But $99* for a full-frame 85mm f\/1.8? That&#8217;s the price of TTArtisan&#8217;s latest lens, and it may set a new record for affordability in this category. It&#8217;s part of their new, most budget-friendly NEO series, and given TTArtisan&#8217;s track record of delivering relatively good optical quality in solidly built bodies, I&#8217;m really intrigued to see what this lens can do. Let&#8217;s take a closer look.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>While the official price is $99, TTArtisan Store is selling it for $89, and they also have a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">limited-time $ 5-off offer<\/span>, which brings the price to<strong> $84<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-59227\"

Generally, as this lens does not include any aspherical elements in its construction, the risk of edgy bokeh is low. However, the swirling effect can become distracting in some situations, unless you like that effect, of course. Also, the high level of chromatic aberration can reduce the softness of the bokeh in contrasty scenes.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>I LIKE<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><b>AVERAGE<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>I DON\u2019T LIKE<\/b><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Sharpness<\/li>\n<li>Distortion correction<\/li>\n<li>Size<\/li>\n<li>Price<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">AF accuracy<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>Vignetting<\/li>\n<li>Flare resistance at wider apertures<\/li>\n<li>Bokeh<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">AF speed<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>CA<\/li>\n<li>Focus breathing<\/li>\n<li>Flare resistance at smaller apertures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">So, the verdict is a mix of praise and criticism. TTArtisan has always been a manufacturer willing to try unconventional designs, and this lens definitely counts as one of them. While fixed-focus body-cap lenses exist without focus rings, this is the first <strong>autofocus lens<\/strong> I\u2019ve seen that completely omits a manual focus ring. There is actually one more, a 28mm f\/4.5 but at f\/4.5 a 28mm has massive DoF compared to an 85mm f\/1.8.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">On the positive side, sharpness is good\u2014and actually better than many earlier budget-friendly options. Distortion is nearly non-existent, vignetting isn&#8217;t too severe, and the bokeh looks pleasing in most scenes. The autofocus is also perfectly acceptable for a lens in this price class. Combine all of that with an unbeatable price tag in a compact, lightweight package, and it becomes a very intriguing option.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">However, having no manual focus ring can feel restrictive at times. On top of that, chromatic aberration is quite severe for my taste, and flare resistance could definitely be better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">So, is it the right lens for you?<\/p>\n<p>If you currently only rely on a standard kit zoom, want shallow depth of field for portraits with solid sharpness on a tight budget, and don&#8217;t care about manual focus override, then yes\u2014go for it.
