TTartisan 75mm F1.5 Swirly Bokeh
I’ve done way to many reviews in the last year but you know I like lenses with character. So when Pergear gave me the chance to test out the TTartisan 75mm F1.5 Swirly Bokeh, I couldn’t resist. After all this is a remake of the legendary Carl Zeiss Jena Biotar 75mm F1.5.
As usual, I started by testing the lens by shooting anything and everything.
And when it was time to shoot Maya’s birthday portrait, I did it with the 75mm.
Here’s the setup shot for the pictures above. Note how fast the sharpness drops off. And in case you are wondering, that’s an inflatable light from Ulanzi, crazy stuff but very handy.
During the shoot with Yasmin for the Simera 50mm review, I also took a couple of shots with the Swirly Bokeh.
And then I did a little improvised shoot with my friend Bert from Rewilding Drum.
The TTartisan 75mm F1.5 is an M42 screw mount lens with a big image circle. This means that with a cheap adapter you can use it on pretty much any camera system. The beautiful Annick was kind enough to get in front of the lens on a very cold day, so I could try this lens one three different sensor: aps-c, full frame and medium format.
The shots below are all shot with my trusty Fujifilm X-H2 (aps-c sensor):
The shots below are all shot with a Leica SL2-S (full frame sensor):
The shots below are all shot with my good old Fujifilm GFX-50R (medium format sensor):
I feel like I’ve done enough reviews for a while, time to tackle some other subjects on my YouTube channel. Put your ideas and suggestions in the comment!
