  • I can't believe how good this wildlife telephoto prime lens is. The budget $369 TTArtisan 500mm f6.3. Using it on the Nikon ZF in 4k 60fps with a crop, and HD 120fps. Image how good this would be on the Z6 III? This is probably sharper than the 180-600mm f5.6-6.3, and way cheaper than the 600mm f6.3. It's only flaw is the lack of image stabilization and the stiffest manual focus ring you've ever seen.

I looked through 100s of photos and found that most of my shots were in the 500mm range. Those dang nikon z primes are expensive as hell. I can't afford it 😢 this lens you're reviewing looks fun. Especially for the price. I saw another review on it recently, apparently its good enough to use for deep space astro photography.

    That thing actually looks amazing for the price. There's a couple of those artisans lenses I've tried that i like a lot. I think it has to do with the limited amount of glass that gives them vintage character while still being sharper than most vintage glass. My next lens might be the 50 1.05 from the 7artisan variety.... Or the Zeiss 55 for twice the price idk. I already have so many lenses in the 40-65 range. I still don't think anything will beat the voigtlander 65

    I'll have to make this quick before the camera police show up to haul me away for using a tripod. I have the Sony 200-600mm and leave it at 600mm always...and only zoom wide occasionally. Zooming is not a problem...it's an advantage. The manual focus throw is good. I use that along with autofocus as I shoot fast moving subjects with difficult backgrounds that make subject recognition tough. I do like that the Sony focuses much closer than this ttArtisan. And I have my doubts about the ttArtisan being sharper. Regardless, if the manual focus is too slow to get the shot, sharpness won't matter. I'll be sticking to my Sony...and the 1.4x teleconverter. 500mm prime that doesn't take a teleconverter...hard no. If you want something really light, I have an old film era Spiratone 400mm lens. Screw threads...get an adapter and you are on your way to piss poor pictures. 🤣

  • @PrimalShutter
    @PrimalShutter 4 дня назад

    It's the same problem as my canon 300/2.8 fluorite, the focus has a huge throw and turning it makes everything shake with how hard it is, you can't do it pushing with just a thumb
    If this one had a fast focus throw it would be my dream lens on a stabilized body

    I have literally watched every Video ever made on YTube about this lens even if the Language wasn't something in English. But I still can't make a definitive conclusion so guess I will have to actually buy it and see for myself. Everyone that has reviewed this lens has talked about the Stiff Focus Ring and that was from day One of Release. So nothing has change since. TTArtisan should make a 400mm f5.6 version that would be a even better seller. B and H are always selling out of the 500mm f6.3 version. The Background in your Nature Video isn't doing this lens any favors. Pretty sure that most folks would like to see how well it renders in better background conditions.

    @natureredux1957 2 дня назад

    Over the last several years, I have seen several reviewers say there really isn't much difference many times in using the Body IBIS alone as opposed to using the Body and in-lens image stabilization in combo. Or even just using in-lens image stabilization by itself. Granted, some of the Lens in the Last year might have gotten better, but so has in Body IBIS. So for a Lens with ZERO in-lens image stabilization, the latest and greatest Cameras with IBIS might just do the trick.
