The soap bubble bokeh effect is a unique characteristic of the TTArtisan 100mm F2.8 lens. It is characterized by bokeh balls with bright edges around their perimeters, creating a visually stunning and textured result in your photographs.
Yes, the TTArtisan 100mm F2.8 lens is designed for the M42 mount, but it can be used on any mount with the help of an adapter ring.
The lens body of the TTArtisan 100mm F2.8 is made from aviation-grade aluminum with an anodized surface, ensuring a high-quality and durable build.
The clicked aperture feature allows you to switch settings without needing to look at the lens, which is particularly useful when shooting in low light conditions.
The lens's focal length is 100mm, but due to the absence of a 100mm frameline in the Leica M camera, this lens triggers a 90mm framing. This detail can be ignored if you're using an adapter to use this lens on a non-Leica M camera.

Full Frame with a Large Image Circle
The 100mm f2.8 is a full-frame lens, and the actual imaging circle can almost cover the medium format. When this lens is used on APS-C or Full-frame cameras, it is equivalent to retaining the better quality part of the large image circle. When this lens is used on medium format cameras, the faint vignetting makes the work more artistic.
Compatible Mounts
TTArtisan 100mm f2.8 is designed for the M42 mount, but you can use it on any mount you like with an adapter ring.
Mechanical Feel
The lens body is made of aviation aluminum with an anodized surface and has a good build quality.
Clicked Aperture
With clicked aperture, you can switch it without looking at the lens, especially shooting at night.
Retro Focus Ring
The focus ring is designed to fit the finger, bringing a comfortable feel.
About Frameline
The focal length of the lens is 100mm, but because the Leica M camera does not have 100mm frameline, this lens is designed to trigger 90mm framing. (Ignore this if you are using an adapter to use this lens on a non-Leica M camera)
NOTE
It is a normal phenomenon that the centerline of thread mount lens is not aligned with the centerline of the camera, and it does not affect the use.
If you need an adapter ring to use this lens, it is recommended to use an adapter with a centerline adjustment function.
