Decent for amateur portraits and subject isolation
I have a GX85 and purchased this lens since I wanted to practice with manual focus and I thought it might be and inexpensive option for taking portrait of the kids every so often. For those purposes, the TTartisan 50mm f1.2 is a decent option.Contrary to some reviews I've seen, this lens is not what I would consider sharp. However, it still produces more than acceptable results when wide open, particularly in the center of the image. The edges aren't great, and the corners are worse. If you stop it down, things improve a bit, but after about f 2.8 I didn't notice much further improvement. While the corners become more acceptable, they never get completely sharp. I think my expectations were set incorrectly by other reviews (even for the APS-C version) which made it sound like it was a "razor sharp" which this lens is definitely not.Quality control may not be great. The first copy I received was really bad in one of the corners, and the replacement had what looks like a small defect in the coating. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to affect the photos in any noticeable way. Quality control aside, I have no complaints on the overall construction which is all metal and heavy. The bad copy had a little trouble locking onto the lens mount, but the replacement was as good as the Panasonic lenses I have. The aperture ring has a nice click and the focus ring is smooth and easy to use even with gloves. With the shallow depth of field, focusing can be a little touchy and I think the lens could benefit from a larger throw. The focus scale is in the general ballpark, but it doesn't seem accurate enough to rely on. Both lenses focused a little past infinity at the infinity marking. It comes with a TTartisan branded metal screw on lens cap and a generic rear lens cap.At first, I was a little disappointed because other reviews made it sound like this lens was sharper than it was. After using it for a little while, I determined I like the lens for what it is. It does have a much shallower depth of field than any other lens I have and the out of focus area is nice and smooth. My only other prime (the Panasonic 25mm 1.8) is a lot more busy/distracting. I think bokeh balls are nice wide open, but they get a little strange shaped (almost like octagons) as you stop the lens down. Overall, you can still get some very nice shots and for someone who isn't going to buy an expensive lens just for portraits this gives me a different look than the kit telephoto zoom.At full price I'm not sure I'd recommend this lens. The Panasonic kit 45-150mm zoom can be regularly had for under $150 which isn't much more. The Panasonic is fully automatic, sharper at 50mm, and a much better all around lens that can get enough separation to take the occasional portrait of a family member. If you are OK with used lenses, I think the Olympus 45mm can be found used for only about $100 more than this lens at full price. If you can grab this lens on sale though, I think it's a much more compelling option. If you understand the limitations of this lens and are interested in what it does do well then even at full price it's a decent option.The attached photos are straight of camera without editing.

The clarity and sharpness of this lens is amazing! Solid metal body, clicky aperture ring and smooth focus ring, could not go wrong.

Used it on a Canon R50 and the shots are phenomenal. Great in low light as well.

My only ick about it is the lens cap being a metal screw on. Annoying screech, and takes too much time to remove when in a hurry to capture something. May need to purchase a quick release lens cap separate.

Pretty damn sharp lens for $125. I use it with my XH1 and it’s a lot of fun. The focus ring is smooth and has a nice resistance to it. Bokeh is nice. Can’t really beat it for the price. It doesn’t compare to my Zeiss Loxia’s but that’s not what I got it for.

While the corners become more acceptable, they never get completely sharp. I think my expectations were set incorrectly by other reviews (even for the APS-C version) which made it sound like it was a "razor sharp" which this lens is definitely not.

Quality control may not be great. The first copy I received was really bad in one of the corners, and the replacement had what looks like a small defect in the coating. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to affect the photos in any noticeable way. Quality control aside, I have no complaints on the overall construction which is all metal and heavy. The bad copy had a little trouble locking onto the lens mount, but the replacement was as good as the Panasonic lenses I have. The aperture ring has a nice click and the focus ring is smooth and easy to use even with gloves. With the shallow depth of field, focusing can be a little touchy and I think the lens could benefit from a larger throw. The focus scale is in the general ballpark, but it doesn't seem accurate enough to rely on. Both lenses focused a little past infinity at the infinity marking. It comes with a TTartisan branded metal screw on lens cap and a generic rear lens cap.

At first, I was a little disappointed because other reviews made it sound like this lens was sharper than it was. After using it for a little while, I determined I like the lens for what it is. It does have a much shallower depth of field than any other lens I have and the out of focus area is nice and smooth. My only other prime (the Panasonic 25mm 1.8) is a lot more busy/distracting. I think bokeh balls are nice wide open, but they get a little strange shaped (almost like octagons) as you stop the lens down. Overall, you can still get some very nice shots and for someone who isn't going to buy an expensive lens just for portraits this gives me a different look than the kit telephoto zoom.

At full price I'm not sure I'd recommend this lens. The Panasonic kit 45-150mm zoom can be regularly had for under $150 which isn't much more. The Panasonic is fully automatic, sharper at 50mm, and a much better all around lens that can get enough separation to take the occasional portrait of a family member. If you are OK with used lenses, I think the Olympus 45mm can be found used for only about $100 more than this lens at full price. If you can grab this lens on sale though, I think it's a much more compelling option. If you understand the limitations of this lens and are interested in what it does do well then even at full price it's a decent option.

Use this little lens with my Leica TL2. Reasonably sharp. Nice bokeh. Quality construction. Nice physical indents for the lens f-stop. Screw in lens cap provided. Looks and performs well with my Leica. Also comes with a nice lens case.
Important! This is a manual focus lens.
Overall really great lens. Recommended.

I loved this lens at first, great image quality.
However I've owned this less than a year, and whatever grease or lubricant used for the aperature blades has started running onto the blades. This is going to cause issues when taking photos and possibly damage the lens, I did reach out to tt artisan service department. Never received a resolution, beware of this company if you experience a defect. I have vintage lenses from the 70's that are still holding up, this one hasn't lasted a year.

The build quality is fantastic, the lens is very heavy though. It is not too big and the silver goes well with my white zve10. There is some vignetting at the corners but if you can get the focus right the quality if photos is pretty decent. I bought it to try and return it but im so impressed that I will be keeping it 😁👍🏼

By far, manual focus and a good time are to be had with this. Its just fun, you get warmer shots, more lively shots that show more character. Crisp center of focus if you want it. Super sharp. my fuji lenses are great dont get me wrong but this is a banger for the price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Soft Focus
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 20, 2023
Size: M4/3 mount*: BlackVerified Purchase
I can’t begin to tell you how disappointed I am with this lens. Having looked at numerous Artisans lenses from both companies, I plumped for this one considering the wide aperture and decent reviews. What a disappointment it turned out to be.
I started taking shots at f1.2 which were absolutely dire, then f2.8. Quickly on to f8, nothing was acceptable as far as being sharp is concerned. The colours were quite good, but other than that forget it. I’m losing patience now with TT, I have 7 Artisan lenses and they aren’t this bad.
It’s a solid lens, quite weighty, nice construction but totally let down by poor optics. I was hoping for better.

Eine Phantastische kleine Linse, mit einem sehr schönen retro Look, die Spaß macht und entschleunigt. Dieses Objektiv erzeugt Bilder die nicht unter dem verbreiteten Mainstream Wunsch glatt gebügelt und messerscharf fallen. Wer sich gerne Zeit bei der Bildgestaltung lassen möchte, dem Motiv einen gewissen Retro/Lost/Mystery/Foggy/Flat Look geben möchte sollte zugreifen.
