Astrhori 50mm f/1.4 Tilt Review

35

This lens is a cheap manual lens with a fun tilting feature. It has poor image quality and lots of technical problems. Not suitable for serious photography.

This lens is technically not a high-quality lens by any stretch of the imagination. It has all kinds of image quality problems and is not suitable for serious photography use.

Pros
  • Inexpensive
  • Unique tilting feature
Cons
  • Poor image quality
  • Technical problems
  • Not suitable for serious photography

The lens encounters numerous technical problems and is not suitable for serious photography use.

This lens is a relatively inexpensive manual lens with a unique tilting feature. The lens is best suited for use with APS-C cameras but can work on full-frame cameras as well, although the image quality suffers. The build quality is average, and the lens is small and weighs about 320 grams. However, the lens exhibits image quality issues on both full-frame and APS-C cameras, with poor contrast, high purple fringing, and corner softness at wider apertures. The lens also suffers from moderate barrel distortion, visible vignetting, and poor close-up image quality. Overall, the lens encounters numerous technical problems and is not suitable for serious photography use. But if you're looking for a fun lens to experiment with its tilting feature, it may provide some enjoyment for a while, especially if you're interested in exclusive content for Patreon supporters.
