The TT Artisan 27mm f/2.8 AF lens for Fujifilm X Mount is a weird lens. It's actually really sharp, even at F/2.8, and chromatic aberration is well-controlled. However, this is a poor-performing lens in other areas, including low contrast wide open, vignetting, and serious flare. Would I recommend this lens? Yes and no, depending on what you're looking for.

Considering that Fujifilm is charging +600 USD/EUR for a 18mm f2… PLEASE TT Artisans make an affordable 18 AF!!!!

@bigheadtaco Год назад

Yes Yes!!

The sigma 19 isn’t available for Fuji?

@ofthenearfuture Год назад

Thanks for making this into a video, as I appreciated the article. This was probably the best review I've seen of this lens though... and I've watched all of them haha. Because I actually just ordered this lens for myself, but it's not here yet. This is will be only my second lens for Fuji after the 16-80, so I'm looking forward to experiencing it. Though I do also shoot some Canon FD lenses, so the rendering might not be too far off what I'm used to!

Great review. I subscribed. And I bought the lens. Excellent point, "There are filters that cost more than this."

@davegesell5470 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for the review. Far more pros than cons as far as I'm concerned. Think I might order one soon, and hope that the QC is better than with the 7.5mm Fisheye* I had to send back. *Optically the lens was fine, but the focus ring wasn't oriented correctly. To focus at infinity I had to set the ring at 0.5 metres, so scale focusing was impossible. The store checked the other one they had in stock and it had the same problem.

I used the TT Artisan 27 2.8 with my XT5 and I enjoyed it. it's a fun lens perfect for travel. Can't wait for the next iteration. Also, I hope Fuji releases an update to the 18 F2.

@kevin.itruth6880 Год назад

They're releasing this for Sony soon so I was excited and looking into it more. The insane flaring issue and lack of lens coating is a major flaw I can't get over. I like to shoot on bright days so I'm going to be passing on this one for now. I heard from others TTArtisan has flaring issues on all their lenses.

@garethnoble11 8 месяцев назад

I'm going to try part exchanging my old 27mm (without aperture ring) for the new one with aperture ring. In my dreams I come out with a net payment lower than the TT artisan. In my dreams.

Exactly, if you know it’s weaknesses and are good in post, this lens is great since it’s so sharp! Glad you’re happy with it.

@neilmontgomery3470 8 месяцев назад

The Fujifilm 27mm is just far too expensive for an amateur walkabout lens. It is good that TT Artisans have taken the fight to Fujifilm and I think the slight comprises in image quality might be worth it for the intended users.

@user-by1zc6gw1b 9 месяцев назад

Great review ❤ how it is perform with XT 100 ?

@makagio 16 дней назад

Would a lens hood or filter help with shooting into the sun to eliminate flares? Would this be a good travel lens and take hiking?

@geirjohannesen667 Год назад

I just checked and it is not possible to update the firmware on a Mac. Windows only.

@isthatxavier92 4 месяца назад

Does it improve with a lens filter? (Flaring)

@JayGrapherTh Год назад

this being almost just as compact as the fuji 27 and cheaper makes this looks very interesting and appealing to get

@bigheadtaco Год назад

The Fujifilm lens is smaller for sure, but they’re both small enough. The aperture ring is nicer on the Fujifilm, but autofocus is better on the TT Artisan

@Kevon420 Год назад

I wish Voigtlander would make a 40mm f2 that was high performance, it doesn’t need to be APO (though their 50mm APO is awesome) but at least to the level of their 35mm Ultron, I would love that. Their 40mm f2.8 lens is just okay.

@kevintrudeau6145 11 месяцев назад

Why not adapt the M mount Nokton 40F1.4? Pretty classic bokeh wide open but it quite sharp by F2.8, small, and none of the barrel distortion of the 35F1.4

@beyourself9162 5 месяцев назад

Voigtländer produces a 27 mm f2 … just saying….

@pierrelaviolette670 Год назад

I’d also love a sharp, good contrast 27mm f2 lens. No need for pancake, too much compromise. Should be more silent than Fuji’s 27 which is ridiculous. Looks like Ttartisan needs to fix the focus and sharpness on this one. I like ttArtisan when they do a good job but not this one from what I can see.

@TorontoBoris Год назад

It would be nice if TT Artisans expanded this offering to MFT

@bigheadtaco Год назад

I guess 27mm on MFT would be a weird focal length? 54mm I think? But you’re right, why not? They already have the lens, they just have to swap out the mount and reconfigure the connections.

@TorontoBoris Год назад

@@bigheadtaco 55mm and 58mm lenses exist in FF world. It wouldn't be that odd. Plus they had the sigma 30mm offering which was many times more expensive than this.

@meabster Год назад

Voigtlander have a 27mm f2 X mount due to be released. Manual focus, of course.

@bigheadtaco Год назад

That’s pretty exciting, since Voigtlander makes 40mm lenses for 35mm. I heard Viltrox is working on an AF 27mm f/1.4 for X Mount, but it’ll be a monster size lens.

@toomanyhobbies400 10 месяцев назад

I believe we will be treated to a high quality F2.0-27mm APS-C lens very soon. I see it coming from Tamron, Sigma or Rokinon. Two reasons why. The market has been saturated with more common focal lengths. They need to market something new, and the latest craze is to mimic a Fuji X-100V, by adding a pancake lens to your existing APS-C or full frame body. The price on E-bay for used pancake lenses has increased significantly. Sony released their trio of F2.8 and F2.5 lens - and included a 40mm. There aren't a lot of 40mm full equivalent lenses out there, but those that have them seldom give them up. So Rokinon, I am waiting....

@aucourant9998 7 месяцев назад

I've had some of the best Fuji lenses including the renowned Fujifilm XF16 mm F1.4 R, and I can tell you that the Fuji pancake 27mm f2.8 is a great lens. It is really sharp and for street photography at f5.8 it is wonderful.

Viltrox will bring a 27mm f1.2. But it will be big and chunky

@bigheadtaco Год назад

Ya, I already saw the pics. If they ask if I want to review, I’ll do it, but worried about size and weight. The bokeh better be worth it :-)

@deffunc Год назад

I've had this lens for a month now and it hasn't left my X-E3 in the time. f4 to f8 is really impressive for sharpness and contrast. The issues with f2.8 mean I've learnt to treat this as a f4 lens. On the other hand, f2.8 has vintage-like character and when used indoors at f2.8 people like the images I take of them 🙂so I'm probably too picky. I don't mind the vignetting but the flaring is annoying, and the only downside IMO. Overall, it's a keeper 😀.

@Princeton_James 2 месяца назад

On a 2 week wait for the fuji version. Really not worth the price for me. Im canceling that I've and getting this one. 27mm at 2.8 isnt anything to write home about anyway. For 150 why not?

Better to pick up the original version of the Fuji 27mm for $200. The lack of an aperture ring is far less of a wart than the multiple optical issues with TTA.
