A look at the TTArtisan 100 f2.8 macro 2x tilt-shift lens

Good morning to all the good people who run this site. My name is Sergiy, in Radozhiva I write it as TSerg. Having started taking up photography from childhood, from the photographic background. For a significant part of my life, the camera was with me, both at work and in the future. Photography is a living without any expense, rather than expensively buried in the last hour.

I’ll give you a look at the TTArtisan 100 f2.8 macro 2x tilt-shift lens. Here's a look at the news about such a lens with a Canon RF mount. Also available for bayonet mounts   Sony E, Nikon Z, and fujifilm x.

This is an excursion into history.

Tilt-shift lenses have emerged as a cheaper alternative for small-format cameras to large-format gimbal cameras with slides, grips and supports. However, the price may be significant, as it often outweighs the performance of basic DSLR and mirrorless cameras. Tilt means nahil, shift means zsuv. In modern tilt-shift lenses, it is not only possible to change the angle, but also to rotate the lens around the optical center (by 90, 180°, whichever).

The shift lens appeared right away. In 1962 The Nippon Kogaku KK company released the first such lens, PC-Nikkor 3.5/35, which allows only the operation of optical weights in the transverse direction. PC stands for Perspective Control. In 1973 The Canon Corporation releases the Canon TS 35mm f/2.8 SSC lens for the FD mount, which is positioned as the world's first wide-angle lens with the ability to handle and remove. Born in 1991 Canon is already releasing three tilt-shift lenses – TS-E 24 mm f/3.5L, TS-E 45mm f/2.8 and TS-E 90mm f/2.8 with EF mount. In 2009 The same company produces the TS-E 17mm f/4 L lens, which at that time is the widest lens with a tilt-shift function. And in 2017 This company has three tilt-shift lenses with macro function: TS-E 50mm f/2.8L Macro, TS-E 90mm f/2.8L Macro and TS-E 135mm f/4L Macro (all three The increase becomes less than 0,5, which is not a full-fledged macro in the first place).

The Nikon company has also produced a number of lenses with the function of detachable or fixed-extension: PC-Nikkor 35mm 2.8, PC-Nikkor 28mm 4.0, PC-Nikkor 28mm 3.5, PC-Micro-Nikkor 85mm 2.8D, as well as more new ones: PC-Nikkor 19mm 4.0E ED ​​N, PC-E Nikkor 24mm 3.5D ED N, PC-E Nikkor 45mm 2.8D ED N, PC-E Micro-Nikkor 85mm 2.8D N.

In addition, shift and tilt-shift lenses were/are also produced under the brands Olympus, Leica, Schneider, Hartblei, Samyang, Minolta, Arsat, as well as current Chinese ones - Laowa, AstrHori, TTArtisan, 7Artisans. Such lenses were produced by other companies under other brands. However, I haven’t spent much time on the new list of shift/tilt-shift lenses. Chantingly, no one knows anything. Since such lenses themselves are highly specialized, applied, they do not gain great profit from photographers, in front of all amateurs, through their virtuousness.

In the USSR, the first and unified shift lens was produced by the Arsenal plant (Kiev) in 1990. I will call it “PKS Mir-67N” 2,8/35, which was later changed to “35 mm PKS Arsat-N 1: 2,8”. A look at this lens is available on the website Have fun. The value of the lens is not widespread, it is currently not released and you need to look for it on the secondary market.

Briefly about the main thing.

The TTArtisan 100 f2.8 macro 2x tilt-shift lens joins the galaxy of Chinese macro lenses that began to appear in this country in the last decade. This lens of announcements at the middle of the grass 2023r. and actually becoming the first tilt-shift lens with such a focal length with the possibility of a twofold increase in macrozoom.

The lens is unique in its kind. It combines in one housing a macro lens with double magnification, a lens with pan-tilt functions across the entire focusing range. I'm not familiar with any other brand or manufacturer that has a similar lens. Venus Optics Laowa broke up and released something similar – laowa 100mm f/2.8 FF II tilt-shift macro 1:1, but the increase is 1x.

