TTArtisan 100mm f/2.8 Lens for M42

Before you delve into the world of photography, immerse yourself in the unique experience offered by the TTArtisan 100mm F 2.8 lens. This lens is renowned for its distinctive bokeh effect, a feature that sets it apart from the crowd. The bokeh produced by this lens is not just beautiful, but also textured, with bright edges surrounding each bokeh ball, creating a visually stunning result. Unlike contemporary lenses that produce a creamy smooth bokeh, the TTArtisan 100mm f 2.8 lens brings to life the rare soap bubble bokeh effect. This effect is characterized by bokeh balls with bright edges around their perimeters, adding an extra layer of depth and intrigue to your photographs.

The TTArtisan 100mm f 2.8 lens is not just about creating artistic bokeh effects. It also offers balanced sharpness, making it an ideal choice for capturing breathtaking nature and portrait photography. This lens is a full-frame lens with a large image circle that can almost cover the medium format. When used on APS-C or Full-frame cameras, it retains the superior quality part of the large image circle. And when used on medium format cameras, the subtle vignetting adds an artistic touch to your work. Designed for the M42 mount, the TTArtisan 100mm f 2.8 lens can be adapted to fit any mount of your choice with the help of an adapter ring.

The lens body is crafted from aviation-grade aluminum with an anodized surface, ensuring durability and a premium feel. The lens features a clicked aperture, allowing you to switch settings without needing to look at the lens, a particularly useful feature when shooting in low light conditions. The retro focus ring is ergonomically designed to fit your finger comfortably, enhancing your shooting experience. Please note that the lens's focal length is 100mm, but due to the absence of a 100mm frameline in the Leica M camera, this lens triggers a 90mm framing.

This detail can be ignored if you're using an adapter to use this lens on a non-Leica M camera. Lastly, it's important to note that the centerline of the thread mount lens may not align with the centerline of the camera. This is a normal occurrence and does not impact the lens's functionality. If you need an adapter ring to use this lens, we recommend using an adapter with a centerline adjustment function.
