I'm probably too picky. I don't mind the vignetting but the flaring is annoying, and the only downside IMO. Overall, it's a keeper 😀.
This lens seems for people to make their own X100 V's, using an X-Pro, X-T3 or any other Fujifilm mirrorless body :D
And that don't want to spend $1500+ for the one X100 V, that cannot be even found easily to buy.
Find an older X-E3 and this lens, you’re ready to roll for less than half the price of a X100V 😊😊
Great value for money, I like it for the X-E series.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. X-E3 and this lens and you’re ready to roll for not much money
Is this good for X-E2 as well?
@@angatpinoy2 it will mount for sure
Nah but I’m stunned about the great stereo sound my iPhone produces😮
True review
No one says it's a 64 mm lens but filters are 67. This means u can't use filters
For the price there should be no complaints
what material is this made from metal or chinesium?
No miracle considering the price
For sure, but $150 is still a pretty fair retail price.
You wanted a 27 f/2 but isn't that the lens on the x-100 series? Also they are making a 27 f/1.2 (viltrox)
X100 series = 23mm f2
For a $150 its worth a shot..
It’s definitely not a huge risk to play around with. I already have a few friends buy it after seeing my Fujilove review as they’re curious how it’ll look like with their own JPEG recipes.
The first lens I bought. I think it has character…. 😂
Chinese space debris
Better to pick up the original version of the Fuji 27mm for $200. The lack of an aperture ring is far less of a wart than the multiple optical issues with TTA.
