This $159 Ultra Wide Angle Lens For Fujifilm X Is A Must Have!

[@JackieDElia]

Very nice review, Andrei. I like the way the footage looks with the lens.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thanks a lot!

[@REALESTSNOWFOX]

Very nice video, and I'll consider getting this for the xt5 I recently bought

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@NaturesCookFlavor]

Must try this kind of camera.

[@Stories-in-Black-and-White]

Thanks for thr review. This is really good lens for that price.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

My pleasure!

[@jacopovalentino]

Great to see different lenses used in the same environmet. Do you live in Valencia? I used to live there a few years back.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Yes, I do.

[@dan.allen.digital]

Nice video. When you were recording sample footage with the tt artisan 10mm were you using a gimbal or was that just the xt5 IBIS stabilization?

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Thank you! I used a gimbal.

[@bigbarkingdog2010]

Nice review. Thank you.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@0xXNickXx0]

Wow it looks amazing i must say. Was the video in the city shot with a gimbal by the way or just IBIS?

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

I used a gimbal.

[@0xXNickXx0]

@@AndreiDimaReviews ah! I was already wondering if the IBIS of the xt5 was that much better than my xt4

[@travelcanada8817]

Andrei, quick question for you. If you were to compare this to the Rokinon 12mm F2 manual focus lens, which would you go for? Cheers, mate. Thanks again for the great content! ❤

[@rpmusick]

Samyang has worse colors, and much more distortion. If you want 12mm get 7artisans T2.9 cine lens.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

I think this is a bit better than the Rokinon 12mm f2. Thank you!

[@petr-podrouzek]

Great review Andrei 🙂

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PeresD]

Great review .

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@eYACTION]

I would like to try a such lens bro ❤😊

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

It's a nice lens!

[@thegoodthingz]

I would rather go for the 13mm viltrox i think but its a nice lens

[@rpmusick]

You should have both.

[@thegoodthingz]

@@rpmusick yeah I see, I see. But I don't want to have lots of gear and also can't afford lots of gear

[@colinthecameraguy]

The Viltrox 13mm is no doubt a nice lens however, it’s £350 so more than double the price of the TT Artisan 🤷

[@rpmusick]

It has flawless autofocus and 1.4 aperture ofc it's more than double the price@@colinthecameraguy

[@colinthecameraguy]

@@rpmusick which begs the question, Why would you suggest that @thegoodthingz should have both lenses?

[@jimofmarseille]

Hello and thanks for this review ! I'm looking forwasrd to get a ultrawide angle lense for the 40mpix APSC Fuji sensor (X-H2 and coming X-T5). How would you compare the Laowa 10mm f4, TTartisan F2 and Viltrox 13mm F1.4 on this sensor, putting aside the size and max aperture ? Would the coockie Laowa be equivalent IQ to the TTartisan ? Would the Viltrox be really significatively better ? Only for photo, no video. Thanks !

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Between the Laowa and the TTArtisan, I would pick the TTArtisan. The Viltrox is better but not by much.

[@jimofmarseille]

@@AndreiDimaReviews Thanks a lot !

[@6.5mm_is_the_best_mm]

Hello, Andrei. I was hoping you could help me pick a lens for interior homes. I am a house painter and I want to take photos for real estate and business portfolio purposes. I am looking for a wide angle lens with a decently wide aperture as the lighting isn't always perfect. My only short focal length lens right now is a Fujinon 23mm f/2 WR. I need something for small rooms and bathrooms so maybe two different sizes are needed. I shoot on an X-T30 II.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Hello, the Viltrox 13mm f1.4 is a good lens for interiors. And if you want something wider the Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D is great. Also the one in this review if you are on a budget.

[@6.5mm_is_the_best_mm]

@@AndreiDimaReviews I ordered the Fuji 10-24mm f/4 R OIS WR yesterday as it seemed like a versatile lens that could handle most situations and I realized that I will be stopping down to around f/8 from a tripod most of the time to get the entire room in focus. I will be doing exposure bracketing to brighten up the image. Also, the OIS might come in handy for video since my current camera does not have ibis. Thank you for replying with your recommendations. I will check them out. I am sure the images will be sharper in the corners with the primes you mentioned vs the wide-angle Fuji zoom, and I might use the 13mm f/1.4 quite a bit.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

The Fujifilm XF 10-24mm is a great lens. I hope you enjoy it!

[@christophedus5050]

Hard to make a choice between this lens and the laowa 10mm f4 😢

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

If you mean 10mm f4 cookie, then buy this one, it is better.

[@aatishtamta680]

Can we use this lens for astrophotography???

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Yes

[@victorli4316]

Is it a good astro lens? I want to replace my Samyang 12mm f2 as sometimes the colour is not great, but it is a great astro lens. I am considering this TtArtisan (very wide) and Viltrox 13mm 1.4 (very bright). I wish I can have both.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

I never used this one for astro photography but I used the Viltrox 13mm and is good for astro.

[@poche660]

IMO it is not a good astro lens. To get adequate sharpness you need to stop down causing you to need a long exposure. I'm sure process techniques would help a lot.

[@reelove9131]

How would this lens do for shooting the auroras? TIA

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Yes

[@Cucumiso]

i have 7artisans 12mm 2.8 what do you thnik is better?

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

I didn't review or try the 7Artisans lens so I can't say.

[@mgman6000]

How can you have focus breathing on a manual lens?

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Focus breathing can occur on both manual and autofocus lenses. It's a phenomenon where the angle of view changes slightly when adjusting the focus. This is due to the optical design of the lens, where the internal elements move to achieve focus, causing a change in magnification. While it’s more noticeable in some lenses than others, focus breathing isn't necessarily tied to whether a lens is manual or autofocus; it's more about the specific construction and design of the lens itself.

[@mgman6000]

@AndreiDimaReviews Thanks, I thought it was an auto focus len trying to find focus. I use focus peaking and never noticed

[@architektmartin]

Interesting lens. How big is the difference between this inexpensive lens from TTArtisan 10mm f2 Ultra Wide Angle Lens and the higher priced NiSi 9mm f/2.8 Sunstar Aspherical Lens?

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

I think the TTArtisan is sharper in the centre at f2.8 but the NISI has better corner performance.

[@rpmusick]

So F2 is a no go, too soft?

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

F2 is usable but you get more contrast and sharpness at f2.8.

[@jedunboxing4127]

they dont have stock in our place

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Sorry to hear that.

[@donhilarion6565]

its not difficult to focus ?

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

No

[@poche660]

Sharp enough but nowhere near as sharp as any Fujinon lens. I would buy it again for the ultra wide angle but not for sharpness. But for some sharpness is not always the end game. For $150 how could anyone be disappointed with this lens.

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

For the price it is a good lens.
