For the Sony FE system the next best thing we got so far is the Sony FE 50mm 2.5 G, but it isn&#8217;t as fast and also not that affordable.<br \/>\nTo my surprise TTArtisan is now the one trying to revive the Nifty Fifty and despite being a mirrorless design it is as small as the smallest SLR 50s.

This 50mm 2.0 is different though, as it isn&#8217;t even available for M-mount and the casing design also differs a lot from their M-mount lenses. Like the M-mount lenses it is also made by DJ-Optical though.<\/p>\n<p>The mechanical quality generally feels good although I do see some cost cutting measures, as the markings are only printed, not engraved and filled with paint as I am used to from TTArtisan.<br \/>\nThe aperture ring (90\u00b0 rotation from f\/2.0 to f\/16) has a rather unusual stepping, too: half-stop click-stops between f\/2.0 and f\/5.6 and full-stop click-stops between f\/5.6 and f\/16. The stops also get narrower as you stop down, so the internal mechanical design must be a bit simpler.<\/p>\n<p>The focus ring does offer a nice resistance slightly on the soft side and rotates a bit more than 120\u00b0 from the minimum focus distance of 0.50 m to infinity. Using the lens it felt like it didn&#8217;t focus as close as advertised, so I checked and indeed the minimum focus distance is closer to 0.6 m.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32887\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32887\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32887\" src=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/TTArtisan_50mm_2.0_hood_attached.jpg\" alt=\"TTartisan 50mm 2.0 e-mount fe sony a7rii a7riv review comparison contrast sharpness vignetting pancake small\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/TTArtisan_50mm_2.0_hood_attached.jpg 800w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/TTArtisan_50mm_2.0_hood_attached-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/TTArtisan_50mm_2.0_hood_attached-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32887\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">TTArtisan 50mm 2.0 with 43mm hood attached<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There is no hood distributed with the lens and there isn&#8217;t an official one available.

In the forest I often found the Coma to ruin the bokeh in the corners a bit and looking at the picture with the statue field curvature might also play its part.<\/p>\n<p>So in the end this is not a lens that will yield great bokeh in any situation (like e.g. the <a href=\"https:\/\/phillipreeve.net\/blog\/review-sony-fe-85mm-1-4-gm\/\">Sony FE 85mm 1.4 GM<\/a>), but in many situations it yields

At home I have a shelve with some old (mostly broken) analogue cameras and among those is a Nikon FE with a Series E 50mm 1.8 lens. I sometimes look at that lens thinking &#8220;for SLR cameras such small yet fast 50mm lenses were possible, too bad this isn&#8217;t the case for mirrorless cameras anymore because of the missing mirror box&#8221;.<br \/>\nThe thing is, that old Nikon lens is about the same size as the TTArtisan lens being reviewed here, but the TTArtisan lens does not need a bulky adapter to be used on a mirrorless camera.<\/p>\n<p>As we are used to from TTArtisan\/DJ-Optical the build quality is nice and solid. The narrow aperture ring is the only thing I could nag about, but in the end this is also the price we have to pay for the small dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>The small number of lens elements and the absence of aspherical elements means we don&#8217;t see record breaking sharpness figures at the maximum aperture in the corners or perfectly corrected Coma. But is it really needed for a lens like this? I don&#8217;t think so.<\/p>\n<p>The sharpness and resolution is sufficient at f\/2.0 over most of the frame. Stopped down to f\/8.0 to f\/11 the across frame performance is also good enough for the lens to be used for architecture or landscape shots.<\/p>\n<p>The bokeh quantity will not break any records of course, but we get mostly even (thanks to low optical vignetting) and undistracting bokeh without onion rings &#8211; thanks to the absence of aspherical elements. In the forest or at night the strong Coma in the corners can be a bit distracting though.<\/p>\n<p>The achilles heel of the TTArtisan 50mm 2.0 is the bad flare resistance. If a light source is anywhere close by, you can be pretty sure to catch some artefacts. With the sun outside the frame shading the lens with my hand helped very often, but this isn&#8217;t always a solution and it shouldn&#8217;t be.<\/p>\n<p>I saved the best for last though: the TTArtisan is only $69. This is less than you usually pay for a semi-decent 40 years old SLR 50mm f\/1.8 lens with bulky adapter these days.<br \/>\nFor that price it is a great option to bring next to your big zoom lens as an alternative if you want to travel light or need a bit more speed every now and then.<\/p>\n<p><em>You can buy this lens from <a
