Pros:Small and beautiful aesthetically. Excellent assembly. Diaphragms ring with shots. Optical quality in relation to the price.
Cons:Non-stellar flares resistance. Lack of hood. Maybe the front cap screwing.
Opinion:It costs 89 euros new and on Micro 4/3 has an angle of view equivalent to a 70mm, so I personally find it very versatile, both for portraiture and for other photographic genres. The optical scheme was probably taken from old lenses of the past, it resembles the Pentax Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.4 and this is not a bad thing, indeed. Mechanically it is a pleasure to rotate both the focus ring and the diaphragm ring with its pasty clicks. Even aesthetically it makes its figure, hardly those who see it think of a Chinese goal. At f/1.4, if you are precise in focusing and respecting the right working distances, it can be sharp in the center... not to make the eyes bleed, but with more than dignified results. Even the contrast I find good already at full opening. Closing slightly sharpness increases quickly. At f/2 it is already great, at f/2.8 excellent. I would say that for portraiture you can safely take advantage of the range from f / 1.4 to f / 2.8, I would use f / 5.6 only for landscape and architecture. Speaking of blurred I don't mind at all, I find it very classic/analog. More than the quality of the Bokeh I would dwell on the ability to detach a subject from the context and the TTArtisan 35mm in this sense manages to show its personality, what I was looking for in such a lens. Probably several factors contribute including the lack of low dispersion elements or aspherical lenses that if on the one hand does not allow a record incisiveness at full aperture on the other these 'imperfections' give character to the photos. I have not had the opportunity to sincerely test the accuracy of the distance scale imprinted on the barrel, I always use the viewfinder or the camera display to focus accurately. The resistance to flares is not exceptional and this is easily explained by the lack of particular anti-reflective treatments that are found in modern lenses, but still nothing tragic, just pay a little attention and know how to exploit certain reflections can also be decorative. A bit of barrel distortion, I would say more than physiological and also present in lenses that travel on very different prices, however easily correctable in post. Strangely enough, clicking at f/11 is not available; you go from f/8 to f/16, but it makes no sense to close beyond f/5.6-f/8 (both for APS-C and Micro 4/3 users), for diffraction problems and because at f/5.6 the lens reaches its maximum sharpness throughout the frame. The minimum focusing distance is not bad and allows you to take shots of flowers and other fairly small subjects. Ultimately I would recommend it to all those who are not frightened by manual focusing; who want a small, elegant and well-assembled fix that manages to give photos with a retro flavor, but with good sharpness and contrast, all while spending a lot.
Pros:Pretty sharp, well built but lightweight. The ring of the diaphragms has the shots. It is worth more than the price.
Cons:Difficult focus for too short a ride from 3mt to infinity. Totally wrong and unreliable depth of field scale. Chromatic aberration and little resistance to flare.
Opinion:I bought this lens about a year ago to mount it on fujifilm X-T3. It is very small, about the same as Fuji's 23mm f.2. It is a sharp and quite contrasted optics, which can give surprising results. The problem is to focus correctly, also because the stroke of the ring is very short and there will be three millimeters of rotation between three meters and infinity. On a mirrorless, keeping the aperture more closed than f.2,8, it becomes a problem to focus with precision. Nor does it help the presence of the depth of field scale printed on the lens, because it is totally fake (in my opinion it corresponds to that of a 24mm). The lens costs around 90 euros, so the presence of chromatic aberration can not be missed, but it corrects itself quite well in the processing phase. More unpleasant the flare against the light, but, as already mentioned, the price is that and you can not have everything from life.
