LeicaS2 Posted July 8, 2022 Share #401 Posted July 8, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Now that is a good idea, Leica reintroduces a black version. I admit I would buy it even thought it cost $3,200 more than what I just paid for the TT in black. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 8, 2022 Posted July 8, 2022 Hi LeicaS2, Take a look here TTArtisan 28mm f5.6. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Huss Posted July 8, 2022 Share #402 Posted July 8, 2022 Ok for fun I took some very similar shots with my Orion 15 28mm f6 lens. This time I did not add a border as I wanted to show the full vignette at F6! All shots at f6. This lens is at infinity at the hard stop, which is very nice and perhaps a little surprising given that it uses an LTM-M adapter (Fotodiox). While the TTA 28 5.6 smears at the edges at 5.6, the Orion gets hazy. Interesting.. But no weird color casts, which is nice as this is a lens obviously built way before digital photography was even a consideration. This lens is made of some type of alloy, and is super light weight, about half of the weight of the brass TTA. Honestly for all the brass fetish thing happening - of which I too am guilty - it is much more pleasant using a lighter lens! Focus is super smooth and perfectly weighted. Changing aperture is a right royal pain in the keester. Interestingly, this lens does not vignette anywhere this much on film! Welcome, dear visitor!

Huss Posted July 8, 2022 Share #404 Posted July 8, 2022 On film, the Orion 15 shows far less vignette than on digital! Welcome, dear visitor!

timo01 Posted July 8, 2022 Share #405 Posted July 8, 2022 for the price the lens is really good. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the samples I’ve seen it can’t match the optics of the Leica, but for a couple of hundred bucks I think it makes a nice fun lens. Welcome, dear visitor!

That was just to show what it could look like with use. They mention this on their website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The centre is stunning, the corners not, but you don't look at the corners. If you stop it down you lose the unique look (IMHO). I'm waiting for my black version TTartisan, I hope it approaches the Summaron, I really miss it! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what one would use it and how you’d use it, it’ll get the job done. I thought about it too but my 28f2 Ultron II is so tiny and awesome I sort of got over it pretty quick. Yeah, if I was logical about my lens choices I only 'need' one 28mm, not the three that I have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head and heart choices... I do have the Matte Edition 28mm Summicron so it's not like I need another 28mm really. More to make the camera tiny, but I have some great pics from when I had the Summaron so I hope the TTArtisan is good too. At some point I want to try the Avenon/Kobalux 28mm, and the GR 28mm.
