100mm f2.8 TTArtisan Bubble Bokeh Manual M Mount Lens Review

[@PhilThach]

Nice review of an interesting lens, David!

[@davidsaylors]

Thank you Phil, I agree, it looks to be a winner.

[@SnaphypeWorld]

Wonderful review, David 👍👍👍

[@davidsaylors]

Thank you. The lens is a big player in that. Wait till you see part two that is coming up soon.

For the price, it's definitely a good lens! I could live with it because I crop almost all my shots..Thanks, Dave!

[@davidsaylors]

True and shot wide open, the effect is actually kinda pleasing.

Great lens review. Thank you.

[@davidsaylors]

Thank you for watching.

Definitely gotta try some TTArtisans lenses. I think they have a nice 90mm. Gotta go look and see what inexpensive lens they have I may be able to snag.

[@davidsaylors]

They are on ebay for something like 65$ shipped right now. It is hard to believe the 35mm f1.4 APS-c version is that cheap! They make full frame stuff too, but most of mine are the APS-c variants for my CL. Do you have a APS-c Panasonic machine?

TTArtisan Lenses are very good...great video David, Thanks

[@davidsaylors]

I agree, this one is a winner for sure!

So I hurt my right arm and the Leica Sl2-S is heavy and painful after walking around for 30 minutes. I bought the Panasonic S9 and it is much easier using these M lenses. I forgot about the barrel distortion correction in the camera. I noticed the TTAritisan Distortion when you were sitting next to the brick wall on the left edge. Cheers!

[@davidsaylors]

I forgot about that too. Thanks!!!! Sorry to hear about your arm. That is terrible!!!

I have this lens 3 months ago… it’s a creative lens that creates bubble bokeh good for nature photography not for street photography…

[@davidsaylors]

I agree completely

David I like 100mm2.8 manuel focus lenses I have a Pentax version it has the 49mm filter thread so my Takumar metal lens hood fits the lens It's just a little longer than a 50mm lens so it's a fairly small lens . I perfer the field of view on my 28 mm 2.8 or a 35mm 2.4 lens for street photography on my APS-C cameras over the 100mm lens which is better for portrait pictures because of the separation and bokeh of the lens. It makes a good short light weight telephoto lens for hiking iin the local mountains over carrying a heavier zoom lens on a long hike.

[@davidsaylors]

That was my thoughts too. This is why there is a part 2 coming for this lens where I shoot it on my CL! 👍

[@scrptwic]

@@davidsaylors Thanks David I will make sure to watch part 2 about this lens

[@TomPark1986]

Dang...that vignetting is ridiculous. Who okayed this as a product "Hey boss....yeah so the lens actually blocks the fame...."

[@davidsaylors]

Not sure. I am wondering if when it is on a M mount camera if that goes away. All the photos on their website look fine. I have used other M mount lenses on this adapter with no problems which is why I thought it wasn’t part of the problem.
