SYOPTIC 50MM 1.1 Review by Bastian

Flare problems seem to be a general common weakness for these relatively cheap lenses - we see that in as good as all reviews for all lenses, be it TTArtisan, 7Artisan or Syoptic, slow ( like the TT 28/5.6 ) and fast ( like the 50/1.1 ). Never the less, it's just one characteristic that you have to remember and consider when shooting.
I have still ordered one - I was on the fence for a TTA 50/1.4 but since I do have a Planar I was thinking the TT might be too close and the 1.1 seemed more of a different lense.
