TTArtisan Tech (HK) Co. has introduced “the first cinema lens with double bokeh effect”—the TTArtisan 35mm T2.1. It will be produced for all major modern mounts—Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and Leica L—and is inexpensive for cinema optics.
The 35mm focal length balances shooting wide shots and focusing on details, while the high aperture allows the new lens to shoot in low-light conditions.
Unlike traditional cinema lenses, the TTArtisan 35mm T2.1 offers two bokeh options – Bubble and Soft – to create two different visual styles. The former creates a romantic background filled with soap bubbles, while the latter provides a smooth, soft blur, making it ideal for close-up portraits.
It is worth noting that when using the Bubble mode, the minimum focusing distance is 0.55 m, and the rotation angle of the focusing ring is 131°, but in the Soft mode, they are 0.28 m and 313°, respectively.
The lens features a reliable all-metal body. Additionally, it is equipped with a “Bubble—Soft” switch, along with focus and aperture rings that have a standard 0.8 Mod step for using follow focus. Furthermore, the thread diameter for installing a filter is 82 mm.
