TTArtisan 23mm F1.4 APS-C L-mount len
TTartisan released the Leica L mount version of its popular 23mm F1.4 APS-C lens. Previously the lens was available for Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, Micro Four Thirds, Nikon Z and Sony E mounts. The APS-C L-mount camera that are compatible with this lens are Leica T Typ 701 , Leica TL, Leica TL2 and Leica CL.
23mm F1.4 APS-C is a fully manual lens and the optical structure consists of 8 elements in 6 groups, including 1 low-dispersion element and 3 high-refractive index elements. On an APS-C lens, the equivalent focal length is approximately 35mm, a classic angle for prime lenses. It has a 10-blade aperture for smoother bokeh effect and a minimum focusing distance of 20cm / 8”.
TTArtisan 23mm F1.4 APS-C is not an optical marvel for sure and lacks all auto features (auto focus, aperture from the camera body) but for $99, it offers a great fun and a pleasant bokeh for sure.
The TTArtisan 23mm F1.4 APS-C L-mount lens is available to purchase for $99 from TTArtisan’s online shop.
