Manual focus is actually preferred by many macro photographers for their work, as it gives you more absolute control and great precision than autofocus often does. There is plenty of room on the focus ring for up close work, though. I use my Voigtländer 65mm F2 Macro all the time for my product photography on my channel, so I’m very comfortable with the 60mm(ish) angle of view for macro. For Sony and Fuji, the crop factor of F1.5 means that this will behave like a 60mm lens on full frame, while on Canon (1.6x) it will be slightly longer (64mm), and on Micro 4/3rds (2x crop) it will be longer still (80mm). Different camera systems have different crop factors, each of which changes the effective behavior of the lens.

It is available in a wide variety of mounts, including the Sony E-mount (which I’m testing), Canon EF-M, Fuji X, and M4/3. This is the fourth TTArtisan lens that I’ve review, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised with a number of the TTArtisan lenses in terms of their optical performance, which is stellar considering the bargain price point of the lens. All-metal construction, full manual focus and aperture control, and no electronics. Like all of the TTArtisan lenses to this point, there are a few common denominators.

The TTArtisan 40mm F2.8 1:1 Macro (which we’ll call the TTArtisan 40M for brevity) is the second such 1:1 macro lens that has come across my desk in the past month. Macro seems to be the new thing among the smaller, boutique brands coming out of China.
