T&S 100mm F2.8 Macro 2X
Ideal Choice for Macro
TTArtisan 100mm F2.8 2x Macro adopts an optical structure of 14 elements in 10 groups, including 6 high-index lenses. This is a medium telephoto lens with a tilt& shift function, and it's ideal for macro photography, product photography,and portrait, etc.
2X Magnification
Capture the intricate beauty of small subject.
Attach the cold shoe mount bracket to the 4 screw holes on the front of the lens and the cold shoe mounts can attach external devices such as LED lights.
Note: Only one cold shoe bracket is included in the package box. LED lights are not included.
Smooth Bokeh
The 100mm f2.8 features 12-blade circular apertures that produces nearly circular bokeh, which is smooth and natural.
The minimum focus distance is 0.25m. This lens allows you to get exceptionally close to the subject, while keeping sharp image quality.
The precise and smooth feel of aperture gives you a good shooting experience.
Featuring tilt, shift and rotation capabilities
The tilt angle can be adjusted 8°, with the following main features：
When you use a normal lens, the focal plane is parallel to the sensor, and the depth of field can be increased by narrowing the aperture so that more of the subject is in focus. But by tilting the lens allows the plane of focus not to be parallel to the sensor, it changes the plane of focus and alters the depth of field.
The Tilt function can be used to control the orientation of the focal plane, and thus the part of an image that appears sharp.
The lens can be shifted by ±6mm, with the following main features：
The Shift function can be used to correct perspective distortion in architectural photography, product photography and other creative photography.
The specular reflection will make the camera visible. If you want to make the camera invisible, the normal lens can only be done by changing the shooting position. However, in the case where the shooting position cannot be changed, using a Tilt-shift lens can solve this problem.
Tilt/Shift Vignetting
By tilting or shifting, it is normal that there will be vignetting on one side. The degree of vignetting depends on the different magnifications (No vignetting when used on X-mount and M43-mount cameras)
GFX-mount Vignetting
After using the Tilt or Shift, it is normal that there will be vignetting on one side.

Let customers speak for us
An amazing lens for a very affordable price. The build quality is outstanding with an eye to little details that will make the lens enjoyable to use for many years. Even the packaging is better than expected.
Performed better than I expected and the bokeh is bubbly with the right lighting conditions.
I am very happy with this purchase, I used them the other day for a project, and was delighted. They are the perfect match for the Sony Fx30. The customer service on the website was excellent as well.
This lens makes use of the classic Cooke Triplet design that saw the light of day more than 100 years ago. Those who use this lens are looking for an imagery that is no longer possible with modern, highly corrected lenses. If you want to learn more about it, you can check out Pavel Sinagl's review below, which really lays out the pros and cons in wonderful detail. I am very glad that TTArtisan has reissued this lens, as the copies from the analog era are now very expensive and often in very poor condition. New interpretations from other manufacturers are also worth a look in this context and score points with suitable mounts for modern camera systems and high-quality workmanship. However, the prices are significantly higher. The fact that TTArtisan has chosen the M42 mount is very clever, since this allows only one variant to be produced in a larger quantity, which ultimately reduces the price drastically. If you are looking for a special look and flawless feel, you should definitely take a look at this lens.
I start from the end - I really like this lens for its character and image quality. However, we need to have the same understanding of the terms "image character" and "image quality" so this review will be useful to you and not just perpetuation of superlatives without real meaning to you.
This lens truthfully mimic the famous "bubble bokeh" champion - 100mm f/2.8 Trioplan lens produced in the 50's of the previous century. It is often described as "soft focus" and very often used for portraits but also for semi-macro shots where its distinctive bubble bokeh is especially visible (*with the right light and background!). However the bokeh and slight glow which you can see when using the lens with wide open aperture was considered as imperfection back then and therefore it was soon replaced with another lens with more modern and complex optical design (Orestor 100mm f/2.8). And yet came the time when almost all lenses in production by any brand in the world are super sharp without optical flaws (either by their design or with help of embedded software correction profiles and photographers and videographers are looking for something to make their work to stand out of the unified crowd. And here comes the demand and appreciation of vintage character which is in fact a manifestation of optical design imperfection but at the same time offers pleasing rendition which shifts the focus of viewers from optical perfection of the image to the creators idea captured in the image.
To make the long story short, this lens is not optically perfect - if that is what you are after then look elsewhere. But if you find inspiration in vintage photographs or movies then the pleasing soft rendition of this lens will reward you with distinctive vintage look. Yes, you need to know what you are doing or you need to learn it. This lens will not turn any random snapshot into a masterpiece by itself. But if you understand what you find pleasing on vintage photographs you can explore your creative abilities with it.
Also - important to mention - this lens IS NOT only about "bubble bokeh"! Being derivation of century old Cooke triplet formula used (and still used today) by film makers for its organic and smooth bokeh it can produce beautiful images even without the bubbles. Personally I love this lens especially for Back and White images. Wide open for pleasing portraits with just a hint of "glow" in the image and when you stop the lens down a bit it becomes sharp as gains contrast. But even wide open there is plenty of detail in the images just veiled in that soft shroud of glow. This feature/quality predestines this lens for poetic and atmospheric images (portraits, moody landscapes with soft sunrise/sundown light or even better with some fog and haze, rainy street scenes...) and all that preferably in B/W :)
And last word about the mechanics - this is all manual focus lens with no electrical contacts in it - just like any "real" vintage lens! So you should know how to operate it. It is not difficult but it require you to master manual focus and learn your camera exposure to have real fun using this lens and explore your creativity.
Choose wisely if this lens is for your photographic style and enjoy! :)
As stated before, this will probably not be your main lens, but for the specific results that it can produce, there is a chance that you will want to have it with you all the time. I bought mine for a specific project, have it for a month and already loving it. Being so versatile, there's no fear of getting bored by it at some point. Well done, TTArtisan!
If TTArtisan would develop in addition to the 100mm a
50mm F2.8 Bubble Bokeh
and a
35mm F2.8 Bubble Bokeh
I would immedeately buy them first thing in the morning.
This 100mm lens is simply great!
Since I got the lens it has performed brilliantly. I prefer this lens over 'the other' 27mm lens for Fuji. The best performance per dollar lens I have.
Ho acquistato questo obiettivo per il fantastico bokeh che offre. È un'ottima alternativa al Trioplan.
I really like the lens, it's like an old classic lens only it's new smooth and clean with bright colours. And the special bubble effect is beautiful it's plenty sharp for my taste. TTartans is a great company I like all the lenses I have tried, thanks for bringing us this unique lens.
It may not be as sharp as 99% of all modern lenses, but it’s far more fun and inspiring to use than 99% of all of those. Beautiful bokeh. I hope TTArtisan take a look at other vintage lenses like the Helios and Jupiter and vintage Zeiss ranges and hopefully they can bridge the gap between those and modern lenses by providing some with autofocus and excellent glass , yet still maintaining that classic image. Now THAT would be interesting. Good luck TTArtisan.
