Devaprem Posted November 22, 2022 Share #1 Posted November 22, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello. I've just received this lens and have tried it out this morning. Images are very good for the (£64) price but I am concerned about the mount. The lens is quite hard to take on and off the camera. Of course, some of that is due to it's size but it is very stiff when I turn it to engage or disengage it from from the camera body. I also think I now see some slight scratching on the mount flange on the camera body but am not sure. Has anyone on this forum experienced this problem with this or other of the TTArtisan range of lenses? Any comments welcome🙂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wda Posted November 22, 2022 Share #2 Posted November 22, 2022 No experience of the lens, but, for the price, tolerances might not be to Leica standards. I would be very careful not to damage your camera. I would return it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devaprem Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share #3 Posted November 22, 2022 Thanks. I'm waiting to hear back from the supplier about the problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My M3 DS used to be like that in the past but it was stiff at mounting and unmounting all my lenses on it. I would try other lenses to be sure but in the meantime i would refrain from using this lens as a precaution. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommonego@gmail.com Posted November 22, 2022 Share #6 Posted November 22, 2022 I bought a 35mm f1.4 TTArtisan, the mount was very loose, the lens literarly shook on the mount. I contacted TTArtisan and in 2 weeks I had 2 mounts and the proper screw driver in the mail. I replaced the mount and it was fine, I did wonder if the second mount would have been tight. I think TTArtisan does have issues with the mounts on their cheap lens line. The lens was not bad just no comparison to my 35 Zeiss f2.8 or 35 preasph Summilux. Since it cost $83 it is not resellable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Strangways Posted November 24, 2022 Share #8 Posted November 24, 2022 I just got my 25mm f/2 yesterday, and it mounts and dismounts smoothly from my T. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devaprem Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share #9 Posted December 2, 2022 Thanks, Stephen. I'm still in discussion with TTArtisan about this. Update to follow when news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesroma72 Posted December 22, 2022 Share #10 Posted December 22, 2022 I have had that lens for 3 months, and I have not had any problems with my T, I think it's great for the price, only 65€ in Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marac Posted December 23, 2022 Share #11 Posted December 23, 2022 Just ordered it for delivery tomorrow for my CL. The only other TTArtisan lens I used was a while ago so hopefully they have improved a bit ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marac Posted January 8, 2023 Share #12 Posted January 8, 2023 The Len’s is a great size and build is very good. The focus is firm, image quality reminds me of my old Summicron 35. Fits in my pocket, and to be quite Frank, it’s the best £65 I’ve spent in a long time, it has its flaws but I don’t really mind, the performance is good enough for me and I have really enjoyed making a new friend.

Dopaco Posted January 8, 2023 Share #13 Posted January 8, 2023 It is small and it looks cute. For that price I wouldn't mind buying one. It is best to see a photo taken with that objective, upload one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devaprem Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share #14 Posted January 23, 2023 I decided to return the lens because of the difficulty taking it off and putting it on. The first 3rd of the rotation when removing it was very stiff indeed. Thanks again to everyone for your posts on this thread that I started. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettWayne Posted January 24, 2023 Share #15 Posted January 24, 2023 I want to buy this lens but it doesn’t come in a silver version to match my CL. I’m sure that would lead to excessive chromatic aberration and flaring due to the poor aesthetics. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markielinhart Posted February 17, 2024 Share #16 Posted February 17, 2024 You could try unscrewing the L plate and then re-screw it back carefully. I’ve done it before with tricky lens adaptors with some success…✌️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj55 Posted February 18, 2024 Share #17 Posted February 18, 2024 I have this lens on my TL2 and no problem with (un)mounting it. For me it is a fun lens to make the TL2 "portable" 😉 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
markielinhart Posted February 23, 2024 Share #18 Posted February 23, 2024 This little lens certainly looks interesting. I have a recently acquired M8 and was wondering how an APSC lens like this would work via an L to M adaptor bearing in mind the crop factor of the M8… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
