Hello there

I just received a TTArtisant 40mm macro for my Fuji XM-1, much needed to scan negatives.

The focus ring is slow and need quite some efforts to turn. Probably best for precision and not sliding out of focus.

But the mount has a quite a lot of play. It rotates following the focus ring adjustments, which, in turn, mess with the focus… It fit nicely flat on the body but this angular free play is annoying.

Anyway I need a macro lens, and can’t afford $600 for a genuine Fujinon X mount Lens…

Does anyone also have TTArtisan manual focus lenses ? How does they fit ?

I am tempted to send it back, can’t decide. Any advices ?

Bye

    I second this. I have a few Chinese lenses and they don’t have mount issues.

    Try getting a replacement first. Maybe you got a bad unit

      It’s from Amazon my understanding if I ask for an exchange I need to deal with TTArtisan, negotiate, pay for shipping and wait hopping they don’t return my own copy.

      If I just send it back, it’s Amazon problem to deal with it.
