When Fujifanboy @alwinkok_ pass me the TTartisan 50mm F1.4 Tilt lens, I was pretty excited about it. Didn’t have any expectation but I tell myself to just take it through its paces and see what this lens could offer? It’s a manual focus lens.
The built quality of this lens does feels very premium. And it has some good weight to it too. Overall a very handsome looking lens with 2 screws attached. One for the purpose of tilting. The other is for rotating the lens. 360 degree.
When I mate it with a X-T5; they look amazing together. Looks alone is never enough, is this lens any good? I have never used a 50mm tilt lens; which is a 75mm in 135 format. Generally speaking I only use Tilt lens for interior and architecture photography. Which mean these lens are always on wider side. So what could one do with a 50mm Tilt lens?




So, what could this lens be use for? I actually have no idea, and for the last one week plus its been my everyday lens. If you don’t tilt this lens; it’s basically a 50mm F1.4 lens. Works prettywell like any other 50mm lens. Before I share little more, I will let the photo do some talking for a better understanding. Image quality is soft when shot wide open. Chromatic aberration is present at times. No biggy.
















































What do you think of the photos? Pretty fun right? I enjoy the tilt function. The lens ability to tilt is a joy to use. Creatively this lens score top marks. The more I used the better I get compared when I first had it. Which I think it’s quite painful to set it up. Now it’s easy peasy. I guess like all things in life, patience and practice is key.
Just yesterday, I was on a field and there are birds flying around. I just realize if I tilt the plane of focus to vertical and maybe set to F4- F8 range I could quite easily nail a decent shot of the birds flying on my left to right. As it’s a 50mm lens I can’t get any closer; imagine there is a 100mm or 200mm tilt lens?



At USD$199 this lens is worth a serious consideration. It works well as a standard 50mm lens plus the tilt function; this lens opens up to endless creativity. I would recommend this lens.
