- This TTArtisan 50mm f1.2 MFT has caused quite a bit of stir in the micro four thirds community in recent month. Following on my previous TTArtisan 17mm f1.4 MFT review, here I am, looking at its bigger brother and see whether it's good or not. #TTArtisan #microfourthirds #photography

The lens is pretty cool, and it gets your usual well done review, but the bestest part of this one is the blooper reel with Charli. Priceless.
thanks Jimmy. you really answered all my questions and a little more.
I have this lens for my APSC canon M50 and I love it. I sold my EM5 mk2 awhile ago so I don't have any more M4/3 gear but I still love your channel. Like an old friend.
Cheers mate, much appreciated your support
I have been using this lens on my Fujifilm X-Pro3 and love it. It's very solid and sharp with very smooth operation... The images are very sharp and look great... I also use the TTArtisan 35 1.4 and Pergeard 25mm 1.8 with great results and are fantastic to use. I ordered the TTArtisan 17mm 1.4 and waiting on delivery.. Thanks Jimmy...
Cheers mate. Glad you enjoyed these lenses.
Is tt 1.4 better than this?
Your lens cupboard just keeps growing and growing each week LOL Just as well MFT lenes are small. Loved the blooper throwback
Great review, tempted, have the TTartisans 35mm f1.4 which is superb.........
Thanks for a very useful video. There are now quite a few ultrafast 50/55mm lenses and it has become difficult to select which one to buy 😀
Thanks so much for sharing!
I’ve never seen aperture blades shaped like that. My MC Rokkor 50/1.4 has similar (more extreme) haloing wide open, but the bokeh is a bit busier than the TT Artisan’s. Interesting lens and at $100 sounds like a great value. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for another excellent and very interesting review.
I like the body shape of this TT Artisan series of fast lenses (50mm f/1.2, 35mm f/1.4 & 17mm f/1.4). I have the 50/1.2 & 35/1.4 for my Sony A6600 and think they are an excellent buy (optically) for the money. I'm looking forward to also buying the 17/1.4 in this series.
For my Oly Pen F I use only Olympus or Panasonic/Leica lenses (no snobbery involved, it just happened to work out that way). Still, I find the TT Artisan fast glass series intriguing and a very good value.
Peace
Thank you! I Enjoy watching your reviews, especially towards the budget lens, the only ones I can afford. I have the TTArtisan 50mm f1.2 for about 2 months & I love this lens! Can't go wrong for $99! I just ordered TTArtisan 35mm f1.4 ($74), I've seen many good reviews on that as well. I tried the 7Artisan 35mm f1.2 & 7Artisan 35mm f0.95, I did not like those at all. What I can't seem to find a good review of is the Risespray 35mm f0.95, maybe you'll get a chance to review that lens in the near future.
I have the TT 35 and the TT 50 and I can tell you by experience that you'll probably end up using the 35 more 😂
I love the fact you mention toneh in you your video.
Toneh!!! hahaha
@@Red35Photography The most important aspect of any new lens!
Love the funny bits at the end of the video :)
Glad you like them!
Well, I love my Pentax-M 50 mm f1.4. It weights 361 gr and it's really heavy. But mechanic, haptic and image quality is outstanding. Yes, of course also fully manual and it costs me 63 euros. I love it.
Glad to see the word "Toneh" being used here lol. Mr. Northrup should be proud! :D
looks so nice on the Olympus Pen-F
I do not know, Jimmy. I am going with Olympus 4/3rds lenses with a 4/3rds to M4/3rds adapter. The Olympus 8mm f/3.5 is pretty amazing on my BMD Camera...
Maybe you could make a video on infrared photography using micro four thirds?
“Toneh”…that made me laugh!
Those aperture blades must make a nice star with those square edges.
The qualities sound very much like a vintage lens.
*all he wants is the perfect camera* 🎵
I really would like to see portraits examples
Huh. This has been around for a few years, interesting to see it getting noticed. It has been in my JD basket for a while, just never pulled the trigger.
miss your throwback show... for all the models you take the shoot
I miss them too!
We miss Charli!
i love the tt artisan product and your hat too hahahahaha
Hi!
I have a doubt if to buy this lens or the Olympus OM 50mm f1. 4?
Which one you would recommend?
This one, unless you want the OM look
I have an Olympus vintage Pen F lens..42mm 1.2. I live that lens on my digital Pen F
this lens is a beast!!!
Nice to see you watch the Toneh channel.
Oh yes I do.
That sound of the len's hood going on goes thru my teeth lol eeeeek
The bokeh seems ok if you are careful, but not sure why no rounded blades. They are pretty obvious when stopping down. However, for the price, it seems like a great lens. Not in my standard focal range, so I would pass.
no sample video?
It certainly seem's less unwieldy than the Kamlan 50mm f1.1 mk2!
600 g (1.32 lb)
(That's a heavy beast)
Great price. This lens seems pretty good. The Giggles are way better.
Kinda fyi the image projected by native MFT lenses is larger than the image circle diameter of the 4/3 sensor. This is deliberate and serves to improve sharpness in the corners and reduce vignetting. This is not an uncommon ply with camera lenses, to utilise the centre of the image more and put the actual edge off the sensor. If you adapt a CCTV lens (I know, it's silly) it will vignette like crazy.
