TTartisan will soon announce a new 32mm f/2.8 full-frame autofocus lens for Nikon Z-mount

By [NR] admin | Published: September 30, 2021



TTartisan will soon announce its first autofocus full-frame lens that will be available also for Nikon Z-mount – the TTartisan AF 32mm f/2.8 Z will be officially released in October or November. All other mounts will follow after (Sony E, Fuji X, Canon M, Canon R).


TTartisan was rumored to announce its first AF lens in 2022. I am surprised they did it earlier given the current global parts shortage. It is also nice to see that the Nikon Z version will be released first.


TTartisan lenses are sold at:

Feedback from readers: SmallRig grip for Nikon Z fc and TTartisan 11mm f/2.8 fisheye lens

By [NR] admin | Published: September 26, 2021

I receive a lot of feedback from readers on various Nikon-related products and accessories. The information I get is not detailed enough for a separate blog post, but maybe I can start combining several topics and share them with the Nikon community. I start new category called “Feedback from readers“:


The new SmallRig grip for Nikon Z fc camera (available at Amazon):

“Just received my Z fc grip from SmallRig. It fits like a dream; the grip itself is solid rubber, and the attachment screw on the bottom has a winder loop so you don’t have to carry a quarter to attach the grip.”



Using the TTartisan 11mm f/2.8 full-frame fisheye lens on the Nikon Z50 APS-C camera:

“I can say: YES it works! I can correct the fisheye look on the Z50 with LR 6.14. It was no problem to get an ultrawide angle look with no distortion. And that’s not all, I can use filters with 82mm (POL and ND at the same time) with step-up rings – 72mm to 82mm, and there is no vignetting in the corners. So I have a perfect wide-angle lens for my Z50 APS-C camera and can use it also for my Z6 in the future.”

Here is a sample photo and the corrected version:
