TTArtisan vintage manual lenses - The holy trinity for the Fujifilm X-Series

TTArtisan has only been around since 2019, but in those two years they've created quite a buzz with their affordable, manual fixed-focus lenses. At first there were only M-mount lenses, but in the meantime there are also APS-C lenses with a mount for Fujifilm X-series cameras. I took a closer look at the three small lenses with focal lengths of 17mm, 35mm and 50mm. Mind you - these three fast lenses cost less than 250 USD - together! My expectations were therefore not very high - but I was proved wrong. The Chinese can also deliver quality! But let's take things one step at a time.

Although this is only a short test, I can already say: You can't go wrong with these prime lenses from TTArtisan at this price - and manual focusing is much more fun anyway!
