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

    No other lenses have any play. I have a few primes and the kit zoom, perfectly snug fit.

    That’s a shame, I will probably send it back to Amazon and order another one from another seller, fingers crossed it’s just a lemon, not the whole series.

    I can’t find any other lenses (vintage lenses with an adapter) that gives me close to 1:1
