  • In this video I check out the new TTartisan 10mm F2 for Sony E APSC. This lens is moderately good in terms of performance, and it is quite affordable, but there are a lot of other lenses that also fit that criteria around this focal length.

    The closest comparable autofocus lenses, that I know about, are 3-4 times the price (Sony 11, sigma 10-18, Tamron 10-20). There is the Rokinon 12, at a little more than double the price. I think it’s worth keeping in mind, there are lots of people out there that simply can’t afford those lenses, even if we see them as affordable, that’s not everyone’s situation. This lens is a very big deal for those people.
    Good video btw, and cruises are such great family get aways, we are doing one to New Zealand soon.

    I wouldn't mind shooting manually with this lens. While I generally prefer shooting with AF, it really boils down to what we intend to shoot with this focal length. And since I see myself shooting more of landscapes and buildings if I had this lens, I don't mind taking my time with MF.
    For event photography, the AF can save valuable seconds for priceless moments shot at f/2.
    Hmm...but if you're good at zone focusing manually at around f5.6-8, yeah just go with that and get this lens haha!

    Just got back to photography after few years, and I cannot believe the mess in the systems, but the return of the manual lens is a welcome thing. Few years back I could not afford the lenses for my EOS system, now I can get very good grass for a fraction of the price. Not to mention the used stuff. I just got this lens and can't wait to take it out for a spin. With the modern cameras offering the peaking and other focusing aids the manual bit on a wide angle don't bother me at all.

    Have just ordered the Yongnuo 11mm af f/1,8, replacing my old, manual Samyang 12 mm, wich have served me well for many years. At around 300 us dollars (freight/custom to Norway included), it`s much cheaper than Sony 11mm 1,8, and again around 110 us dollar cheaper than the Samyang AF version, at least here in Norway. Has received generally good reviews, so I think it`s a good alternative. When that is said, it`s GREAT that TTArtisan can offer an ultrawide which is way cheaper than even the fully manual Samyang 12mm, will bring more people in to the joy of ultrawide shooting!!

    No offence but lenses have aperture range to allow photographee to use it as per their requirements. Just bcoz an lens is f2 doesn't mean it shouldn't be used at f2 only. This lens is interesting at an price point. Vlog might not found it useful due to its wide nature. But yes photographer will enjoy it. Yes an 8mm f/2 would be way more fun, challenging to design & use.

    When you get driving lessons on board a car with manual gearbox, then you're ready to drive nearly any type of vehicle providing it has a wheel for steering (yes, armoured vehicles are a totally different business, it takes 2 months of training to get them where you want to... kind of).
    And for lenses...well, it may ressemble the previous case. When you get the first bite at photography with film cameras and MF lenses, you can face anything imagery-making throws at you in terms of problems and challenges.
    The "automatic" modes are tools, useful for certain situations... they are great for work, but are absolutely not "default" modes. Unless you want to let a thick portion of your creativity to what lies inside the machine.

    Not remarkable in any way? Did you notice the lack of linear distortion in all of your photos shown here? This is a 10mm rectilinear lens. You don't get the circular curvature you typically get with a 10mm lens. You basically missed the whole point of this lens. Also, there are new people entering the lens market every day--so it not a lens that is late to the market.
