I read numerous reviews on this lens but I was determined not to write a word about it until I received it and tested it. Well it arrived today and my first thought was that I hope TT artisan makes more models. This thing is sharp, it’s of high quality, it’s not lightning fast but splitting hairs is unnecessary. It’s certainly fast enough. I see that TT artisan is going to make a full frame camera. I’m chomping at the bit for more information on it. This lens was a home run.
This worked on my XM1 and XT20 with no issues. Focus is reasonably quick. Nice to have aperture ring on a budget lens. Only downside: the firmware update for the lens can only be done on a Windows computer. TT Artisans website says that Macs are not supporteddisappointing.
The lens is great for portability and image quality.
Focus is sharp, F2.8 produces great images on a wide range of lighting conditions.
It has 2 noticeable weak points that have been mentioned by other reviewers as well.
1. Vignetting in low light.
2. Flare effects.
Example of both in the picture attached.
Still, for this price is a great lens. I like it.
Belle prsentation, livr avec un emballage impeccable contenant mme des gants blancs dont on ne sait trop quel usage ils sont destins.
L’objectif est lgrement plus pais que le 27 mm non crant du Fuji. Le bouchon est ridiculement fin pour de grosses mains et il est donc destin une perte rapide moins qu’on le perce et y mette un fil, ce que je me suis empress de faire.
Le moteur de mise au point est souple et peu bruyant. Les crans du diaphragme sont fermes, ce qui est rassurant. La partie frontale de l’objectif est un peu en retrait, ce qui fait qu’on n’a besoin ni de filtre ni de pare-soleil. Les premires photos faites en intrieur et extrieur avec mon Fujifilm X-S10 sont tout fait acceptables. Finalement un bon choix pour un prix qui est la moiti de son concurrent Fuji. Je recommande sans hsiter.
The only thing that surprised me about this lens is how small the lens cap/filter diameter is. That information is available on the product page, I just didn’t make the connection. You most likely don’t have filters in the right diameter, just a heads up. Also recommend getting a lens cap leash because you will lose this thing.
Die Linse ist besser als ich dachte. Ich hatte auch das Original 27mm Fuji-Objektiv, habe es aber zurckgeschickt. Dieses Objektiv gefllt mir besser und kostet weniger als die Hlfte. Ein Kritikpunkt ist der kleine Objektivdeckel. Den werde ich vermutlich bald verlieren. Leider kann man bei TTartisan derartige Dinge nicht nachkaufen. Das betrifft bei mir auch ein anderes Modell dieser Marke. Das Testbild habe ich in einem dunklen Raum mit ISO 5000 mit einer X-T3 aufgenommen. Bis jetzt kann ich das kleine Objektiv empfehlen.
Enfoca adecuadamente; solo algo duro en la apertura del diafragma. Pero no afecta en su operacin.
Does everything it’s supposed to: good, fast auto focus, excellent image quality between 4-11mm. It’s updateable, well built and a very good price.
After watching early reviews and checking out a Fuji 27mm lens I thought I would give this a try. I purchased a used X-E1 to use as a travel camera. Already have an XT-2 and had a spare cheap manual focus lens to use on the X-E1. After playing with the manual lens decided I wanted an auto-focus lens for the X-E1. Not wanting to spend more on a lens than on the used camera I pulled the trigger and ordered the TTArtisan. I have not had too many chances to get out with the camera due to holidays and weather in the Great Lakes region but the photos taken have been very acceptable overall. I did not notice any major vignetting at f2.8 as some have stated. Works in manual and auto modes, autofocus speed is quick enough. The aperture ring may take some getting used to. Overall the build quality is good, it is slightly larger than the Fuji 27mm but for 1/2 the price I feel it was a good choice.
The performance of the lens is good, maybe not as good as a major brand, but to my eye honestly there’s no appreciable difference. The lens is not bulky which means that I can keep my Fujifilm X-2 in a jacket pocket and have it always ready to use. The only downside, a minor one, is that the lens cap is fiddly to take off quickly. For the price it is a remarkable bargain: it feels very solid, looks good, and does the job at a fraction of Fuji’s own lens.
