TTArtisan Cine 50mm f/0.95 50mm
82 out of 100 medium confidence 13 reviews
This TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 manual lens delivers exceptional sharpness and light-gathering for its price, producing beautiful bokeh and solid subject isolation in low light. A few users noted minor chromatic aberration and exposure issues in bright conditions, but overall sentiment is very positive, especially among those comfortable with manual focus. Some shipping and confusion around full-frame compatibility were reported, but these do not overshadow the lens's optical performance.
