Overview

The TTArtisan 14mm f/2.8 ASPH is a manual focus ultra-wide lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras, offered for Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF and L-mount. TTArtisan quotes an angle of view of 114 degrees and positions it for landscapes, architecture, humanistic photography and starry skies.

Optical design

The lens has 13 elements in 10 groups including two aspherical elements, which TTArtisan says control distortion. The diaphragm has 8 blades and produces an eight-pointed starburst. The aperture range is f/2.8 to f/16, and the minimum focus distance is 0.2 m. TTArtisan supplies a 77 mm filter holder with the lens instead of listing a regular front filter thread.

Focusing and handling

Focusing and aperture are manual. The lens has a clicked aperture ring.

The body is all metal. TTArtisan gives 437 to 445 g without lens hood. Dimensions per mount (diameter x length) are 65 x 80 mm for Sony E and Nikon Z and 65 x 75 mm for L-mount and Canon RF. TTArtisan stresses that the lens remains compact and light for an ultra-wide.

Where it fits

Other ultra-wide options in the database include the Samyang AF 14mm F2.8 FE for Sony E with autofocus, the Sigma 14mm F1.4 DG DN, the Sigma 14mm F1.8 DG HSM Art and the Venus Laowa 14mm F4 FF RL Zero-D.
