Value for the money, and build are very good. This lens is surprisingly quite heavy and clunky. You'll get used to it, but you won't relish taking it on a long walk. It's soft at the edges (as advertised) but sharp enough at the center. It's not a lens of strong contrast, but it is easy to make swirl, just have something backlit in the background, and don't be too close to main subject. It's an old design, from 1940's and kind of a one-trick-pony. BUT, it is fun, and capable of making unique images. It's manual focus, and has that vintage feel. As someone who owns many vintage lenses, TTArtisan did a nice job!

It does what it sets out to do. What else can I say but stuff you can read in the description. It's a heavy lens that will need an adapter- which might lead to a frontheavy camera. They provide a tool so you can unscrew the barrel and align the centerline. It was intimidating to me but I got it done in under 5 mins, certainly worth the time, though its entirely cosmetic. I took the lens out for a night of shooting. 75mm is pretty long on full frame so be careful with that. Its also manual focus so understand that it will take a while to get shots, especially at 1.5. Quality is good. Size is big. But really, its a specialty lens and nothing in my arsenal can do what this lens does. I'm shooting a wedding next week and feel like this one might be fun to use during posed photos after the ceremony. I'll keep it on a second body so I can jump back to a auto focus lens quickly if needed. I don't like 5 star rating. 4 point scales are better. 1= below expectation, 2=near expectation, 3=meets expectation, 4=exceeds expectation. From what this lens does, I give it 4 out of 4. So Ill translate that to a 5 star rating. The lens is fantastic at what it does. Is it a perfect lens? No. There's all sorts of character that one might not attribute to a "perfect" lens, but that isn't the expectation with this lens. The out of focus elements are funny shaped, the focus throw is huge so focusing takes time, the lens is heavy. Theres lots of issues one can bring up, but that doesnt mean the lens performed below my expectations. Its a great character lens that any portrait photographer should at least try.

I, like you (probably) was into the look of some of the shots from Poor Things. I priced the petzval and saw how it’s out of stock a lot. I then looked deeper and found the Helios 44-2, but found that it’s either cheap and it’s a gamble on what model you get, or it’s expensive and you’re paying several times more for it than the seller paid. I ended up getting the TTArtisans 75mm over the rest because it looks great, there’s no gamble on whether it will be clean/functional , and the price is right. I do really want to get the Lomography 58 Petzval and Iron Glass Helios rehousing someday, but I love this lens. The focus is sharp and the bokeh is beautiful. It is sturdy but not too heavy. It is my new favorite lens and I will probably buy a second. I’ve mostly been doing product photography and portraits, but I’ve shot some nice video with it too. I’m working on a full in-depth review for YouTube. Update: The video was shot handheld on my canon R8. There was no editing done to the video, it’s raw from the camera. To the people complaining about the lens being upside down: You can flip the lens by carefully loosening the screws on the lens and rotating the lens. I am kind of clumsy so I bought a Pholsy M42 to RF mount. That mount allows you to flip the orientation of the lens without unscrewing the lens. It comes with an Allen wrench and it took me about one minute to fix the orientation.

This reasonably priced TTArtisan 75mm F1.5 lens is different than your regular, sharp, AF fast prime lens. Instead, you get something a bit unusual. Different bokeh is the main effect. You never know what the final outcome will be, especially wide open - but chances are you'll like the result. It's constructed like a professional lens, made of metal, beautiful finish and of course heavy but sturdy. It has a threaded screw-on lens cap and uses an M42 lens adapter to your camera which you must order separately. Mine worked perfect for the Nikon Zf. It is a manual focus lens that does not auto-focus nor communicate with your camera, so you'll need to feel comfortable shooting full manual. But that's not difficult and you can expect to have some fun with this lens. Try shooting at f/1.5 with a close subject for the most bokeh affects. 5-stars.
