The TTArtisan 75mm F1.5 is a new portrait lens that features expressive swirl bokeh. Additionally, it offers manual focus, fully mechanical control, and a vintage M42 mount, which is compatible with most bayonet mounts via an adapter. Notably, its standout feature is the unique bokeh effect, making it an excellent choice for portrait photography.
The body design resembles the classic Carl Zeiss Biotar 75mm F1.5 lens. However, the new bokeh effect lens from TTArtisan prioritizes creative shooting over top-tier optical performance, offering photographers and videographers unique artistic opportunities.
The TTArtisan 75mm F1.5 lens features a simple optical formula consisting of six elements in four groups, which includes two high-refractive-index glass lenses. Additionally, it offers an aperture range from F/1.5 to F/16, complemented by a 13-blade diaphragm.
With a minimum focusing distance of 0.75 meters, this lens is not optimized for extreme close-ups. Instead, its focal length and design make it suitable for fine art portrait photography.
The new bokeh effect lens has a large focus ring with a 180-degree rotation angle, while the mechanical aperture ring is located at the front.
The aperture ring features two clicks per stop from F/1.5 to F/5.6. Moreover, beyond these apertures, it has one click per stop. This design not only enhances usability but also mimics the tactile feel of classic lenses.
The lens has a 58mm front filter thread for standard screw-on filters, including those for bokeh photography. It comes with metal caps but no hood. It is made from durable aircraft-grade aluminum and weighs 570 grams.
Price and release date
The new TTArtisan 75mm F1.5 Swirly Bokeh effect lens is priced at $269. Additionally, it is available at the Bhphotovideo.com online store.
Sirui has recently launched two new lenses: the Sirui NightWalker 16mm T1.2 and the 75mm T1.2. These high-aperture cinema lenses support Super35 sensors but also work with other formats when using adapters or speed boosters. As a result, cinematographers have greater flexibility in their choice of camera systems.
