The Red TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 ‘Year of the Ox’ Lens is Gorgeous
TTArtisan has unveiled a limited edition version of its 50mm f/0.96 lens for Leica M-Mount cameras that features a striking red finish to celebrate the Year of the Ox according to the Chinese Zodiac.
The company already had two variants of the lens, silver and black, but the red version is limited to 500 pieces worldwide and features a unique engraved lens cap.
For those who are fans of the color red (or born in other Ox years like 1961, 1973 1985, 1997, or 2009), this lens would look great on any Leica M-Mount camera.
Looking at the actual specifications of the lens, it’s a wide-aperture normal-focal-length prime that features one large-diameter, double-sided aspherical element, and eight high refractive index elements that TTArtisans says suppress distortion and spherical aberration. The result is supposedly a more accurately rendered image with a high degree of sharpness.

To celebrate the year of the ox, TTArtisan has made 500 special “Red Limited Edition” versions of its 50mm f/0.95 ASPH lens.
Red is a very auspicious color in a lot of areas of Asia, and hey, if someone can make white lenses, why not make a red one.
The TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 ASPH “Red Limited Edition” combines a metallic red lens barrel with an 18-karat gold-plated mount. The design is meant to reflect this year’s zodiac “Yin Metal Ox”.
The lens is based on the existing TTArtisan 50mm f/0.95 ASPH Leica M mount version, with the only exception being that the filter diameter has been reduced by 5mm.
