5-F16 and features a 10-blade aperture diaphragm. The lens has minimum focusing distance of 70cm (27. 6in) and a clicked aperture ring.
We haven’t tested any of TTArtisan lenses here at DPReview, but Vincent Bihler has a great review of the TTArtisan 35mm F1. 4 on 35mmc and if the image (and build) quality of the 35mm lens is anything to go by from his review, the 21mm F1. 5 will likely offer plenty of bang for your buck.
The TTArtisan 21mm F1. 5 Leica M-mount lens is available on Amazon* for $429.