Not all that long ago bokeh would have been considered a fault and sent back to the printer for having spilt neat developer on the paper. 😉 ;)
I've got this lens today and it wasn't able to focus correctly at infinity on my X-PRO3 ... Quality Control for beginners ...
Glad you enjoy ourself / Ulf
Why are they so many outtakes from another video at the end? Are they captured with the artisan Lens? Doesnt really look that way 🤔
Buckling up...
I was wondering if the apparent lack of colour on the front element - indicating little or no lens coating - had an adverse affect on contrast and flare resistance, particularly since no lens hood is supplied.
Why 24 35 50 mm choice?
So is this not really a 2.8 with it not being so great at 1.2
WOW... 😲 Thank you very much... 👍👌👍🙏 Question : What do you prefer... TTArtisan or 7Artisans...??
"SALUDOS... 👋🙋😃 "
As of now, I prefer TTArtisan than 7Artisans, but they both have some good ones.
@@Red35Photography 🙏🙏👍👍
At first, I thought, that lens could be something to have. Then I realized, that I have a closet full of Nikkor and Zuiko 50mm. What about to compared thar lens against one of them?
You need a Metabones or similar to take full advantage.
But I recently got an old style Zuiko 55 f1.2 and mounted it on my EM1.2.
Extremely soft and glowing, consequently full of "character". Yet to have a proper shoot.
Massive difference in contrast going from 1.2 to 2.0.
Anyway, there are TH-cam videos that talk about these. Here on the Red35 channel there have been reviews of legacy fast glass on Olympus OM-D.
@@ottomellar6774 I have the same lens, and Metabones for Zuiko and Nikkor F. I have those lenses for the character, and the new ones, they are missing that character, as this TTartisan.
I have the TTArtisan 50mm and also some old manual 50mm for my Olympus camera. I've found that the old manual lenses are softer in a dreamy sort of way, and they have a stronger character. The helios 44m5 58mm f2 is cooler in colors (*bluer), and loses contrast more easily in certain light situations, but, the pictures can be really beautiful and the bokeh is amazing (better than the TT) . The takumar 55 1.8 is warmer and I also feel that in the right conditions, has better contrast and can produce slighter punchier colors than the TT
I take the helios or the takumar with me whenever I have something in mind that requieres the style of one of them. But 80% of the time, I take the TT with me if I'm going to be using a 50mm. The TT also has really nice character, has better subject to background separation, nice colors, sharper than any of the others, lovely bokeh, it feels more reliable and translates better to lightroom
That being said, I'm more of a 35mm type of guy (I also have the TTArtisan 35mm). I think the 50 produces way better portraits, but it's also a lot less versatile than the 35, it looks like a 100 in mft and that's a bit much for me most of the time
Would auto focus ability really bring the price up that much?
Yes, it's more the initial R&D, the micro chip and motors, AF lenses requires delicate construction, as Yongnuo has proven, their first gen AF was horrible then improved upon second gen, but still lacks. They are all expensive but if the scale is there, there's a business case for it. But I think it's a matter of time before all these Chinese companies start making AF lenses.
This 50mm is the MFT equivalent to a 100m?
Yes it is.
Consider that the Kamlan 50 f1.1 weighs 600 grams, this 336 is suddenly quite acceptable!
FYI you were not far wrong ... Yoda and Miss Piggy were one and the same ... the voice of Frank Oz. :-)
Prefer the Kamlan f1.1 great build quality on that thing.
What type of shots do you tend to use the Kamlan for? Photo or video?
I use it as a tighter/medium or head shot along side a 2nd cam getting more of a wide shot.
If you go to 48s here you’ll see the Kamlan in action

I prefer the olympus om 50mm f1.4 than this ttartisans lens
Not a single sample portrait shown
I came to see what the lens could do, too much talk not enough show.
A review of a portrait lens with absolutely no portraits shown. Hard to take it seriously.
We have an English word for the out of focus background its "Blur".
* _it's_ toneh, btw. Isn't modern life rubbish?
Just an advice.. It wasnt that bad of a review but you need to take into account that you actually talked for 10 straight minutes with 0 portrait of photo or video samples of actual footage from this lens. Nobody wants to sit and watch you talk for something, its always better to show what you are talking about.. Three photo sample for a lens review? Are you serious? Also anybody who looks for this lens is asking for the performance of this lens for portraits cause this is 100 mm 1.2 ff Eq.
Jimmy did explain that he could not do any portraits as this review was done during lockdown......
Geared to photographers, I stopped watching! ;)
100 Euro? How to they produce such a cheap lens. What are the working conditions and the earnings for the workers like in the factory? I guess, not good at all.
I would never buy such a cheap lens. It's ethically not justifiable and smells like exploitation of the working class. High quantities also push the climate warming, because many photographers buy a lot of cheap lenses instead of one good lens that is produced with ethical and environmental working conditions.
Wow. You went from a nice little cheap lens to one that destroys the earth and all of humanity. That’s the internet in a nutshell.
Not professional at all.