As a whole tilt-shift lens, the lens is manual, without autofocus, has a metal body and an attractive new look, with a special angle, which allows you to see clear images from the open screen diaphragms.

In retrospect, I will call this lens the TTArtisan 100 f2.8 macro TS.

All photos and videos macro lenses  TTArtisan:

External appearance, equipment and folding.

The lens is supplied in a traditional TTArtisan black and gray box, in the middle of which there is the lens itself, a technical document in Chinese and English, and a simple plastic cold boot. The lens is not equipped with a lens hood or a case for transportation, which is typical for this Chinese camera. For the butt, the Chinese manufacturer Viltrox completes its lenses with both lens hoods and fabric covers.
The lens size with caps is 891 g, without them 836 g. The maximum diameter is 152 mm, the largest diameter is 72 mm. The entire body and lens mount are made of metal, but not made of metal (the body is not magnetic).

The lens fits the front and rear bayonet caps. The front cover is made of metal, without ribbing or snaps, on the outside. If the glue is glued in the middle, the fabric becomes stiff and does not fall off. The back is primarily a plastic bayonet type, without writing, and does not fall off on its own. The focusing ring is also metal, wider, with extended ribs. The color is black and matte.

About'The effect of good folding, its parts do not suffer from backlash and chitan. There is also a slight backlash in the folding mechanism. In your hands you feel like a good product. When the lens is focused does not change physical dimensions.

The front lens of the lens is retouched from the very edge. The lens has a green-violet tint. This outer surface is located adjacent to the front surface of the lens housing. So the front lens is not protected by any external factors, such as changes in light, debris, the photographer's fingers, or the surface falling to the bottom. Why, with such a design, the camera does not complete the lens with a simple threaded lens hood - I don’t understand.

Through the front lens, when focused well, one can see the movement of the lens unit in the middle of the body. It moves along three guide grooves. When focusing on ∞, the movement moves to the bayonet mount, on MDF – to the front lens. When focusing on the wide angle, a metal plate up to 4 mm wide is visible in the middle, which regulates the closing of the aperture. It is visible when focusing from 0,35 m to ∞. When prescribed by a physician the plate gives visible flashes, although it is stuffed with black farba. The insides of the front are filled with black tarpaulin, metal is not visible anywhere. However, the coating of the farbovane is not matte, but gives a shiny finish. This can negatively affect the contrast of photographs at medium and long focusing distances in the backlight or the main light.

The rear lens expands significantly below the surface of the mount. It collapses when focused: on MDF it is close to the bayonet mount, at middle distances a little moves forward, at ∞ it moves again to the bayonet mount. There is a greenish tint of light. The insides of the rear part of the lens are matted with black tarpaulin, which gives off glitter.

The virobnik does not speak about the saw-logozahist. There is a humic gorge ring on the bayonet mount, so we can safely state that there is no saw-to-logo in this lens. This mechanism will not allow you to protect it, leaving loose elements to be removed.

It is also necessary to note what is on the front part of the lens Several threaded inserts with M3 threads for fastening the cold lining for installing external lighting devices. Without focusing anywhere near the lens AstrHori 120mm F2.8 Macro 2X  (new ones have more such threaded inserts). The set comes with one such plastic little hood, which is scary to put any big or small light fixture on, because you are afraid that the hood will break. The cold shoe is secured before insertion with a single screw with M3 threads, on which there is a plastic disk for tightening. I would like there to be two, or even three, of such shims in a set of lenses.

The mechanism for tightening and wrapping is similar to that of a typical tilt-shift lens. Nhil is at ± 8°, i.e. At this point, the entire lens block of the lens can be mounted and raised above the surface of the matrix. The pressure changes by ± 6 millimeters. You can also rotate the lens 90° counterclockwise. The wrapper clicks through the skin 15°. Turn to give a singing optical effect simultaneously with vikoristannyam nahilu chi zsuwu. These indicators remain insignificant, and even in today’s tilt-shift lenses of wired transmitters, they can affect larger values. The clamps (clamps) of the mechanism must be small and not hand-held. In the first place, there is a fixator for the screw mechanism, which is like a lieutenant. It is important to open and close it from the bottom and on the side. In addition, the tripod plate can be damaged if the camera and lens are on a tripod. The mechanism failed me. On similar Canon lenses it is more reliable and handy. The locking mechanism is tight when the clamps are tightly clamped there is a slight backlash. The surfaces of the mechanism do not fit closely together, which means it is possible to cut the saw into the middle.

