The TTArt 56mm f/1.8 AF lens is a good value for the price. It has great sharpness and contrast, especially in the center, but the corners are a bit soft. The build quality is nice and small, with a metallic build and a manual focus ring. The lens does not have any apparent weather sealing. It has a 52mm filter thread and comes with a metallic crushed style lens hood. The autofocus works fairly quickly and emits a quiet whirring sound, but it may not be suitable for shooting with the onboard microphone. The lens also exhibits some focus breathing. In terms of image quality, the lens performs best at f5.6, with the middle being sharp and the corners showing slight improvement. However, at wider apertures, there is noticeable chromatic aberration and flaring. It also has low distortion and high vignetting, although they are corrected by the camera. Overall, it is a good value lens, especially for portrait and subject photography where sharp corner images are not required.
