TTartisan launches 17mm f1.4 lens for Canon RF Mount

TTArtisan has unveiled a 17mm f1.4 Canon RF mount lens, a manual focus lens designed for APS-C format mirrorless cameras. Previously, this lens was released for Sony E, Fujifilm X, Canon EOS-M, Micro Four Thirds, and Nikon Z mount.

The TTArtisan 17mm f1.4 lens is designed for use with APS-C-format mirrorless cameras and provides a 25mm equivalent focal length. The optical structure of this lens is 9 elements in 8 groups, and the angle of view is 81°.

Characterized by its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture, this lens is adept at working in low-light conditions and also affords increased control over the depth of field for selective focus control. It’s a fast and portable lens well-suited to landscape, nature, and street photography.

People and objects can achieve a good balance in the picture, shooting with a 17mm lens. So it is well-suited to everyday shooting with subjects including street, landscape, and reportage, which are memorable. Compared to medium telephoto lenses,17mm behave better in environmental information recording, making the scenery and characters integrate better in the shooting, it’s a good choice for a trip shoot.

It is an interesting development as Canon is forcing third-party lens makers to stop selling mirrorless RF mount lenses.
