TTArtisan 27mm F2.8 AF may not be sharpest lens, or the fastest autofocusing performing lens, but it is sure one fun lens to use. I believe camera manufacturers should pay attention to this and make similar pancakes for varying focal lengths prime lenses. I acknowledge the TTArtisan 27mm F2.8 is not a new lens, it has been around for several years now, but it pairs so well with smaller camera bodies like the Sony NEX-6 that I have. For the asking price of about USD100 new (I actually got it much cheaper used), there is a lot to love about the lens - not only being so compact and slim, it has metal build, very decent image quality and admirable lens flaw controls. Seriously, for so little money, I don't think it is possible to make anything better! I brought the TTArtisan 27mm F2.8 fitted on my Sony NEX-6 to the beautiful city of Malacca, and had some shutter therapy sessions there!

I also liked this tiny lens.
ReplyDeleteGood sgarpness and build, and price! However there were some let downs:
Flare resistance was Bad.
Focussing Issues, sometimes it didn't Focus properly.
And depending on light entry angle it almost sermed there was sort of light leaks.
The still small Sony 24mm was the better choice.
Nowadays I am happy shooting with Compact Cameras so I dont get lens acquiring syndrome again...
