50mm lenses can range in price from under $100 to over $2,000, with options at every level in between. At the lowest end of the spectrum is the TTArtisan 50mm f/2, which retails for just $69. Can it produce worthwhile images for such a low price? This great video review will look to answer that question.
Coming to you from Wes PerryThis excellent video review looks at TTArtisan 50mm f/2 Glass. Wide-aperture 50mm lenses are some of the most popular options available, as they can cover everything from portraits to events etc. The surprisingly good TTArtisan 50mm f/2 still comes with features like a 10-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh, though the notable downside is the lack of autofocus. However, modern mirrorless cameras make working with manual focus lenses much easier than DSLRs, and as long as you’re not shooting fast action, you’ll find it usable. for most applications. Of course, you shouldn’t expect superior image quality over a $69 lens, but it seems this 50mm lens is superior for its price (and its small footprint). Check out the video above for Perry’s full thoughts on the lens.
