The TTArtisan 28mm f/5.6 is a compact and visually appealing lens that provides decent performance for its price point. Despite being a budget-friendly option, it manages to capture sharp images in the middle, making it suitable for street photography and landscape shots. However, there are some drawbacks to consider, such as soft corners, noticeable flaring, and limited minimum focus distance. The lens can be adapted to various camera systems, adding versatility to its usage. On full-frame cameras, it exhibits moderate barrel distortion and vignetting at wider apertures, which can be corrected, but the significant flaring issues can pose challenges when shooting in bright light. Overall, while it may not offer the highest image quality, it can still be a compelling choice for those seeking an affordable wide-angle lens with a unique design and satisfactory performance on APS-C cameras.

The lens's minimum focus distance of one meter limits its versatility, and it may not offer the highest image quality overall.
