This is a continuation from yesterday's blog entry on the TTArtisan 35mm F1.8 II lens. The lens gives an approximately 50mm focal length when mounted on Sony APS-C (E-Mount) Mirrorless camera body. In this case, I used the TTArtisan 35mm on my old Sony NEX-6. It is just so incredible to see how third-party lens makers can do so much with so little. Retailing new for just USD125, the lens can deliver really impressive results. I am pleased with the rendering of the lens - the sharpness is excellent, the bokeh is smooth and creamy, the flaws are well managed, overall, the images come out looking natural and realistic. Is the lens better than Sony's native 35mm F1.8 lens for APS-C? I would not know, as I do not have one to make a direct comparison, but for such a low price point, and seeing what the TTArtisan 35mm F1.8 II can do, I got to say, I don't wish it to be any better, it is as good as it gets! Cheap China-made lenses are getting so good these days, why pay more? Just grab one and start shooting already. No more excuses on lenses being expensive.
