Summary

The TTArtisan AF 17mm f/1.8 Air is an ultra-compact and lightweight lens designed specifically for APS-C and Sony and Fujifilmcameras. As part of the "Air" series, it stands out for its metal body of just 161 grams, making it an ideal companion for everyday use without sacrificing build quality.

Optically, it has 14 elements in 10 groups, offering a wide-angle perspective of 81 degrees (equivalent to 25mm in universal pitch). Its generous f/1.8 aperture allows you to work in low light conditions and achieve subject separation with a natural blur.
