And I&rsquo;ve gotta say, I like it. Mr. Crumb was assisting me by totally destroying the corner of the bed as he likes to do.</p> <p>One thing no one&rsquo;s mentioned about this fantastic little ttartisans 17mm f1.4: it has a screw-in metal lens cap. Everyone talks about how inconvenient that is. But in this case it screws tight with a half turn - making it in some ways easier to manage than a clip-on cap. The 50&rsquo;s cap takes multiple turns and is totally impractical as a working lens cap. But this one on the tiny front element of 17mm is actually great.</p> https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-07-15-my-lenses-arrived-literally-the/ Thu, 15 Jul 2021 17:21:41 +0000 https://photoblog-a3l.pages.dev/posts/2021-07-15-my-lenses-arrived-literally-the/ <p>My lenses arrived. Literally the best customer service I&rsquo;ve ever experienced. They suggested I cancel my initial purchase to take advantage of their sale that was coming up in a few days. When Aliexpress wasn&rsquo;t cooperating on giving the promised free shipping they gave me a discount for another portal to the value of the sale - and then stayed in touch via whatsapp through Fedex&rsquo;s idiocy until I had the lenses. <a href="https://instagram.com/ttartisanofficial">@ttartisanofficial</a> is a company that can be proud of its customer service and it speaks well of Chinese customer service in general.</p>
