TTArtisan 25mm F2 Wide-Angle APS-C Camera Lens Large Aperture Manual Fixed Camera Lens Compatible with Fuji X-Mount Cameras X-A2 X-A2 X-A3 X-A5 X-A7 X-H1 XT1 X-T2 X-T3 X-T20 X-T30 X-T100 X-T200 X-PRO1

Well made lens, a perfect match with my Fuji X-T1. Both focus ring and aperture ring moves smooth. If anything can be changed, it will be add f11, since from f8-f16, there is no f11. Images from this lens are excellent. If you want to slow down and put more thinking into your photography, this full manual lens is a good choice.

Great lens, cap is kind of annoying but also very secure

I have a Voigtlander 23 mm 1.2 ... and Honestly... I move between that, and this cheap lens... cheap in price but the quality has a Je ne sé pas... that I love it... Just bloody buy it and try it... maybe the "imperfections" give that quality that you might end up loving it. After all, that's what art is.

Surprisingly sharp and easy to use lens

Lets get this out of the way first- This isn't an optically perfect lens. Far from it. Wide open, this lens produces a somewhat soft and hazy picture that I'm sure some people will be put off from. If you want optical perfection, this isn't the lens for you.THAT BEING SAID- I love this lens. For one, it's the cheapest new lens (I think) that you can buy for the Fuji X mount. That alone gives it a lot of leeway to misbehave a bit, in my book. It's built of metal and feels good to use- the focus ring is well dampened and the clicked aperture is ideal for still photography. Not being a video shooter, I vastly prefer this over declicked apertures.The image quality, for all its flaws, provides what I find to be a pleasing character. It's not perfect for everything, but this is a lens that begs to be shot wide open at contrasty night scenes in the city. It's wide open characteristics are similar to using a slight diffusion filter. Considering that a good diffusion filter costs almost as much as this lens (Or more, if you splurge on the best filters you can buy), I treat this lens more as a special purpose tool than something to use for every occasion.That character disappears quickly when you stop down, becoming a very sharp lens very quickly. The diffuse look disappears almost completely after the first click down, so you don't need to use it all the time and still have a fast 2.8 aperture without the haze. It's also very small, and pairs well with my X-M1 as a setup that can get tossed in my shoulder bag without a second thought. It's a very fun lens, and if you aren't expecting the level of optical precision that Fuji lenses often strive for, this is a fantastic lens for the money.

I'm a huge fan of character in a lens and I own plenty of cheaper and vintage lenses. I absoluetly love the TArtisan 7.5mm F2.0 so thought I would give this lens I try as I was looking for a usable pancake lense.My initial experience after unboxing was very postive. The lens is compact, well made (even if the f-stops don't really click and is missing f/11) and looks great on my X-Pro2 & X-T1/X-T3. So it mounted it to my X-Pro2 and went out for a bike ride and began shooting and was impressed with the overall sharpness and contrast of the lens when shooting subjects that were in the shade. Things began to change however once the sun came anywhere near to the field of view of the lens as the lens flare started to exhibit itself. Don't get me wrong.. I am a huge fan of lens flare and I have some vintage glass that perfom magic when flaring.. I typically shoot wide open (why else have a wide apeture) but ifgured I would stop the lens down to see if that helped. As you can see from the sample image with sunstars, things didn't improve much in terms of flare or chromatic aberations.That being said.. I could live with this lens as it had so many other things going for it at the price (mainly size and focal length). I stopped in to the local watering hole to meet a friend and very much enjoyed shooting in the low light enviroment but ntoiced some weird color fringing and the bokeh is cetainly no weir close to being round even the I was shooting wide open at F/2. On teh way home I shot some night scenes.. and the flare I experienced uncontrable and real deal breaker for me as this type of shooting is pretty typical for me. This lens is a no brainer as long as you never point your camera towards a light direct light source... but otherwise I would stay clear. I ended up returning this lense and purchasing the Voigtlander 27mm F/2 FX mount. I've owned many Voigtlander's over the years and they are all still in my arsenal. While the Voigtlander is not cheap... it is smaller, better built, and image quality is about a million times better than this lens.. easily worth the 9X's price increase.

it's not bad for the price. lacks in sharpness but, the quality is still there. it functions well + it also fits modernly. very sleek and nice as far as design goes. i'd say it's durable as I have dropped this many times + i still keep it as a "just incase" lens. it has a fixed lens so you aren't able to adjust by zooming in and out but, for a beginner - you'd fall in love!
