Description — TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95
The TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 is a prime lens in the standard focal length range, purpose-built for the Leica M mount on mirrorless camera systems. Its headline specification is a maximum aperture of f/0.95, placing it in rare territory for a 50mm lens and making it well-suited to environments where light is scarce or where very shallow depth of field is the creative goal. The lens is designed to cover a full frame image circle, ensuring edge-to-edge performance on compatible Leica M cameras.
Focus is entirely manual, with no autofocus mechanism — an approach that aligns naturally with the deliberate, tactile style of shooting that Leica M users typically prefer. At 411g, the lens remains relatively portable for its aperture class. The 62mm filter thread opens compatibility with a broad range of filters. No image stabilization is present, so technique and camera handling play an important role when working at the widest aperture settings.
