  • Standard Macro Lens: Lightweight and compact, full metal body with weight only 371g. Excelling at close distances, the 40mm f/2.8 from TTartisan is a 80mm-equivalent macro lens (35mm equivalent focal length) for M4/3, providing an all-in-one solution for normal portrait shooting as well as macro photography.
  • 1X Magnification: The TTartisan 40mm f/2.8 offers a 1:1 life-size maximum magnification along with a 17cm minimum focusing distance. Manual focus design, along with focus distance and depth of field scales, aids in precise focusing control.
  • Optical Design: Its optical system consists of 8 elements in 7 groups. Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture suits working in a variety of lighting conditions and also contributes to the sleek form factor. An 11-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality.
  • Clicked Aperture Ring: The aperture ring is stepped with the right amount of resistance and click, marking on full stops from F/2.8 to F/16. The clicks are very light and just enough to let you know that you’ve changed your aperture setting.
  • Multi-Layer Coating: By reducing the impact of flares and ghosting effects in your pictures while ensuring excellent image quality and contrast from the center to the periphery, it offers crystal clear, sharp image quality.

You can find samples at the dedicated AmazonUS TTArtisan 40mmF2.8 page.

FujiRumors has already shared the TTArtisan lens short-mid term roadmap for Fujifilm X and GFX mount, and it contains a few very nice options, including the first TTArtisan autofocus lens for Fujifilm. You can check it our here.

One lenses on the roadmap and scheduled for September release is the TTArtisan 40mm f/2.8 Macro lens.

Well, fellow X shooter pal2tech has already got his hands on the TTArtisan 40mm f/2.8 macro. Above you can see the full video and below summary:

  • to cost around $100/150
  • strange, flat and thin lens cap
  • lens hood is not included
  • very tight aperture ring
  • 8 elements in 7 groups
  • 11 aperture blades
  • f/2.8 to f/16
  • 372 gram weight
  • not electronically controled lens. All manual lens and no EXIF lens data saved
  • solidly build lens
  • very nice focus ring
  • clear markings
  • filter size 52
  • 70cm minimum focus distance
  • at f/2.8 there is some vignetting and center is quite soft
  • at f/4 it gets much better
  • even better at f/5.6, but it still a bit soft of the corners
  • corners improve at f/8. Best aperture for this lens
  • no chromatic aberration issues
  • pretty good job of subject isolation at f/2.8
  • color rendition slightly on the cooler side
  • not recommended for professional macro work. You’ll need optical quality of the Fujinon XF80mm F2.8
  • but for prosumers it is a viable option