In addition, the mechanism is designed in such a way that when the clamps are loosened, it is important to smoothly lower or lift the lens using an additional adjustable wheel. the lens “bumps the nose”, through which you need to touch it with your hand. There is a similar shortcoming in the sealing mechanism, but it is not so critical because the lens wrap is not affected by moisture. In Canon tilt-shift lenses, which I have used (Canon TS-E 50 mm f/2.8L Macro, Canon TS-E 90 mm f/2.8L Macro), without noticing such a “fucking of the nose”, you can smoothly lower and raise the lens an essential regulating knob. This design flaw in this lens suffers the most when the suction-sliding mechanism is removed.

The lens mount is metal-plated and chrome-plated. However, the galvanic coating is not enough: the edges of the bayonet mounts do not touch the chrome coating, and the metal color of the copper is visible. The product does not mix with the liquid of the shots. The bayonet is attached to the body with 4 screws and a Torx slotted head. There are two red dots on the bayonet: one on the inner surface, the other on the side. Confusion with bayonet mount on Canon R system cameras, performance along the red dot on the inner side of the lens mount. Another red dot shows the position of the wrapping mechanism.

All marks and writings on the lens are engraved and covered with white, yellow or red paint. The inscription on the front cover is written in farboi, without engraving.

Aperture and focusing.

Diaphragm objective must be done manuallyWe will reveal it in a new ring. Its width should be 10 mm and it should be adjusted closer to the bayonet part of the lens. On the diaphragm ring there is a change in the diameter (length) of the lens. This is another such bite. The first rotation on the rings is focused. Apparently such a bite is not very strong, but on the surface behind it digital values ​​​​are applied with diaphragms.

Diaphragm the lens folds from 12 petals, how to form a round opening. The diaphragm blades are matte, do not give glare, and are not rounded enough. Even at aperture 5,6, if you are surprised by the bokeh, you can see that the rings often take on a rounded shape. The lens is adjusted manually using a ring. The diaphragm ring turns around with clattering noises. Aperture range 2,8–22: 2,8; 4; 5,5; 8; 11; 16; 22. Between the main aperture values ​​up to F11 there are intermediate ones, which are not marked on the body with numbers, but rather with white dots. Between F/11-F/16 and F/16-F/22 there is no intermediate value.

The diaphragm ring wraps around when applying to a new singing sound, as on me, it’s usually hard to finish. Vipadkovo yogo destroy impossibly. Changing apertures is required for most lenses directly: from right to left.

I would like such a lens to have an automatic aperture, which could be installed from a camera, as, for example, it has a place in Canon tilt-shift lenses. And even better, so that it could be installed either with a ring on it or from the camera. It would not be much easier to save the work of the camera operator, and it would give the ability to automatically assign aperture values ​​to the frame metadata.

Also on the lens present glibini badges Sharp image for aperture values ​​22, 11, 8, 4.

Focusing on sharpness (focus) operates in any lens manually, etc. the lens is manual. The focusing ring is located in the front part. It is metal, ribbed, and beveled: on the larger diameter part there is clearly no ribs, on the smaller one, which is smooth, covered with chervonoy porcelain - enhancement factor: 1:2; 3:4; 1:1; 5:4; 3:2 and 2:1; The values ​​are in feet (yellow color) and in meters (white color). Ring focusing too springy, for the cob yogo wrapper it is necessary to apply the song of zusilla. In addition, after the destruction of the place, the wrapper is smooth, without any ripples, and rubs in the middle. As for me, it is too tight for a macro lens, which is especially negative when focusing on minimal distances. This lens appeared from the very outer wrappings of the focusing ring of all that I had not seen or been in use in the past. Ideally, with such a tight focusing ring, the macro rail should be tilted for precise positioning in the macro range. If you need to turn the ring for a long time, there you go little bits of fingers, the pads are so moving that they “get tired”. This is despite the fact that the fingers of my hand are not thin and tendentious. It is possible to focus through a bite on the cob of the ring, where wooliness is felt on the cob of the lateral ribs. It would be better if the whole ring was gummed, as, for example, with most Canon lenses in a metal case.

