TTArtisan A35BS-Z APS-C 23mm F/1.4 – fast wide-angle lens for Nikon Z
The TTArtisan A35BS-Z is a manual wide-angle lens with a focal length of 23mm and a maximum aperture of F/1.4. It is designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras with a Nikon Z mount and is ideal for street photography, landscapes, and available-light situations.
Fast F/1.4 aperture enables creative background blur and shooting in challenging light – perfect for moody evening and indoor shots.
APS-C image circle with a 35mm equivalent of around 35mm offers a versatile angle of view for documentary and reportage photography.
Manual focus with a continuous ring gives the photographer full control over depth of field.
Compact build (43mm filter thread, low weight) makes it a lightweight companion on the go.
Unlike many autofocus lenses, TTArtisan relies on a purely mechanical construction without electronics. This reduces complexity and increases reliability – ideal for photographers who prefer to focus manually. The large F/1.4 aperture also offers a real advantage over slower zooms, enabling usable shutter speeds even in twilight.
Ideal for...
This lens is aimed at photography enthusiasts who want to experiment with their Nikon Z (APS-C) camera. It is particularly suited for street photography, travel photography, and available-light situations. Beginners in manual photography will also find a tool to learn the basics of aperture, focus, and depth of field.
How to use the TTArtisan 23mm F/1.4
Mount the lens directly onto the Nikon Z mount of your camera. As it is purely mechanical, you need to select the 'Lens without CPU' option in the camera menu – exposure metering then works via the camera's built-in metering system. Set the aperture using the aperture ring on the lens, focus using the distance ring. For optimal sharpness, use your camera's Focus Peaking function or digitally zoom in Live View.
