What is the ttartisan 50mm f 1 2 good for?

The TTArtisan 50mm f/1.2 is a manual-focus prime for APS-C cameras, and I'd point it at portraits and low light. On Sony E, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z or L-Mount bodies it frames like a 75mm on full frame, a classic portrait view, and f/1.2 gives about the background blur of f/1.8 there.

It has no autofocus and no stabilisation, so it suits people who are happy to focus by hand and take their time. It's also available for Sony E, Fujifilm X and several other mounts, so check your camera's mount first.

If you want autofocus with a similar look, the portraits guide covers the 56mm f/1.2 to f/1.4 options on APS-C. For a broader view of what a first lens should be, see your first camera.