Carelessly beat focus on what lens is it practical? not possible, you need to try hard.

Focusing at the lens internal, t.t. When you scroll the sharpness adjustment ring, it does not change its current dimensions, no part of the body is visible, like, for example, a macro lens Sigma 70mm 1:2.8 DG MACRO. The front lens and the slot for light filters do not wrap around when focusing. The focusing ring in the lens rotates approximately 120 degrees at the primary direction. Most of the wrapping ring falls on a distance from MDF up to 1 meter, to decide the wrapping range should be less than 20°. Nayavny marked flight for inconsistency.

Minimum focusing distance This lens is only 0,25 m wide. The working stand on MDF is 7 cm wide. This is critical for picking up loose lumps. Not a single snowstorm in the summer warmth will allow you to bring the lens so close to you. The ratio on MDF is 2:1. With an increase of 1:1, the front lens in front of the subject of the shot expands at a distance of about 13 cm.

Lens on the spot breath of focus, t.t. change kuta look at the hour of focus, so titles Focus breathing. This is typical for all macro-objectives and is not excluded. By the way, it would be surprising that such a cheap (by current hour) lens wouldn’t be a big deal. When focusing the MDF lens to an extreme degree, the field of view increases regardless of the aperture value. In fact, when photographing in the macro range, it infuses excess water when it stagnates bracketing focus for further stacking (combining several photographs by increasing the depth of sharpness). Visual focus loss is most noticeable through the camera display at distances up to 3 meters.

Photographic lens brilliance.

Sharpness. The TTArtisan 100 f2.8 macro TS lens is sharp in the center with an open aperture. At the edges and corners of the frame at f 2,8 the sharpness is sharper. You don’t even notice when you look at the picture with a slight increase in intensity and are silently aware of the drop in sharpness. By closing the aperture up to 4, the result will be brighter. At F5,6, as on me, the lens is sharp across the entire field.

When photographing in the macro range with a larger ratio of 1:1 at F2.8 in the center of the frame, the sharpness is pleasant, deepening at the edges and corners. With further aperture it becomes brighter and reaches its peak, in my opinion, at F8-11. Then the diffraction effect on sharpness begins to appear. At F16, diffraction can be increased by a significant increase. And from the legacy of diffraction at F22 when photographing in the macro range, it is already visible without any increase in the image. Microcontrast drops even at F16.

When photographed at 2:1, this lens has the sharpest sharpness at apertures of 5,6-8. This also confirms the common idea among many modern macrographers that in macro photography, with an increase of 2:1 and more after aperture 5,6, distortion begins to appear in sharpness. Here it is approximately the same, but for this it is necessary to look at photographs of the same size. It’s not for nothing that makrushniks take photographs with such large “suvori” bracketing focus at F 4-5,6.

In the middle lens range, the sharpest image is seen at F 5,6-8.

When photographing at a distance and close to it, the sharpness should be kept at F 8-11. At 2,8-4 won mensch, at 5,6 won. At F16-22 it is already noticeable that there is a change in diffraction and a decrease in microcontrast.

In my example, the lens of the present flight for infinity. This is nothing new for metal manual lenses. It is insignificant, but not obvious, and you need to monitor the sharpness on the viewer or display. Skoda, ale maєmo those scho maєmo.

How can you take portraits with it? In principle, you can, damn it, people, because you won’t be able to get the meat out of the meat. I want everything to be an acquired taste. Who deserves such portraits, in which all the features of a person’s skin are visible. I wouldn’t have photographed portraits with it, since it was a highly specialized macro lens.

