TTArtisan APS-C 25mm f/2.0 X-Mount

TTArtisan APS-C 25mm f/2.0 X-Mount - a bright manual-focus prime

Travel days and street scenes don’t always leave time to change lenses or find a wider view. The TTArtisan APS-C 25mm f/2.0 X-Mount is a manual-focus prime with a bright f/2 maximum aperture, pairing a straightforward focal length with control over focus and depth of field. On a Fujifilm APS-C body, its view is equivalent to about 37.5mm on full frame, a natural-feeling perspective for everyday scenes. Take it out for street photography, where the 25mm focal length frames a subject with some of the surrounding scene, or pack it for travel when you want a single lens for varied surroundings. The f/2 aperture is useful when light levels fall and gives you scope to separate a subject from its background. It also focuses as close as 25cm, so a café detail, flower or small travel find can fill more of the frame. This is a fully manual lens, so focusing is a deliberate part of the process.

Optics and handling

• 61° angle of view: This gives the 25mm lens a moderately wide view, with space to include context around a street subject or travel detail.
• Close focus to 25cm: Move in for small subjects such as food, flowers or objects on a table, while keeping a little of their surroundings in the picture.
• Seven-blade aperture: The seven blades shape out-of-focus areas, adding a softer look behind a subject when you shoot with a shallow depth of field.
• Seven elements in five groups: This optical layout is the lens’s core construction, packaged in a prime with a 43mm filter thread.
• 166–189g weight: The listed weight range keeps the lens relatively light in a camera bag, a welcome detail when you’re travelling with your camera.
• f/16 minimum aperture: Stop down from the maximum f/2 aperture when you want a greater depth of field in a bright scene.

On your camera

This version has a Fuji X mount and covers the APS-C image format, making it a match for Fujifilm X cameras with APS-C sensors. Focus is manual, so the lens doesn’t autofocus; that suits a measured approach to framing and focus, rather than fast, automatic subject tracking. Its 25mm focal length gives the same angle of view as roughly 37.5mm on full frame when used on a Fujifilm APS-C body.
