Overview

The TTArtisan AF 75mm f/2 is a full-frame autofocus portrait lens offered for Sony E, Nikon Z, L-mount and Fujifilm X. On the Fujifilm X mount it is still a full-frame design, giving a longer equivalent field of view on APS-C bodies. The 75 mm focal length is promoted by TTArtisan as a golden focal length for portraits.

Optical design

The optical design has 10 elements in 7 groups, including one ED element and four high-index elements. The diaphragm has 9 blades with a range of f/2 to f/16, and the angle of view is 32 degrees. The minimum focus distance is 0.75 m and the filter thread measures 62 mm.

Autofocus and handling

A lead screw STM stepper motor drives the autofocus and supports eye, animal and vehicle detection. The lens has a clicked aperture ring, so the aperture can be set on the lens itself. A Type-C firmware port sits in the rear lens cap, and a PC+ABS lens hood is included.

Build and size

The body is all metal. TTArtisan gives the weight as 328 to 340 g depending on mount. Dimensions are 67 x 74 mm on Sony E and Fujifilm X and 67 x 76 mm on Nikon Z and L-mount (diameter x length). It is available in black and silver.

Where it fits

In the database, comparable full-frame portrait primes include the Sony FE 85mm F1.8, the Nikon Nikkor Z 85mm F1.8 S, the Viltrox AF 85mm F1.8 II and the Meike AF 85mm f1.8 Pro STM. The 75 mm length gives a slightly wider view than these. The TTArtisan AF 85mm f/1.8 Neo is a related autofocus portrait lens from the same maker.

Verdict
