What Buyers Say
TTArtisan AF 40mm f/2 40mm
78 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews
The TTArtisan 40mm f/2 lens is widely praised for its compact size, solid build, and excellent value for money. Many users love the manual aperture ring and the USB-C port in the lens cap for firmware updates. However, autofocus performance is a major point of contention: while some find it fast and reliable, others report persistent hunting and failure to lock focus, especially on certain camera bodies. A few users also note chromatic aberration and flare, but overall image quality is considered sharp and impressive for the price.
