TTArtisan’s AF 23mm f/1.8 Lens For Sony and Nikon

TTArtisan has expanded its AF 23mm f/1.8 APS-C lens lineup to include Sony E and Nikon Z mounts, following the Fujifilm X version released earlier this year. While the Sony and Nikon models have slightly different exterior styling, all three share the same basic footprint and optical design, a compact autofocus prime that delivers a 35mm-equivalent field of view on APS-C cameras. The lens relies on an STM stepping motor for autofocus, which should help keep focusing quick and reasonably quiet for both stills and videos. The minimum focusing distance is 300 mm (11.8 inches) and the f/1.8 aperture gives enough light for indoor work or shallow-depth-of-field shots.

Inside, the optical formula is identical across all mounts, built around 11 elements in nine groups. TTArtisan includes one high-index element and two extra-low-dispersion elements, meant to manage chromatic aberrations and maintain sharpness across the frame. A nine-blade diaphragm shapes the bokeh, and the front of the lens takes standard 52mm filters, making it easy to pair with common ND or polarizing filters. The body is made from aviation-grade aluminium, and the entire lens weighs 221 grams.

Each version also includes TTArtisan’s now-familiar USB-C firmware update system hidden in the rear lens cap instead of on the lens itself. The company positions it as a general-purpose lens for everyday shooting, including travel, street, and portraits. Performance expectations should be similar across all three mounts since TTArtisan kept the optical and autofocus design unchanged. The lens is available for Sony E, Nikon Z, and Fujifilm X mounts at a price of $127.
