This is more pronounced at wider apertures and it is rarely noticeable in real pictures, but you might still be able to spot it in one or two of the sample pictures. color castĪs is often the case when using lenses with strong vignetting on the later Sony sensors there is a slight buish teint in the corners visible. The lines running through the circles are due to the glass I used as a mirror to take these pictures and are not a feature of the lens. There are also no aspherical elements being used so the out of focus highlights are clean without any onion ring structures. The benefit of short lenses like the TTArtisan 50mm 2.0 is that the amount of optical vignetting is usually low and this is also the case here. So in the following comparison we move from the center (left) to the extreme corner (right) and see how the shape of the light circle changes. In the center of the frame almost every lens will render a perfect circle, but only lenses with very low optical vignetting will keep this shape in the corners. Without going too much into technical details optical vignetting leads to the truncation of light circles towards the borders of the frame. optical vignettingįast and at the same time compact lenses usually show a significant amount of optical vignetting. It is recommended to have a look at this article first to get an idea how this brightness graph works. Stopping down steadily reduces the vignetting to average values in the corners though. With a lens this small I am expecting high vignetting figures and this is what we get.

It is about the same size as the smallest SLR era 50mm lenses like the Nikon Series E 50mm 1.8 – quite the achievement! The TTArtisan 50mm 2.0 is the smallest 50mm lens for the fullframe mirrorless systems I am aware of. TTArtisan 50mm 2.0 and Nikon Series-E 50mm 1.8 TTArtisan told me they have a rectangular 43mm screw-in hood available though which I ordered then, but it didn’t really help with reducing the amount of lens flares. There is no hood distributed with the lens and there isn’t an official one available. TTArtisan 50mm 2.0 with 43mm hood attached Using the lens it felt like it didn’t focus as close as advertised, so I checked and indeed the minimum focus distance is closer to 0.6 m. The focus ring does offer a nice resistance slightly on the soft side and rotates a bit more than 120° from the minimum focus distance of 0.50 m to infinity. The stops also get narrower as you stop down, so the internal mechanical design must be a bit simpler. The aperture ring (90° rotation from f/2.0 to f/16) has a rather unusual stepping, too: half-stop click-stops between f/2.0 and f/5.6 and full-stop click-stops between f/5.6 and f/16.
The mechanical quality generally feels good although I do see some cost cutting measures, as the markings are only printed, not engraved and filled with paint as I am used to from TTArtisan. Like the M-mount lenses it is also made by DJ-Optical though. This 50mm 2.0 is different though, as it isn’t even available for M-mount and the casing design also differs a lot from their M-mount lenses. So far most of the TTArtisan E-mount lenses have first been released as M-mount lenses and then later been modified for other mounts. Handling / Build Quality TTArtisan 50mm 2.0 You can already order this lens from TTArtisan and they should soon show up on Amazon and for about $69 (affiliate links) Close Focusing Distance: 0.5 m (measured: 0.58 m).Number of Aperture Blades: 10 (rounded).I am reviewing the E-mount version here which has the following specifications: It is available for Sony E, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Fuji-X, L-mount, Eos-M and M43. The TTArtisan 50mm 2.0 is the shortest 50mm lens designed for mirrorless cameras I have seen yet.
