![]() | TTArtisan AF 27mm f/2.8 Pros: Weight/size, price, presence of aperture ring, Cons: Grip aperture ring, microcontrast at TA Opinion: Given that for the amount at which this lens is sold (paid 105 but you can find it on offer safely at 110-120) there are no real defects, but I start from those. The grip and use (especially for quick changes) of the aperture ring is clearly not studied... ok the design and minimalism but here it's a bit much. Basically, those like me who do not constantly change the opening will not feel the weight of the defect. Second small compromise, more than sharpness it lacks that microcontrast at full aperture. The images are absolutely not washed out, and still acceptably sharp, but you have to go up by 1stop to be already at 90% of the lens's potential. I'm not talking about vignetting as a defect (excuse me, perhaps) but as a distinctive trait: it's there, it's evident and it never disappears completely (but at 5.6 it's almost completely negligible). Those who buy it must know it, knowing it can be appreciated. Or at least those like me looking for and possibly adding a bit of vignetting in PP this lens is a boon. In practice, at f2.8 you shoot: either to have a bit of blur and thus enhance the subject in the center (portraits, still life, macro, etc.) and in this case the vignetting does not disturb but emphasizes; or if you shoot in low light, and in night shots (where there are those unwanted lights at the edges / corners) the vignetting often gives a nice hand and in any case a touch of character (always personal opinion let's be clear). For landscape or street photography, the apertures rise quickly to f5.6-8 and vignetting is negligible. The choice to give a touch of darker sky to the corners, using vignetting, can make a weapon what would instead be a defect at f2.8-4, I hope I have explained myself. For the rest it is small, it is light, it is discreet (which for me never hurts). I also like the small lens hood that doesn't actually shield too much from the almost frontal light, but protects the lens much better and also makes it easier to use the cap. The autofocus is more than satisfactory compared to other lenses of the Fuji system, on which I use it. The color rendering and contrast are also pleasant already from f4. The sharpness is truly amazing given the value for money. I'm not talking about the 40mm equivalent focal length, that's subjective. For me, as an everyday lens (which I find the 35 eq. tending to be correct but sometimes not very intimate and the 50 eq. too narrow especially in the interiors) it was the point of arrival... sent on December 05, 2025 |
