Fast Normal-Length Prime. The TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95’s versatile focal length makes it well-suited to just about any type of photography, particularly portraiture, landscapes, and street photography. Its extraordinary f/0.95 speed is excellent for shooting in the lowest of light, making it particularly useful for reportage. It also enables paper-thin depth of field for extreme subject/background isolation.

Advanced Optical Design. The eight-group/eleven-element optical system includes one large-diameter double-sided aspherical element, two extra-low dispersion elements, and eight high-refractive index elements that help produce sharpness, clarity, and accurate color rendering while suppressing color fringing and chromatic aberrations. A fourteen-blade diaphragm helps produce smooth, pleasing bokeh when you’re using shallow depth-of-field and selective-focus techniques.

Manual Focus. The manual-focus design allows for refined, precise adjustments, while the 2.3-foot minimum focusing distance lets you get in reasonably close.
