TTArtisan AF 35mm f/1.8 II 35mm

★★★★☆ 4.3 (48)

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.