In case of extreme stagnation, the darkening of the cutives (vintaging) present at F2,8-5,6. The difference is insignificant, it won’t be visible on the camera monitor. When you choose the right angle at F2,8, the pressure is weaker, but if you are surprised when it is higher, then you can find out. Be careful at F4-5,6 with a vikoristan zsuvu and at a maximum value, the appearance of ice is marked by darkening of the edges of the cut. It’s worth noting that you’re joking about him, photographing the arch of a white paper and looking at the photo then at 100≥% increase. At smaller aperture values, vignette is not prevented. Please note that the lens covers a significantly larger area than the full-frame sensor. Before speech, when you get tired, the size of the captured object in the macro range changes.

Distortion. The presence of distortion is not marked, or it is so insignificant that it is not noticeable and can be ignored, especially when shooting macro.

Chromatic aberrations  insignificant and unimportant. The noise is minimal with an open aperture, even up to F5,6, but sometimes appears when the aperture is up to 5,6. Beware of the insignificant  fringing (reinforcement of contrasting elements with a zone of sharpness in violet or green colors), especially with heavy replacement of the front lens of the lens.

Bokeh. TTArtisan 100 f2.8 macro TS can be seen in the picture to achieve a pleasant distribution area. This is discussed significant number of diaphragm pellets. Prote, even at F5,6 and further away, irregularities are visible in the circles of the blur zone. When aperture is applied at the edges and in the corners, the circles of the bokeh do not take on the shape of “lemons”, although they do not lose their perfectly round shape. The circles in the side are non-uniform, there are doubles and edgings along the edges on contrasting objects. Ale mugs in the side are not for everyone, not everyone likes the stench. This lens does not produce an oily dispersion near the blur zone. At open and similar apertures, the lens blurs the background decently, but on MDF it blurs the background evenly. At medium distances this no longer manifests itself as much. If the background is too linear, then the layout loses uniformity, contour transitions appear, and the bokeh can become “brusque.” In principle, all macro lenses, with rare exceptions, like to have a uniform background, so that they are more or less uniform, rather than stringy.

Before front and back light objective sensitive. I would say that the lens is more sensitive to changes that are placed on its surface under the sharp coats. I couldn’t catch the colorful “hares of fun”, even though I tried hard. Be careful not to reduce the contrast on part of the picture or paint part of the image in one color with backlighting. In the dark light, you can see noticeable white highlights or dark tan with a suitable contrast (in some cases with magenta stains) or tanned zones of natural illumination. Contrast during immediate changes in the lens decreases due to the fact that the bright spots are not created. Using a polarizing filter (I used Marumi Circular PL) will completely change this.

Since the function of pain can be used only in macrozooms, as well as in other forms, then for the function of the heart I do not know of any special stagnation. With such a focal point, stand in the same architectural sense. You can, however, photograph panoramas, adding 12-13% of the area of ​​the image on the right to the original photo. Or you can photograph a person in a mirror so that the camera does not spoil the view in the field. T.t. I want to say that the shift function of this lens may be incomplete, because it is important for it to be stagnant at such a focal length.

In photo editors, I don’t know the profile of this lens. Possibly shukav disrespectfully or not in quiet programs.

Photos attached are added below. All images are taken from Canon RP and R8 mirrorless cameras (Full Frame CMOS sensor 24 MP), partly with a Raynox DCR-250 macro attachment and a circular polarization filter.

My Dosvid Vikoristannya

I’ll tell you frankly, my objective expressed ambiguity – both I succeeded and I didn’t deserve it. Let me take photographs at 2:1 magnification. And it is possible to work not only in the minds of the place, but also in nature (even with singing minds). In the field (forest) it is important to take photographs without a tripod or a monopod with a good head or a macro rack. When focusing on the MDF or close to it, the front lens block moves forward and the camera with the lens does not move forward. Not caring about those who don’t reach up to a kilogram for the bag, actively photographing all day long, it’s important to go out with him. After intensive lifting, the macro lasts for a year or two per hand, you will need finger straps. It is possible that through the ribbed metal ring, focusing with sufficiently sharp ribs, the pads of the fingers begin to feel discomfort. Together with this camera, which has a tripod foot and a rubberized focusing ring, I can take it by hand in the same mind much longer. That’s why I always take with me a monopod with a pistol-type head or a tripod with macrorails, but in the open air it’s not very handy. Prote, with a short-circuit mechanism, a tripod is simply necessary. Unfortunately, the lens does not have a tripod foot or a groove for mounting it. For example, the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 Tilt-shift 1x Macro lens can be mounted on a tripod base.

