Available in black or silver, the TTArtisan 23mm f/1.4 combines a compact form factor with a distinctive retro-inspired design. Designed for mirrorless cameras, this manual focus prime lens delivers a full-frame equivalent focal length of 50mm, making it a versatile choice for portraits, street photography, everyday shooting, and creative storytelling.
The bright f/1.4 maximum aperture performs well in low-light conditions and provides excellent control over depth of field, helping you isolate subjects with attractive background separation. Its manual focus operation offers precise control for photographers who prefer a more deliberate shooting experience, while the dedicated aperture ring delivers tactile exposure adjustments directly on the lens.
Constructed with eight elements in six groups, including one low-dispersion element and three high-index elements, the lens is designed to minimise aberrations while maintaining sharpness, contrast, and colour accuracy throughout the frame.

The 23mm focal length delivers a natural perspective equivalent to a 50mm lens on a full-frame camera, making it suitable for a wide range of photographic subjects without feeling too wide or too tight.
The large maximum aperture allows more light to reach the sensor, helping when shooting in dim environments while also enabling shallow depth of field effects and selective focus techniques.
Manual focusing provides precise control over composition and focus placement, particularly useful for street photography, portraits, and creative work.
The lens incorporates one low-dispersion element and three high-index elements to help reduce optical aberrations and maintain image quality, colour accuracy, and sharpness.
A rounded 10-blade diaphragm contributes to smooth, natural-looking out-of-focus areas, producing pleasing background blur when shooting at wider apertures.
The TTArtisan 23mm f/1.4 offers a classic focal length, fast aperture, and fully manual shooting experience in a compact, stylish package. Its combination of low-light capability, subject isolation, and tactile controls makes it an appealing option for photographers who value creative control and a traditional approach to image-making.
