Manual Focus Lenses On The Fujifilm X-E4 - TTArtisan 50mm F2

Manual Focus Lenses On The Fujifilm X-E4 - TTArtisan 50mm F2
I love using my Fujifilm X-E4. I have been using the Fujifilm 27mm f 2.8 lens on it for a while but wanted to add another longer focal length to my setup. TTArtisan sent over the 50mm F2 over to me to try out which matched my vision of having a longer filter lens. Check out this video to see what my impressions on this lens are and hopefully it helps you out.
If you have any question don't hesitate and put them down in the comments.
Hope you enjoy this one!
Thanks for tuning in!

Heidi you are the most honest, friendly youtuber of the lot. I so enjoy your videos. I can sit back with my Oatmeal porter beer and feel like I'm right there with you. Thank you so much for making and sharing these videos of your adventures!

[@bo5ibbs]

About to pick up an XE3 and this lens combo for $500. Results look solid

[@alex-chicago-80]

I used it on my Zf and I just keep it on F5.6 and infinity focus. Anything within 10 yards is sharp and I don't need to mess with the focus dial.

[@torb-no]

They're not cheap, but another great set of compact lenses for Fujifilm are the pancakes from Voigtlander. Absolutely incredible, and they're chipped so they communicate with the camera allowing for EXIF data and automatic zoom in when focusing (if desired). Thanks for the review though, I've been looking for a super compact 50mm for Fuji and this seems like a good option.

[@braisfragapedreira6279]

I use a lot of vintage lens and fucus peaking has helped me a TON

[@StevenSchulzPhoto]

Focus peaking is definitely a big help! I use it all the time too

[@shira_yone]

I sort of just starting out and of course, is tight on budget; this lens in particular really appeals to me as I want something compact but it turns out I much prefer shooting longer focal length. As of now I'm just shooting with my Fuji XC15-45mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens, and I find plenty of occasions where having only 1/5.6 aperture at my preferred focal length limited me (it's mostly low light-ish situations). Plus I won't mind having some manual focus practice, considering my Fujifilm X-T100 doesn't exactly have a super fast autofocus in the first place.

[@carstenruthemann9020]

I use the 25/2 and 50/2 on my Olympus and absoluteley love them. Dirt cheap for the image quality and I love the completely manual handling. And a quite good size for the M43 format on top.! What do you want more? Have fun with your 50/2!

[@StevenSchulzPhoto]

Thanks for the feedback! I definitely feel like it’s a great lens for the value.

[@lukewatsonphoto]

Great video Steven! Will definitely consider this lens - seems like a good travel option

[@StevenSchulzPhoto]

For sure a good travel option. It’s tiny

[@israel_29]

Thank you for this. I’ve been looking into this lens for my X-E2s.

[@StevenSchulzPhoto]

If you don’t mind manual focus and you want to keep your setup small this is definitely worth trying out

[@israel_29]

No. I don’t mind. Im actually enjoying the slower pace to focus. Sometimes missing and getting a little blur of people. I’m currently using two Minolta SR lens, the 50 f2 and 28 f2.8 with an adapter. Which of course adds more length to the lenses.

[@StevenSchulzPhoto]

@@israel_29 I am definitely with you on that slower process. It’s definitely very enjoyable

[@ThePhotographersStone]

I use this on my X-E2S and it’s great! I returned my TTartisan 50mm f1.2 because I like this 50mm f2 better. Mainly because of the size.

[@angatpinoy2]

Hi!!! I have an X-E2 as well, is this lens best for night photography as well?

[@haydenprouty7555]

Great review, thanks. This video really made me miss Philly though!

[@Jarrych83]

I had the same adjustment to aperture ring location. I like the design on this lens line for keeping it out of the way and the hand finds the focus ring pretty automatically. The overall usability feels like it was designed by someone who knows how lenses are held.

[@StevenSchulzPhoto]

Yeah, it was definitely a little bit awkward at first having the aperture ring in front just because all other lenses i have ever owned were the exact opposite but it’s not a big deal at all and I got used to it extremely fast.

[@ChiaraBizzarraGiovanelli]

I think it's time for me to get one of these little lenses. I have an old 55mm helios, which is amazing, but it's huge and heavy and I have to use an adaptor. Thank you Steven, your video helped me a lot! Greetings from italy :)

[@StevenSchulzPhoto]

These are definitely very good for their price. I love having them. I am glad my video helped!

[@Jermzybarra]

You should try out the 25 f2! It’s seriously one of my favorite lenses for the Fuji x system

[@StevenSchulzPhoto]

Appreciate the suggestion! 🙌🏻

[@typeology8266]

This lens is waaaay too sharp than i expected. I mean.. my 16-55 didn't win it at any aperture from center to corner from my brick wall tests and also landscape shoots.

[@Qwerty__________]

I’m really split between buying this lens and the 35mm f1.8 af. I already use the 25mm f2 on an XE-2, so happy with mf and af, just looking for something to compliment the 25mm. Any recommendations?

[@kremagustin16]

Hi, do you have any issues using the focus peaking? I’m using the 35mm f1.2 but the focus peaking is not working on my camera (same xe4). Thank you

[@StevenSchulzPhoto]

My focus peaking works great. I set my color to red because I found that you can see that the best. I don’t know if that is the problem that is happening to you, but maybe give it a shot and change the color

[@kremagustin16]

@@StevenSchulzPhoto hello, it works now. Thank you :)

[@StevenSchulzPhoto]

@@kremagustin16 awesome!

[@thebongtwister]

Hello, Can I shoot video with this lens ? I just bought a Nikon z30, my first dslr camera. I saw there is a z mount version of if. But I don't know whether shooting video is allowed or not. Kindly help me here.

[@StevenSchulzPhoto]

You can definitely shoot video with this lens. Keep in mind that it is a manual focus lens and doesn’t have any auto focus. But a lot of times Manuel focus is definitely the way to go for video work depending on what you do of course.

[@thebongtwister]

@@StevenSchulzPhoto Thanks. I already started shooting videos in manual mood so I can learn videography. Thanks a lot for the guidance. Appreciate it.

[@elmoqbobo]

The optical glass is kind of plasticy
