TTArtisan 50mm f/1.4 lens review by Flavio Bosi (Instagram) – all TTArtisan lenses can be purchased at the Photo Rumors Online Store with free international shipping:
TTArtisan is a very young company. They released their first M mount lens in 2019, the TTArtisan 35mm 1.4, which I will review here very shortly. Since then they kept releasing interesting options for us Leica shooters not necessarily wanting to spend big money on every focal length. A lot of noise was raised when they announced the TTArtisan 50mm 0.95, which seemed to deliver a lot for very little money. I was not fully convinced though, as you can see in my review.
Now they have released the rumoured TTArtisan 50mm 1.4, and it never fails to pique my interest when a new fast prime lens is released for my Leica. Especially a 50mm prime lens. I preordered it immediately, and was astounded at the price: you can find it now on eBay for £288, already shipping from China. You only have to pay the import duties. But that is cheap no matter what, especially if the lens is any good.
