TTArtisan 23mm f/1.8 AF — The lens I keep on my camera

TTArtisan 23mm f/1.8 AF — The lens I keep on my camera

Paola Panebianco Sep 23, 2026 0
In this hands-on review, Paola Panebianco takes the TTArtisan 23mm f/1.8 AF to Calpe, Spain, photographing the colourful geometry of Ricardo Bofill’s Muralla Roja. With its compact size, 35mm-equivalent field of view, f/1.8 aperture and autofocus, the lens proves particularly well suited to travel, street and architecture photography. Paola also looks at its compromises, including softer corners at wider apertures, vignetting and the lack of weather sealing, and explains why it has become the lens she keeps on her Fujifilm camera.

My Fujifilm X-T1 in 2021

My Fujifilm X-T1 in 2021

In order to improve my work, I often get carried away by the belief that a better camera is the synonym for better photos. About 5 years ago, I bought my first Fujifilm X-T1 with an XF56mm F1.2 and an XF50mm F2. Luckily I did not sell it when I…

THE FUJIFILM X-T1, by Rupert Marlow

SLOWLY BUT SURELY I bought a Fuji X-Pro1 as soon as the local Calumet had one in stock. I hadn’t used it, I hadn’t read much about it, other than about the fancy new (at the time) sensor but the one thing I had seen was Zack Arias’ notes on…

Premium/ Bokeh – Life Past F1.4

Premium/ Bokeh – Life Past F1.4

When I started photography, fast glass was something almost unobtainable. Voigtlander released a Leica M mount  $1000 F1.1 “Nokton”, and that was about as entry-level as it got. For 0.95 the only affordable option was the Canon TV “Dream” lens, which was priced in the multiple of thousands. I made…

Premium/ A designer approach to landscape photography

Premium/ The Fujifilm X-T3: A perspective from an X-T2 owner

Well, how to tackle this? That was something that has been on my mind for a couple of days now. Let’s face it, the internet is full of the “new” X-T3 reviews, comparisons and hands-on experiences. So here I am, thinking that I can add something to some of the…

Premium/ Fujifilm Deliverance

The «cliché» of Brittany

A Winter road trip in Brittany… I imagine that sentence shouldn’t be a dream for many people. The grey sky, the wind, the rain, the cold, the fog. This region of northwestern France has always had a terrible reputation for its weather. Me being the first, when I think about…

When the mountain calls, I won’t pick up

It’s midnight in the mountains. A storm is raging around us. Lightning and thunder are shaking the earth. Small stones are crumbling from the ceiling of our cave. I can feel water dripping on my head. And the rain blowing in my face. After three intense days in the mountains,…

To and fro Yogyakarta in infrared using the X-E1

Some forewords: there’s a lot of a-changin’ happening in my life these days. One big recurring theme after the birth of our daughter back in 2021 is that somehow my little family have been moving around more than a couple of times. Most of the time we relocated within Jakarta,…

Before my switch to Fuji System, I used a Canon 5D Mark I and an old Japanese manual lens, the Super-Takumar 85mm 1.8. I always wanted to try shooting in full-frame format and the old Canon 5D Mark I was the only option which was affordable for me. I used…
