TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 ASPH Features
Large aperture of F0.95
The large F0.95 aperture produces smooth, beautiful bokeh that is reminiscent of a master’s brushstrokes. The soft, blurred bokeh envelops the subject, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. It also ensures ample light, making it useful for shooting in dark places.
Natural angle of view at 50mm
The 50mm angle of view, close to the human field of vision, captures a variety of subjects at a natural distance, enabling realistic and immersive expression. It is suitable for a wide range of uses, including portraits, snapshots, and still life photography, and when wide open, it produces beautiful bokeh that makes the subject stand out.
High resolution and reduced aberrations
The 11-element, 8-group design, which combines one ASPH aspherical lens, two ED lenses, and eight high-refractive lenses, effectively suppresses various aberrations, achieving high contrast and resolution even at wide open apertures.
High-quality metal finish and ease of use
The lens barrel is made of aviation-grade aluminum and features a sophisticated anodized finish, giving it both texture and durability. It also features a click-type aperture ring for intuitive and reliable operation.
