- Do you need native lenses for your camera, or do third party lenses work just as well?
I take my TTArtisan 25mm lens on my X-E4 to Melbourne for some street photography.
This TTArtisan lens, although all manual, is wonderful for street, casual shooting, and more than up to any sort of photo that will go onto social media. In fact, you won't be able to tell any difference between images from this lens and a comparable Fujifilm lens.
If you aren't a working photographer, why spend big money on lenses when these much cheaper ones will do the same thing?

I came for a lens review but stayed for your mostly excellent shots: first time on your channel and you do "street" better than so many vloggers who's images just have nothing to them. Great results dont require "great" gear.
Thank you, I appreciate that. I'm still experimenting with what I like, so it's noce to hear some encouragement. Cheers
I'm also based in Melbourne and was thinking of picking up this lens. Loved the photos of the reflections of people walking off the wet tiles - a very Melbourne photo! Thanks for the review.
Love my ttartisan lenses. The 25mm f2 was my first. I also own the 35mm f1.4 and 50mm 1.2. Have my eye on the 17mm f1.4. I know not everyone is into manual focus but I’m having a great time. Having a Fujifilm with exposure triangle and other features at my fingertips (X-T1 & X-T2) with manual lenses is like driving a sports car instead of a luxury car. Not for everyone I’m sure but great experience.
What a refreshingly different presentation. I loved it. And I thought ALL your photos were very good indeed. I particularly liked the one with the three girls in their cosplay outfits as Hatsune Miku. Great to see young people just enjoying themselves and simply 'BEING' young people. I already have several TTArtisan lenses but will probably add this 25mm to the range. Thanks for a fun presentation Greg, and Greetings and a Happy New Year from London.
Nice review Greg - many thanks! I have the TTArtisans 35mm f1.4 but I want something more compact. Despite this lens being $100 I still feel I need to justify it - if only for the sake of being a minimalist. You're certainly helping to tilt the scales in favour of getting this little beauty.
thank you Rob Halford, see you on tour

I'm STILL making money with my cameras (39 years and counting!) and almost exclusively with my (MUCH more costly) XF glass, but this little 25/2 is a LOT of fun when I'm not shooting for dollars (and it only cost me $65!) We live in blessed times for affordable photography.
Great shots!
Thanks :)
I’ve been tracking this lens. It seems to like B&W as I do. Yes, shoot manual! #zonefocus Thanks mate✌️🇦🇺
4:13 Great photo - the contrast with the modesty of the burqa vs the little left to the imagination of the bikini. There’s also the contrast between soggy Melbourne with mandatory umbrella vs some sun drenched paradise. Brilliant.
One of those times I had to point and snap, no time for adjusting dials or fine tuning exposure... zone focus rulez.
Beautiful shots.
nice shots! Subscribed!
Very interesting review, has prompted me to try one of these.
Found a mint condition used one on that big auction site for much cheapness.
Initial impressions very favourable, really enjoying the user experience and am delighted with the results.
Thanks for providing the inspiration to try this lens, it's opened up a whole new way of doing photography for me.
Rules will be broken.....
😁👍
Cool, enjoy the creativity
According to you is it possible to take close up portraits, or the focus distance does not allow you to do so?
Consider using an aps-c.
Thanks for help
Close focus is 25cm, so more than close enough.
Nobody have a problem with the bayonett ? My lens don’t lock well
Great images - but I'm too lazy to go back to Manual lenses for street photography ... 🦘
