TTArtisan APS-C AF35mm F1.8 mark II 35mm

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

A bright f/1.8 maximum aperture and a close 15.7-inch minimum focus distance make this compact 176g prime stand out for low-light shooting and detailed close-ups. Its fully metal build and included redesigned lens hood add durability and flare protection in a remarkably small 1.9-inch-long package. This lens is best for APS-C mirrorless shooters wanting an affordable, everyday normal-length prime for street photography and casual portraiture.
