TTArtisan AF AF 17mm f/1.8 Air 17mm
Combining a fast f/1.8 aperture and 25.5mm full-frame equivalent focal length in a durable aluminum body, this lens excels as a lightweight wide-angle prime. The STM autofocus motor delivers smooth, silent focusing, while the 7.1-inch minimum focus distance adds versatility for close-up detail. It's best for Sony APS-C shooters needing an affordable, portable option for street photography and environmental portraits, though its travel score of 26.8 suggests some handling limitations.
