TTArtisan 25mm F2: The Perfect Budget Street Lens

I’m currently in the middle of my "10,000 Hours" Street Photography Series, and for this leg of the journey, I decided to challenge myself with one of the cheapest manual lenses on the market: the TTArtisan 25mm F2. My goal was simple: put this budget prime to the ultimate test on a demanding photowalk through the busy streets and incredible architecture of Milan, Italy. I went in with low expectations, but what came out of this tiny lens ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED me. The quality and character I found in the Duomo's shadows and the bustling Galleria were completely unexpected for the price. Could this obscure, manual-focus $70 lens actually be the single BEST lens for APS-C street photography right now? Watch to see all the final images, my real-world test, and discover if this "cheap thrill" will change your view on budget gear forever. (P.S. The final verdict might surprise you.) www.williammustafajr.com facebook.com/artworksofwilliammustafa instagram @iamtheimageneer   / wilmustafa
