TTartisans 40mm f/2

[Jonathan-Mac]

I saw this video review from Richard Wong this morning and he reports that this lens will be available soon for the L-mount.



Performance seems OK with weaknesses in vignetting and wide-open sharpness, which I suppose is to be expected given the price and compact size. I'd have preferred better optical performance even at a higher price but I'm happy to see the L-mount finally get a compact and fast standard prime.

No mention of this lens on TTartisans website yet and no other indication of when it's be available.

And it's AF, which is nice for these budget brands.

And it has an aperture ring, which I'm very surprised at.

It looks like the L-mount version is going to come later

I just watched Richard's video. It seems like a really nice compact option for pairing with the S9 or the BF. Personally, I'd probably still go for the Sigma 35mm f2 i-Series because of its better IQ, but on the other hand it is notably bigger (but the Sigma is still not a huge lens like their 35mm f1.4, say).

Another nice review, with the smoothing voice again:

That's why I didn't take it for the S9, because of the weight.
