What Buyers Say
TTArtisan 50mm f/1.2 50mm
82 out of 100 high confidence 33 reviews
This lens is widely praised for its incredible value, solid metal build, and satisfying manual operation. Users appreciate the smooth focus ring, nice bokeh, and sharpness stopped down, but note the extremely narrow depth of field at f/1.2 requires very careful focusing. Overall, it's seen as a fun, characterful lens that punches well above its price point.
Pros
- Excellent value for money
- Solid all-metal build quality
- Smooth manual focus ring
- Nice bokeh rendition
- Compact and lightweight
Cons
- Extremely shallow depth of field at f/1.2 requiring very careful focus
- Soft wide open at f/1.2 for photos
- Heavy for a 50mm lens (noted by some)
- No lens hood included in the box
- Cool color cast in some conditions
