TTArtisan APS-C 50mm f/1.2 50mm
Its f/1.2 maximum aperture captures 11.1 times more light than an f/4 lens for extreme shallow depth of field, with a 10-blade diaphragm rendering exceptionally smooth bokeh. The all-metal, click-stopped aperture ring and 336g weight deliver a premium, portable handling experience uncommon at this price. This manual-focus 50mm (75mm equivalent) is ideal for Sony E-mount hobbyist portrait and street shooters who prioritize creative control of depth of field.
