FAQs

Is this lens autofocus?

No, the TTArtisan 35mm T2.1 Dual Bokeh Cine Lens is a manual focus lens. You will need to adjust focus manually using the focus ring.

What does 'Dual Bokeh' mean?

Dual Bokeh refers to the lens's ability to render background blur (bokeh) in two distinct styles: a pronounced 'bubble' bokeh and a softer, more painterly bokeh, offering creative control over background aesthetics.

Can I use this lens on a crop-sensor Nikon Z camera (DX)?

Yes, the lens is compatible with Nikon Z DX format cameras, but it will behave like a longer focal length due to the crop factor. The image circle is designed for full-frame, so it will cover the DX sensor area.

Does this lens have electronic contacts?

No, this is a fully manual lens and does not feature electronic contacts. Focus and aperture are controlled manually via the lens rings.

What is the 0.8 Mod Gear Pitch for?

The 0.8 Mod Gear Pitch on the focus and aperture rings is standard for cine lenses and allows for seamless integration with professional follow focus systems used in filmmaking.

Can I use filters with this lens?

Yes, the lens features an 82mm filter thread, allowing you to attach standard screw-on filters such as ND, CPL, or color filters.

Troubleshooting

Lens not communicating with camera (no EXIF data, no aperture control)

Ensure the lens is securely mounted. Check if your camera has the latest firmware. This is a manual lens, so electronic communication for focus/aperture is not expected beyond basic mounting confirmation.

Image appears soft or out of focus

This is a manual focus lens. Ensure the focus ring is adjusted precisely for your subject. Use your camera's focus peaking or magnification aids if available. Check that the aperture is set to the desired T-stop.

Sticking focus or aperture ring

Gently exercise the rings back and forth. If the issue persists, the lens may require professional servicing. Avoid forcing the rings, as this could cause damage.

Cons

  • Manual focus only, requiring user skill for precise adjustments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This lens is specifically designed for Nikon Z mount cameras, including both full-frame (FX) and APS-C (DX) models. Ensure your camera firmware is up to date for optimal performance.

Setup:

  1. Remove the rear lens cap and the camera body cap.
  2. Align the lens's mounting index with the corresponding index on the Nikon Z camera body.
  3. Gently insert the lens into the mount and rotate it clockwise until it clicks into place.
  4. To detach, press the lens release button on the camera body and rotate the lens counter-clockwise.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a blower brush to remove loose dust from the lens elements. For smudges or fingerprints, use a microfiber lens cloth. For stubborn marks, apply a lens cleaning solution sparingly to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
  • Storage: Store the lens in its original packaging or a padded camera bag to protect it from dust, moisture, and impact.
  • Handling: Always handle the lens by its body. Avoid touching the glass elements directly. When changing lenses, do so in a clean environment to minimize dust ingress.
