TTArtisan has introduced two new APS‑C lenses aimed at mirrorless shooters: the AF 17mm f/1.8 Air and a special silver edition of the 7.5mm f/2 fisheye. Together, they expand TTArtisan’s growing lineup of compact, affordable optics for Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and Micro Four Thirds mounts.
TTArtisan AF 17mm f/1.8 Air
The AF 17mm f/1.8 Air is designed as a lightweight everyday prime. Weighing just 161g, it offers a 25mm full‑frame equivalent focal length with an 81° angle of view — versatile for street, travel, and portrait photography. The lens features a large f/1.8 aperture for low‑light shooting and shallow depth of field, plus a minimum focusing distance of 0.18m for close‑up detail.
Inside, the optical design uses 14 elements in 10 groups, supported by a stepping motor autofocus system for smooth, silent operation in both photo and video. The sleek all‑metal body emphasizes portability and durability, making it a practical choice for APS‑C shooters who want a fast, compact prime.
At a launch price of $148, it competes directly with other budget wide‑angle primes, and APS‑C users may compare it against options like the Sigma 15mm f/1.4 DC Contemporary. For those comparing options, Amazon search results and B&H Photo listings provide current availability.
TTArtisan 7.5mm f/2 Fisheye Silver Edition
The second announcement is a special silver edition of the 7.5mm f/2 fisheye lens. Covering APS‑C sensors with a dramatic 180° ultra‑wide angle, it produces circular fisheye images on full‑frame bodies. The lens features a clicked aperture ring, a minimum focusing distance of 0.125m, and a robust full‑metal build.
With its f/2 aperture, the 7.5mm fisheye is suitable for creative low‑light shooting, astrophotography, and experimental compositions. The silver finish adds a retro aesthetic, appealing to photographers who want distinctive styling alongside extreme perspective.
