Recently I wanted to buy a new lens for my Z50. My friend recommended the brand TTARTISAN to me. I'm not very familiar with it. I only know that it's a Chinese lens brand. I roughly looked at its official websites and I think the price of TTARTISAN is very reasonable.
I'm particularly interested in their 7.5mm F2 fisheye lens. If anyone has used it, could you share your experience with me? Or are there any other lenses from this brand you would recommend?
I've owned a few of their manual lenses. By and large they're decent to good optically, but have fairly mediocre coatings leading to some interesting lens flare. Build quality is pretty good to excellent.
Given the price (especially with the sale on right now), I wouldn't hesitate to buy more of them.
Thank you for your reply. Reading your comment I was more interested in it. One of the common factors attract us is the price. Such a favorable price coupled with excellent quality, wow maybe it is sufficient for me to overcome the hesitation of purchasing a new brand.
Do you have any particularly good lenses you could recommend to me, among you have used. Thanks a lot.
I own the TTArtisan 75/1.5 in M42 mount, which is a copy of an old Zeiss lens. I have adapted it to my Nikon Z5II. It’s bulky (with the adapter attached), unwieldy, manual focus, and optically flawed in very many ways, but it has the famous swirly bokeh effect that this lens design is known for and I have taken some pretty cool photos with it. Good build quality.
I like the TTA 50mm f/2 (MF but covers the FF image circle; I have the one for fuji and works well on my Z7 with an adapter) and the 75mm f/2 (AF, FF).

The 50mm is very practical. It's on my shopping list. Thank you for your recommendation.
