From the editor
Optically, this lens is another variation of the classic double Gauss design. The prototypes for the TTArtisan 25/2 were most likely the very compact Leitz Summicron-C 40/2, Minolta M-Rokkor 40/2 for CL, Minolta M-Rokkor 40/2 for CLE, with one additional element for better refraction. Like the TTArtisan 35/1.4, the lens does not have any special (aspherical, extra low dispersion or high refractive index) elements in its optical formula.
With a 35mm equivalent focal length of 38-40mm (depending on sensor size), the lens covers a wide range of subjects from landscapes and architecture to portraits. The latter genre is facilitated by the fast speed of F/2, which makes possible a shallow depth of field and a smooth, eye-pleasing background blur. There are only 7 aperture blades, but when the aperture is stopped down, the shape of the out-of-focus highlights will still be close to round.
The short closest focusing distance of 0.25m allows for close-ups of flowers and other small subjects.
The light weight (166-189g, depending on the mount) and overall length of only 31mm make this lens very portable and convenient for casual or travel photography, if you don't mind focusing manually.
The lens accepts small 43mm screw-in filters, while a lens hood is not available. The screw-on front cap may be inconvenient for some people because it takes a few seconds to unscrew, which can lead to missing a decisive moment. Why this lens could not be provided with a conventional snap-on cap remains unclear.
