TTArtisan Rangefinder Lenses 50mm f/0.95 50mm
An f/0.95 maximum aperture and 10-blade diaphragm enable exceptionally shallow depth-of-field and low-light shooting, while the all-metal, 411g body keeps it portable. The clicked aperture ring and damped manual focus provide precise, tactile control, and the lens is available for Sony E, Fuji X, Micro Four Thirds, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and Leica L mounts. This lens suits portrait photographers wanting extreme subject isolation and soft, blurred backgrounds on APS-C mirrorless systems.
