TTArtisan 75mm F2 on the BF

[Docno]

Haven't used longer lenses for a while (and haven't felt much of a need), so I decided to go cheap to fill out my L-Mount collection a bit ... my other lenes are 45mm and wider. The TTA 75 seemed to fit the bill ... fairly positive reviews, and the price was right. It's sharp and the bokeh is decent: no onion rings though it does cat eyes towards the corners. Firmware update process was easy with the supplied rear lens cap with USB-C port. Only two small downsides so far:

1. The black plastic front lens cap is a bit of a disappointment if you're used to Sigma Contemporary line lenses ... doesn't fit the overall aesthetic. But I found a compatible silver screw-on cap online for a couple of dollars. Problem solved.
2. The AF is slower than I'm used to, and it tends to hunt a little in low light. In good light, it's fine.

It arrived just before a short trip to Malacca, Malaysia, which was once the most significant city in SE Asia before the Portuguese arrived, followed by the Dutch, then British. Mostly used wider lenses there (24mm and 45mm Sigmas), but here are some shots of and by the TTA 75. Thanks.
