By B&H Photo’sMatt CottomOffered here in black and silver and an elegant retro design, this TTArtisan 23mm f/1.4 is a compact wide-angle prime for Micro Four Thirds-mount mirrorless cameras. Designed for Micro Four Thirds systems, the lens provides a focal length equivalent of 50mm on a full-frame camera and offers a bright f/1.4 maximum aperture for working in a variety of lighting conditions. An excellent walkaround lens for portraits, street scenes, and all-purpose photography, the lens’s manual focus design permits smooth and refined control. Well-suited for low-light photography, its wide aperture enables enhanced control over depth of field for isolating subject matter when using selective focus techniques, while a 10-blade diaphragm lets you capture smooth and natural-looking bokeh. Robustly constructed with eight elements in six groups, the lens incorporates one low dispersion element and three high index elements, which combine to suppress a variety of aberrations while producing high color accuracy and sharpness.Compact normal-length prime designed for Micro Four Thirds-mount mirrorless camerasProvides a full-frame equivalent focal length of 50mmManual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 7.9″ awayRobustly constructed of eight elements in six groups, including one low dispersion element and three high index elementsBright f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditionsWide maximum aperture for control over depth of field and selective focus techniquesIntegrated manual aperture ring for tactile exposure control10-blade diaphragm for a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality
