It’s fairly similar to the 55mm I recently wrote about – though there are some build quality advances. It’s fair to say that the 7Artisans 35mm f/1.2 doesn’t feel the most highly polished bit of kit. Of course this is a little reflected in the quality of construction. For a 35mm f1.2 lens, that doesn’t feel like a lot of money. The list price out of China is $145, this works out as £130(ish) once you’ve paid the duty and vat into the UK. It was super dark, f/1.All things considered, I think the first point to note is that it’s quite cheap. YEAH, that's me! Picture by again, super thin depth of field and unique bokeh My son and her aunt! In portraits it really shines! I tried this lens on my M-P typ 240, nothing touched in ACR, just the white balance.įlat subject, some fuzziness, but acceptable. f/1.1 means really thin focus plane, and super bokeh in the background! I did it in 10 minutes.īeing an f/1.1 lens it's really hard to nail perfect focus on a manual rangefinder camera, but when you get it, this lens deserve attention. It comes with a screwdriver and a guide on how to correct focus errors by rotating the rangefinder cam.
It's just for EXIF and some corrections, I tried on and off it doesn't change much. The camera will recognize this lens as an old 50 f/1 Noctilux. It uses readily available 55mm diameter ring for filters (uv is dirt cheap online) and The build is remarkably done, this version is aluminium made, with brass cam inside. The real Noctilux is f/0.95 and 10K but, who'll notice? :) Newly released is this ULTRA WIDE APERTURE 7ARTISANS's LENS!įor a mere 400ish US dollars you can get your very own quasi-noctilux available. There are some cheaper alternatives, Zeiss (yes ZEISS is a cheapie when Leica talking!), Voigtlander-Cosina, old M39 canons, Russians LTM etc etc. They are some of the most perfect lenses on this planet, with a price to match.
