I luv My (2) Z50's (they have their uses for Me n often give Me fantastic images) different tools for different jobs :) There is a Pro Photog in Australia (Newcastle , last name) I have seen recent photos (of his) taken with one of the D5000 style Nikon cameras (Super Nice Photos),,, He is a very good (proficient) Photog. I am guessing but I believe he is in our age group :) ..... When I started My Pro Career in 1969 I used predominantly a 24mm or 105mm on My Nikon F (trying to be different) Although the lens in question (75mm f2) may be considered a (budget lens) I would bet that it would be sharper than the 105mm lens I used (n still have)...... Let us all try to be happy n nice to each other ,,,,,, Good Shooting to You My Friend :) :) :)
i do a good bit of work with TTArtisan here in south africa, our copies only arriving in a week or two, as a budget option its going to be something I can easily recommend to students as well it makes for a lovely workshop lens at 75mm
Fantastic Andrew, I agree a wonderful lens for students in both Z and e mount. How exciting you work with TTArtisan, what sort of projects do you collaborate on? Cheers Matt
@@MattIrwinPhotography for them i do a couple things, i some times alpha test lenses that have not been released yet, like with the 35mm f1.8 had that for a while before it got announced, i also run workshops to showcase the lenses that they produce, i also help create content for the south african side to help drive marketing and sales, as example 2 weekends ago i had the miss teen SA people for a beach session using only the TTArtisan gear for everything we did, the more eyes we can get on the product the better 3rd party lenses will do in the market, even more so when you can see a clear move from them to create better quality optics at decent value for money price points, which works awesome for the students i work with who all fall under the extremely low income area, so they get free education from me and as a plus they can now also get access to decent alternative lenses, it's a win win for all sides
You have never used a 75mm Lens ?.... I have a Vintage Voigtlander f2.5 manual focus .... if you would like to test it and look after the lens I would send it to you for a test ,I have not used this for a while however in the days of film it worked very well. If you would to test it let me know
I have both. They are not really comparable. One is a fully auto Z mount lens, the other a fully manual lens requiring an adapter with a quite extreme vintage look.
Don’t think you are seeing what I am. Buy cheap get cheap. You said 85mm sometimes too long,don’t agree if you use a prime lens then be prepared to step forward or back or crop.

@@MrPawnyou you shouldn't blame someone's ignorance strictly on their age. I'm not going to blame your ignorance on your youth and inexperience. Your right about chinese optics punching above their price point. They having been doing it with red dot sights for weapons for close to a decade.
Thanks for your thoughts Larry. The chapters are there. The journey is up to you. RUclips is interactive online content. As you did not stay to understand the value of this video, how do you know if 10 mins is correct for this piece. It would be disappointing if all RUclips vids ended up being similar. I always appreciate feedback, and will continue experimenting with timing, music, editing and style as that is part of the RUclips journey for the creator. Cheers Matt
Some of us appreciate the effort that goes into making the examples and listening to Matt's experiences which often reveal just as much or more than numbers do
This may be exactly what I have been looking for on my Z50's for portraits!

Excellent review as always Matt. The monochrome correction tutorial was an added bonus..
Good insight as always. This will likely be my first TTArtisan purchase for my Z-mount camera.
Good review. Let's have a comparison between this lens and the Viltrox 85mm
Cheers Keith, will pop it on the production list.

How about the 1.5 version ,it has great bokah apparently.This does look good for an f2.

Looks like a heron

I apreciate your reviews but 24 minutes? I didn't make it to the end. How about 10 minutes? It should be plenty of time to say what needs saying..
Maybe you should try skipping to the end if you find it long winded rather than quitting
Lame reply ,, would like to see your YT Videos,, (what is Your YT Channel name???) :( :( :(
