About this deal
A conversation with a fellow reviewer today was third-party makers should go where the native lenses don’t. In this case, TTArtisan has delivered with its 35mm ƒ0.95, whereas Fujifilm has thrown in the towel with its supposed XF33mm ƒ1 ( which became the XF50mm ƒ1 in the end) ( yes, I understand I am comparing autofocus with manual focus here). The beauty of designing the lens as Leica M mount is you can adapt it to pretty much any digital camera. On the Leica SL I use a Leica M-L adapter and I use the same adapter with my Lumix S5 mirrorless camera. That said, if people ask me what adapter to buy today I normally recommend the Novaflex M-L adapter as it’s cheaper and still works well. Get closer for dreamy detail shots

The Fujifilm autofocus lenses offer so much more convenience. Not only do they have autofocus but they provide a better experience shooting the full aperture range of a lens. At half body portrait distance (roughly 1.2 to 1.5 m focus distance) the lens generally worked best for me, as it seems to be optimized for these distances. So sharpness and contrast are good enough, bokeh is smooth and undistracting.

In fact, the TTArtisan 27mm ƒ2.8 had more vignetting wide open at ƒ2.8 versus this lens at ƒ0.95 and I do recall that the Mitakon 35mm ƒ0.95 II for X-mount having more vignetting too. Conclusion

Though it's just my personal observation from disassembly of dozen lens models. Thank you @ChangshaNotes for sharing interesting details about founders split, that makes sense, and looks like that was a beneficial decision.

The camera-to-lens size ratio on the X-H2S and X-Pro3 was quite ideal but do not expect an optical marvel in the TTArtisan 35mm f/0.95. It struggles wide open but I hope that the sample images also show that you can create decent results. The one-stop advantage! Or is it one stop? On paper, the f/0.95 is one and one-sixth of a stop faster than f/1.4, meaning you should be able to shoot at more than double your shutter speed. This way we would have a seamless operation with our cameras and could enjoy the wonderful tactile feeling of a solidly built lens using manual focus. ProsHi again my friend! I’m sure I have heard you mention the Zeiss Distagon 35/1.4 and I’ve used the Sony version and it was really a very very excellent lens. Let me sift around for a Zeiss 35/1.4 for M mount I have decent results on the Z6 with the Nikkor 50 1.2 but hate the bulky adapter and am now tempted by the Mitakon mark-iii in Nikon z-mount – but not sure how the larger aperture renders especially in low light. I used to cooperate on 7Artisans lens review, but lost communications with them more than year ago. When TTArtisans appeared on the market, they impressed me mechanically and optically by showing higher machining quality and rendering performance.
