TTArtisan 90mm f/1.25 for Sony E-Mount | A Bokeh Beast!

[@cceanna]

I am obsessed with your portrait pictures! 😍

[@RudyVisuals]

Oh thank you!

[@dakotaxu4792]

You just answered all my questions after you showed the much sharper photos from the Sony!

[@mariaandbryan]

Wow!! Those photos, the blurry background is fantastic! And of course, who's that dog?? So cute!!! It seems great especially that bokeh, it is a winner for sure.

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you! It's my in-laws dog! :)

I have been tempted by this lens for a while, I love fast manual lenses for my full frame 61mp Sigma FPL. I finally ordered one because I noticed that on their website the lens is only available in M mount, and they confirmed that they have discontinued the other mounts. I found an L mount version listed on a trusted website for what seemed like a discounted price, $449 us. Seemed like an opportunity that I did not want to lose. When possible I try not to adapt my lenses. I am very excited to play around with those extra creamy backgrounds, it should arrive tomorrow.

[@RudyVisuals]

Enjoy it! It's a really fun lens to shoot with!

[@TwoHungryDiners]

Nice review Aaron! The photos looks super nice and the bokeh looks amazing 👍🏻 Great to know some pros and cons you shared with us in this review too. It’s very helpful for anyone who considers to buy this lens.

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you :)

[@kavi6813]

That was a fair and balanced review and fair play for highlighting the issues. Not one for me but I'm sure it has a market among some.

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks man!

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

i love you new model!! 🐕😍

[@TanTansConcoction]

Ttartisan lens ❤ great review as always 😊

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you! :D

[@cathycat9169]

The photos from this lens look beautiful 😍😍 and your doggy looks so cute!

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you!! 😊

[@sarag4187]

@2:10 You say it's not great for video but the sample looks kinda good!

[@RudyVisuals]

In terms of the image quality yes it can get nice results, but it's not easy to keep things in focus.

[@sirelegance89]

Is it hard to get shots in focus at such a shallow depth of field?

[@RudyVisuals]

Generally yes, the shallower you go, the trickier it gets.

[@LifetimeTravelmates]

loving the amazing bokeh! yeah! but the weight puts me back a lot! :(

[@RudyVisuals]

Yeah the weight is a killer!

[@gayleexplores4765]

The aperture and focal length seems perfect for portraiture. No AF just really puts me off as I'm not confident in my own shooting ability 🥺

[@RudyVisuals]

It's definitely not for everyone!

[@sarag4187]

Loved the review as always and really nice sample images. Is that a new dog, what happened to Mina? I think I agree it looks like a lens I would use for fun but not sure I would rely on manual focus on a shoot.

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you as always! We still have Mina she is retiring in Poland with the in-laws! The dog is Kiara, who my inlaws have adopted to keep Mina company :)

[@zackace335]

I saw Kaiman Wong's video about this lens as well. It looks like a fun lens just not one you'd want to keep. Like a muscle car.

[@RudyVisuals]

I think that's a good analogy. The lens has quite a niche and specific use case so it's not really an 'every day' lens.

[@JohnPaulSeeTravelFilms]

wow that Bokeh!!!

[@RudyVisuals]

It's a bokeh beast!

[@juliuslinus1161]

It's a new dog for you? Cool looking lens but in 2022 I don't want to mess around with manual focus..

[@RudyVisuals]

Not new she's been in the family for years but now living with our other dog with my in laws :)

[@retrogamerz9576]

Definitely a very pretty lens and pretty doggie!!

[@RudyVisuals]

Haha thanks, yes and yes!

[@handansaber6019]

The lens cap and screwing mechanism of the hood is a bit weird and the image quality really just doesn't look that impressive to me. For portraits the sony 85mm would be waay better.

[@RudyVisuals]

Yeah we are not fans of the cap and hood design at all.

[@anhngocquy3759]

Hello dear, very professional video. The photos are beautiful and you have a beautiful dog, it looks like a wolf. I hope that you visit Vietnam soon so I can see it in your photos 🥰🥰

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you very much!

[@cathycat9169]

400 pounds for a manual focus lens seems pricey to me, I would definitely prefer to get an AF lens for that much even if it's not as fast

[@RudyVisuals]

I think we would generally go for an AF lens as well in this case, but there are some niche use cases where an f1.25 could be needed.

[@cathycat9169]

@@RudyVisuals I imagine it would be great for low light situations

[@gdoggscreations9221]

Awesome new lens and great review for the pros and con of it. Pretty pricey right? Thumbs up! 81

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks for stopping by :)

[@sidemunky]

1kg for a lens? That's a beast!

[@RudyVisuals]

It's a tank!

[@cameraprepper7938]

The TTAtisan 90mm 1.25 is too heavy, the built quality not up to what I expect and the optical image quality too bad ! I have the Sony 135mm 1.8 GM which is sharp from aperture 1.8, but it is also a big and heavy Lens, so because I rarely use autofocus, then I now most use the Voigtländer Macro APO-Lanthar 110mm 2.5 which have outstanding optical image quality, it is built like a tank, but is is smaller and lighter than the Sony 135mm.

[@lilmai1997]

Great video Aaron! You took some lovely photos of Wera 🥰 The blur on this lens is amazing very smooth and buttery, if it had autofocus I would consider getting it for myself at that price it's a steal. I'm too impatient to deal with manual focus only lenses. It's 2022!!! We should not have to deal with that by now!

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you. I do agree with you to an extent but there are some situations where manual focus does come in useful.

[@jonashylo9173]

1kg!!! that lens must feel like a tank!

[@RudyVisuals]

It definitely does!

[@jonashylo9173]

Cool lens but MF is not for me

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks! It's definitely not for everyone!
