TTArtisan’s 40mm f/2 Lens For L-Mount

credits: TTArtisan

TTArtisan’s compact AF 40mm f/2 lens, previously released for Sony E and Nikon Z, is now officially available for L-mount cameras as well. At 40mm, the lens sits in between the classic 35mm and 50mm fields of view, offering a slightly wider but still very natural perspective that works well for almost everything.

The optical construction includes nine elements in six groups, with two high-index elements, an extra-low-dispersion glass, and an aspherical piece to help keep chromatic aberrations under control. Aperture runs from f/2 to f/16 with seven blades, and there’s a clicked aperture ring for those who like manual adjustment. Autofocus is driven by a stepping motor with a lead screw drive, which keeps operation smooth and quiet enough to suit video work as well as stills. Close focusing down to 0.4 meters adds a bit of flexibility for tighter compositions, and the lens has a 52mm filter thread.

Physically, the lens sticks to TTArtisan’s usual minimal, all-metal build. It weighs 167 grams, measures 44mm long, and has a 61mm diameter. There is no weather sealing and no built-in stabilisation, though paired with an IBIS-equipped camera it should be steady enough for most shooting situations. The TTArtisan AF 40mm f/2 is priced at $168.
