What Buyers Say

TTArtisan APS-C 27mm F2.8 E 27mm

70 out of 100 medium confidence 22 reviews

The TTArtisan 27mm f/2.8 lens is widely praised for its compact size, lightweight build, and good value, making it a popular choice for everyday carry and street photography. However, several users report issues with vignetting, soft edges, and occasional autofocus or exposure inconsistencies, especially in low light. While many find it a solid budget alternative to the Fuji 27mm pancake, some returned it due to the pronounced vignetting or lack of contrast.

Pros
  • Compact and lightweight design
  • Good value for the price
  • Sharp center image
  • Fast and silent autofocus
  • Easy-to-use aperture and focus rings
Cons
  • Pronounced vignetting
  • Soft edges and corners
  • Unreliable autofocus in low light
  • Inconsistent exposure with aperture changes
  • Lack of contrast and saturation
