What We Like
+Exceptional value at $159 price point with premium all-metal construction
+Bright f/2 aperture rare for ultra-wide primes, excels in low-light and astrophotography
+Minimal distortion control with clean center sharpness and well-controlled vignetting
+Compact and portable at 333-345g with smooth manual focus ring and quality build
Worth Knowing
−Corner and edge softness at wide apertures (f/2-f/4), requiring stopping down to f/8-f/11 for full sharpness
−Lateral chromatic aberration present, especially in corners, though fixable in post-processing
−Cramped aperture ring positioned above mount makes adjustments awkward for some users
−Focus breathing issues and some coma distortion limit suitability for astrophotography at wide aperture

Read our notes on general
The TTArtisan 10mm f/2 is a fully manual ultra-wide angle lens, without any electrical contacts, that is available for almost all the APS-C camera brands. At $159, this all-metal manual lens delivers amazing image quality considering the price and aggressive feature set. While mid-frame and corner sharpness at wider apertures is weak, the lens is very sharp in the center right from f/2 and sharp everywhere at f/8 or smaller apertures, which suits most landscape applications. Minimal distortion and acceptably low vignetting make it well-suited for ultra-wide landscape and architectural work.
