TTartisan 90mm f/1.25 lens for hasselblad x-mount cameras?

[Jobe]

Hi there,

I was trawling the internet this morning and came across this lens. I there are only a small amount of reviews and very basic too, so I was wondering if anyone on PP had any first hand encounters with it?

I know it's a manual focus lens (I shoot all my flower work manual focus anyhoo) and that I would have to use the electronic shutter too, but wondered if the end results were any good?


Anyone using one?

Found a stockist in the UK, but wanted some feedback before buying one.


Thanks,


Paul

I have a couple of good FB friends that use TTartisan lenses, and the 90mm, in particular. Both say it is a decent lens for the money, but be advised that it will create some vignetting on a Hasselblad sensor. But for a small amount of disposable money, it sounds like it would be a fun lens to play with.

I've got a bunch of TTartisan leica lenses and nobody (seriously nobody) can tell them from Leica glass. The 50 1.4 and the 35 1.4 are amazing. The downside of this one (which I haven't used) is that you'd have to use the crappy electronic shutter -- which doesn't mean you shouldn't get this lens, BUT, I'd say if you do get it, don't get it in the hasselblad mount, get it in a mount you can use with another camera (like if you've got a Leica, get it in the leica mount) and then use it with an adapter.

Because Ferrari doesn't make a 90mm f1.25? The object here is to get good photos, not spend the most money. If someone wins the race with Chinese tires that's all that matters.

I think a HC 100/2.2 and the 0,7 Converter is the better choice.

HC 100/2.2

that's literally ten times the price though.

 

[Doc Steel]

no, HC100 in used but perfect condition around €1200,- + conv new €900.
Thats a 80mm/1.7 for a total of €2100.
only disadvantage is its a lot larger and heavier.
