What Buyers Say

TTArtisan APS-C 10mm f/2.0 ASPH 10mm

74 out of 100 medium confidence 21 reviews

The TTArtisan 10mm f/2.0 lens offers impressive sharpness and a wide angle at a very affordable price. Many users praise its solid metal build, smooth focus ring, and low distortion, making it a great value for occasional or experimental use. However, as a fully manual lens, it can be challenging for beginners to achieve sharp focus, and the focus ring markings may not always be accurate. A few complaints include stiff aperture rings and one undelivered order, but overall sentiment is positive for budget-conscious photographers.

Pros
  • Sharpness wide open and stopped down
  • Solid all-metal build quality
  • Very affordable price
  • Low distortion for ultra-wide lens
  • Smooth focus ring
Cons
  • Manual focus requires practice
  • Focus ring markers not always accurate
  • Stiff aperture ring on some versions
  • No auto-focus or EXIF metadata
  • Soft corners at wide apertures
