Is the ttartisan af 56mm f 1 8 good in low light?

Yes, for most low-light work. At f/1.8 it gathers far more light than any kit zoom, and on APS-C it frames like an 84mm equivalent, so it suits people, food and close subjects in dim rooms. Its shallow depth of field also keeps a sharp subject against a soft background.

It has no stabilisation, so keep your shutter speed up by hand. On a full-frame Sony or Nikon body it only works in APS-C crop mode, which reduces resolution, so an APS-C body such as the Fujifilm X-T5 or Sony a6700 is the more natural pairing. If you're still choosing your first fast lens, the lens guide explains why primes are worth it, and portraits covers how this focal length is used.