Let’s get the negatives out of the way first, it doesn’t handle flare very well, the aperture ring can be fiddly as there are only two knurled places to adjust the aperture, and the lens is not waterproof. All very minor irritations, simply overcome, don’t take the lens out in the rain, or point it at the sun!!
The lens itself is compact, lightweight, and the build quality is of a decent all metal construction. Being as tiny as it is the lens is ideal for the smaller Fuji bodies, the X-A10, X-E1, 2, 3, 4, and the X-T10, 20, 30 for use as a street, or travel lens. I wanted the lens for my Fuji X-T20, to be used as a “walk about” travel lens, the 27mm focal length equates to approximately 40mm in full frame terms.
Performance wise the lens offers very good image quality, just look at the detail on the quayside mooring bollard, this is a JPEG image shot wide open at f/2.8. The ornamental bird taken again wide open at f/2.8, ISO 1000 indoors, without flash, and the bokeh is fine. The auto focus is marginally slower than some of my other “fast” Fuji primes, but the face / eye detect seems to work well.
The front lens cap is very tiny, easy to lose, however the rear lens cap has contacts, and a USB-C port to enable updating the lens, what a great idea.
The lens is an absolute gem, a real bargain at the price, and I am very pleased with the performance. Definitely recommended, well done TT Artisans.
I chose this lens because it seemed like an affordable alternative to Fuji’s pre-existing 27mm lenses.
To my surprise the lens performed quite well both in sharpness and accurate autofocus. The lens seems to be metal, well built, and has a cute lens hood for its small filter size. There’s a bit of vignetting on the edges wide open but nothing that can’t be fixed or worked around.
Overall I think the lens is well worth it, especially for the price point!
Pros:
1. VERY cheap lens
2. Good build quality
3. Swirly bokeh at f2.8 minimum focus, a somewhat unique character of this lens (did not attach photo of this effect)
4. AF is whisper quiet
Cons:
1. Heavy vignetting at f2.8, gets better stopped down but doesn’t fully go away (if you’re pixel peeping or what not)
2. Not the sharpest at f2.8 but bokeh is hella cool.
3. Firmware update doesn’t work on Windows 11, yet*
4. Aperture is noisier than the AF, bummer.
5. Some flaring issues, just don’t aim directly at bright light sources open wide, or get a lens hood or whatever
6. Sharp, but not perfect, YMMV
This lens is for people that are looking:
-for a fun lens to experiment with
-a cheaper, less noisy alternative to the XF27mm (the AF noise is unbearable on the XF, at least to me)
-lightweight, walk-around travel lens
I meancome on, it’s like US$150~ Don’t expect some out of this world performance from this lens but if you can live with the imperfections, I’d say this is a pretty great lens. I’m having fun with it, and I hope you will too.
4/5 stars.
The lens is super small and light, and has a pretty decent feel in the hand. The aperture ring clicks nicely enough at every 1/3 stop and the focus ring offers an acceptable amount of resistance. Considering everything I mentioned, plus this lens’s metal build, you simply cannot go wrong picking one up for $160!
One thing I still have yet to figure out on the lens is the vignetting. Fuji lens comes with automatic correction and it’s made the system much simpler to use. We can remove at post, but this is one reason I couldn’t make the rating the full 5 stars.
After seeing a couple of 1 star reviews I felt compelled to actually review the lens as it should have worked. I did get a warning from Pergear that there was a possibility that the lens may have been handled incorrectly during shipment. I did not need to reset my lens so it worked right out of the package.
After using this lens, I quickly sold the original Fuji 27mm for more than the cost of this lens. If you have that old lens, this is worth the price “upgrade”.
I have had many Fujifilm cameras and lenses. Currently with a GFX and a Xe4.
Wanted the 27mm 2.8 from fuji but didnt want to spend the money or the 320 for a used one. This came up and i thought i would give it a shot. So far it really has been great. For 150 bucks its a solid choice.
Lens wont win any “fast focus awards” but its not a slouch either.
If you are looking for a good 27mm 2.8 AUTOFOCUS i would suggest this.
