TTArtisan Rangefinder Lenses 100mm f/2.8 Macro 100mm
With true 2X life-size magnification at a 9.8-inch focusing distance and a 12-blade aperture for smooth bokeh, this 100mm f/2.8 macro lens delivers extreme close-up detail on GFX medium-format bodies. The all-metal aerospace-grade aluminum construction and integrated cold shoe expansion hub allow for attaching ring lights or microphones directly to the lens. It's best for Fuji GFX shooters specializing in high-magnification macro work, such as insect and product photographers needing eyelash-level reproduction.

- Q1 202585/100
Buyers praise the lens's sharp optics, color, and value, but note a rotational mount play on Canon R10 and need for an adapter on RF mount.
- Excellent optics, sharp images, beautiful colors and bokeh for the price.
- Rotational play when mounted on Canon R10, though not affecting image quality.
- Requires additional adapter for Canon RF mount; not immediately compatible as shown.
- Solid metal build; weight seen as a benefit for stability, not a drawback.
- Q4 202340/100
Buyers praised the unique bubble bokeh but many found the lens too soft wide open, especially for portraits, leading to returns.
- Unique bubble bokeh effect is excellent and easy to achieve.
- Lens is too soft at f/2.8, requiring heavy editing or stopping down.
- Not suitable for kid's portraits due to blurriness.
- Softness wide open is manageable by stopping down one click.
