TTArtisan 17mm f/1.4 17mm
The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture and one aspherical element in a 9-element design deliver solid sharpness and low-light capability in a compact 248g body. Its all-metal build and clicked aperture ring provide a tactile, durable feel that belies its budget positioning. This lens is best for APS-C Sony E-mount photographers wanting an affordable, manual-focus 25.5mm equivalent for street scenes and environmental portraits.
