I follow you for a very long time, and i love the videos, photos, and all effort you put into videos! Gonna leave a small positive critique, when testing new lenses, try to not overexpose, it will washout colors a lot, its always better to shoot half a stop underexposed, and recover a bit of shadows in lightroom, rather then overexpose and have it all white (sky / water / puddles/ backrounds(even skin looks faint)). Really would like to see that lens performing a bit in Underexposed setting (.5 to 2stops). Keep the good reviews!

I bought this lens (awaiting delivery) for one reason.... I want one non-focus by wire lens with a comprehensive set of DOF marks for zone focusing to use for street photography. I shoot Fujifilm and have the outstanding XF 16MM f/1.4 as well as the more petite f/2.8, but those lenses will "drift" off of the distance that I set for zone focused grab shots while walking around, and you won't see that since they have no external distance info. I'll be using the 17mm at at least f/8 and i already bought a wide-angle hood for it to cut down some flare, so this should fill the square that I bought it for.

It was from FOTASY but the hood being a screw in type was just an angled cone, rather than the usual petaled hood for wide angles. It cut off the corners with severe vignetting. Had to remove it.

First I was skeptical but I decided to order one myself. 0-regrets! The image quality is stunning and for me its all about the usability of the camera setup. The Sigma is better in every aspect besides the form factor which is crucial for travel photography. I can take this lens everywhere on my A6000. I took it to Nashville, Lake Superior and Chicago. Thats what makes this lens so good. One of the best everyday lenses for ASPC.

Hi, I currently have a Pen-F and Sigma 30mm 1,4 and am very happy but unfortunately too big. I am interested in a bright compact lens mainly for street photography and I am undecided between the two TTartisan lenses 23mm 1,4 (plus compactness) and the 17mm (plus focal but less compact) what do you recommend? I would have doubts about their sharpness, to be picky, the potential that the two lenses have in post-production both with open and closed aperture.
