TTArtisan 90mm f1.25 mirrorless Camera Lens Manual

54 Budget Score
90mm f/1.25 Fujifilm G IS
Why we recommend this

Its f/1.25 maximum aperture and four sets of achromatic doublets deliver exceptional background blur and sharpness with minimal chromatic aberration for a manual lens. The lens also features a well-damped, clicked aperture ring that provides precise tactile control for photographers. This lens is best for portrait and close-up photographers using Fujifilm G-mount cameras who prioritize ultimate bokeh quality and manual operation over autofocus.