What we’re talking about is that this lens is not for the open air, but rather for the studio or other location, so it’s easier to take out different kinds of objects, incl. As much as possible, carry out fussing, technical mining, or take away the odds behind stacking.

It is practical to hold it by hand at a 2:1 scale, but it is not easy to achieve tight focusing and a very small depth of sharpness. The good news is that the focus ring is wide, and today's mirrorless cameras have greater focus picking.

Some lenses are not equipped with any kind of lens hood, but sensitive to the backlight and especially bright bright light, I choose a Chinese shallow metal lens hood (its height is 2 cm), which is obvious in my arsenal. On the front part there is a split that allows you to twist the lid and filter Ø72 mm. To protect the brightness of this lens, you need a thick lens hood, 6-8 cm deep. When placing the lens hood next to a Canon 70-200 lens, the coverage is 8 cm. The darkening along the edges does not work, but it’s a bad idea.

Next to this lens is the Raynox DCR-250 macro attachment, where you can achieve a magnification ratio of up to 3:1.

To transfer the lens, it’s important to get some kind of stale cover or a cover, even if it’s made of fabric.

Cost.

The lens is as simple as anything you can get on Aliexpress. There, the price ranges between $390-490 depending on the seller. On the worldwide flea market, the price for the hour of writing starts at $370. In Ukrainian online stores they are practically on sale every day. At the time of writing, I looked at the knowledge of yogi on one site, where yogo cost was around $700.

Results.

The lens is specific not for every amateur, but for a photographer who knows what tasks he needs or for an amateur who wants to master the techniques of using a tilt-shift lens. The effect of this function is not as pronounced as with the same lenses with a smaller focal length (the larger the focal length, the smaller the gain in depth of sharpness when stopped) nahilu). It cannot be described as an everyday macro lens, but rather an applied one. Alas, there are simply no analogues of leading photo brands in the market (out of the box). For example, recently there were announcements and releases of the Laowa 100 mm f/2,8 tilt-shift 1x macro lens, which is the most similar to this one, costs $1249, etc. in trichy dear.

The lens deserves a high positive rating as a useful clear macro lens and a useful tool for experiments, although it is not ergonomic and handy enough.

Main advantages.

1. The lens contains both the macro-possibility and the possibility of a sharp-edged rotation of a completely optical weight.
2. Low price compared to similar tilt-shift lenses from leading photo market brands.
3. Possibility of 2-fold increase when photographing on MDF.
4. There are threaded sockets in the front part for fastening the cold boot under additional lightening.
5. 12 diaphragm diaphragms, which allow the receiving baby to reach the unsharpness zone.
6. Internal focusing, the lens does not change its dimensions when focusing.
7. The presence of the GRZP scale, focusing distance and magnification factor.
8. Metal body and mount.
9. The front part of the lens does not wrap around when focusing.
10. A ring of diaphragms with clicks and sounds.
11. The lens wraps around its weight 90° with clicks, allowing you to rotate the lens to the desired position intuitively.

 

The main shortcomings.

1. The focusing ring is not tighter, as it needs to be tighter for precise positioning when focusing and is not adjusted.
2. Very poor equipment.
3. Sensitivity to backlight and backlight.
4. Lack of matting on the inside of the lens on the side of the front lens.
5. Minor play in the folding mechanism.
6. The mechanism of suction-squeezing itself is not a manual control knob and proportions of fixation.
7. The presence of a tripod leg with a significant vase and unbalance, as well as the groove for its installation.
8. The presence of electronic diaphragms and contact pads for exchanging information with the camera.
9.  The focusing range is unevenly distributed and there is a tendency to overshoot.
10. The lens wraps around its weight by just 90°.

 

Thank you to everyone who has read this review.
