A fun new lens for my Fujifilm X-T2

Chris and Carol

Fujifilm X-T2
TTArtisan AF 27mm f2.8 Auto Focus Lens
Limited Edition Yellow-Orange
APS-C
35mm Equivalent is 41mm

Sharp, colorful, compact, fun, inexpensive, especially compared to the Fujifilm equivalent.
The orange ring is the lens hood.

APS-C AF 27mm f2.8 lens.
Not subtle. The orange thingy is a lens hood.
First image. f5.6, 1/20, ISO 1600, 27mm (41mm full-frame equivalent). Velvia Vivid film simulation.

FUJIFILM XF 27mm f/2.8 R WR Lens – $399.00 at B&H. Yes, the Fuji is a lot more lens, but to be quite frank, Fujifilm lenses are way too expensive to start filling my camera bag with them.
I love color!

  1. I have the Fujinon XF27mmF2.8 R WR lens but I love the colour of this lens. It’s so intense! :grinning:

    I looked at the specs of the TTArtisan 27mm and they are similar to the Fujinon lens but at half the price. I look forward to seeing the photographs you make with this.

    1. Thanks for your comments! No doubt the Fuji will perform better under a wide range of shooting situations, and I love Fuji lenses (I have the XF 18-55mm f2.8-4 R LM OIS lens) now. But, as you’ve pointed out, the specs are similar at over half the price.
      I mostly use my X-T2 as a platform for shooting with my classic lens collection and for testing lenses before reselling them, so it can get a bit tiring having to focus all the time manually. I just wanted a simple autofocus lens. The splash of color is a nice pop, too.
      I’ll post additional pics soon, as I hope to take the lens out on a nice sunny day. – Chris
