TTartisan 17mm F1.4 Lens for Sony E, Canon EF-M, Fuji X, and Micro Four Thirds

The TTartisan 17mm F1.4 wide angle lens for APS-C and Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, which was rumored last fall, is now officially unveiled. The new APS-C sensor lens is available for Sony E, Canon EF-M, Fuji X, and Micro Four Thirds mount.

The wide angle lens combines a convenient 25mm equivalent focal length for landscape and street photography with a fast maximum aperture. The lens is suitable for work in low light conditions, and also provides improved control of the depth of field.

The manual focus design provides smooth and precise control with a minimum focusing distance of 0.2 m. The optical structure of this lens is a 10 blade diaphragm, 9 elements in 8 groups, 81 ° angle of view. The manufacturer claims the TTArtisan 17mm F1.4 has excellent image quality from center to edge.

This lens weighs only 248g making it as lightweight and compact as possible. The diameter of the filter thread is 40.5 mm. The lens is ideal for capturing beautiful landscapes while traveling, shooting portraits with perfect bokeh, and also providing high-speed outdoor shutter speeds in low-light conditions.

Price and availability

In our opinion, miracles from the new optical product should not be expected, including the fact that the declared maximum aperture of F1.4 is fully operational. There is only one convincing argument for the possible purchase of this lens – the price is only $139 and is already available to buy on Amazon.com. Well, in addition – not the most primitive optical design, metal body, compactness, and a two-year manufacturer’s warranty.
