Is the ttartisan tilt 35mm f 1 4 worth it?
Yes, if you shoot on an APS-C or Micro Four Thirds body and want a fast, small standard lens for people, food and low light. On Sony E, Fujifilm X or Nikon Z it frames roughly like a 52mm on full frame, a natural view that also works for environmental portraits and small groups. The f/1.4 aperture gives you plenty of background blur and light.
Be honest about the trade-offs. It's manual focus only and not stabilised, so it suits slower, deliberate shooting more than fast action. If you're putting together a first kit, it pairs well with a standard zoom; see the first lenses guide for where a fast standard prime fits. For the full list of compatible bodies, check the TTArtisan Tilt 35mm f/1.4 page.
