TTArtisan 27mmF2.8 Now Available at BHphoto and More Reviews

The brand new TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 is now available also at BHphoto here. You can get it in two colors:

I have recently published my own first look review about the TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8, which you can see here.

I end up recommending this lens, as especially considering its price it is a good performer.

I was waiting for more reviews to drop to see if other would end up recommending too, and today I can report about the review of Alwin Kok, who also ends up recommending this lens. You can read his review here.

Well done, TTArtisan… and looking forward to more.

TTArtisan 27mmF2.8 Autofocus X Mount Lens Announced and Comparison with Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR (First Look by FujiRumors)

TTartisan just announced their first autofocus lens for Fujifilm X mount, the TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8.

You can check out price and specs at the dedicated Amazon US page here (for Canada click here and for Amazon Europe here).

Now, I have a golden rule on FujiRumors: never review gear!

In fact, a full time teaching job as well as running FujiRumors is enough work if I still want to have some time left to beat my son at soccer.

But when TTArtisan asked me if I’d like to test their upcoming TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 AF lens, I was very tempted, as you know how much I love my Fujinon XF27mm f/2.8 R WR especially in combination with my Fujifilm X-E3, which is the perfect combo to document my family life.

And well aware that the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it, I accepted to get the lens.

But since I received the lens almost two weeks ago, there were a few problems:

  • my son had 1 week of fever
  • my wife got the chicken pox
  • I got shingles

This means I had no time and energy to review the lens and to go out to take pictures.

All I could do was to give it quick first look here at home and share my findings in the video you can see below.

Attention: the video review below has been filmed before I could even go out and shoot. Only yesterday I was able to use the TTArtisan a bit on the field and I quickly noticed a flaw that I did not fully catch on at home (you really need time and field testing to get to know a lens properly), so I have rapidly edited the video to added those considerations.

So… and now let me finish my Fujifilm X-T5 review to go online on November 2 (just kidding ;))
