Advertisement Posted January 6, 2018 Posted January 6, 2018 Hi TomB_tx, Take a look here 7artisans 50mm F1.1 Leica M Mount. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
pippy Posted January 6, 2018 Share #302 Posted January 6, 2018 Interestingly his appraisal pretty much echoes what has been reported by everyone here... I found this bit rather intriguing; "When the focus is too near or too far, you can loosen two tiny screws at the back of the copper optical cell and turn the unit clockwise or counterclockwise according to instructions.......you need to be very careful and repeat the operation several times before the focus is spot on. I used my M8.2 and MM2 and both required different settings. The smart choice was to settle for a position between both cameras..." Why Is this the case? If we are to assume that Mr. Puts has his rangefinder cams properly adjusted why are the results from one body different from another?

hteasley Posted January 10, 2018 Share #303 Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Two images from the 7Artisans on the CL I backed off from f1.1 and the bokeh gets a *lot* nicer. F1.3 is very different from wide open. Edited January 10, 2018 by hteasley Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photos_By_Cowz Posted January 30, 2018 Share #311 Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) I too use the 7A 50 and have no issues with it within the limitations..... it was only AUD500.... It vignettes a little and can be soft, but I like the bokeh and rendering. Having said that, I am awaiting a near new 50 Cron for the M10 Leica M10 and & Artisans 50mm f1.1. Flanked on the left with a Voigtlander 35mm f1.2 v2 Nokton and Voigtlander 75mm f1.8 Heliar Classic. On the right is a Leica 90mm f2.8 Tele-Elmarit and Leica 135mm f4 Tele-Elmar (both 1970's vintage). Welcome, dear visitor!

otto.f Posted March 11, 2018 Share #312 Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) I didn’t read the whole thread here, but I did read Puts about this lens. I don’t think it’s interesting to take sharpness as the most important comparison criterium between several fast 50’s and the 7a. What strikes me the most is the bo-keh. It is very nice and reminds me of the Summilux75. I think they would fit perfectly together on a MM1 along with the 35 Summicron iv. Just hate it that you seem to have to buy the hood separately.

Ecar Posted March 11, 2018 Share #313 Posted March 11, 2018 I have found the quality of the bokeh to be very (ie, more than you'd normally expect from a Sonnar) variable depending on background and distance to subject. IMHO, the 75/1.4 and 35/2 v4 are, on average, better (meaning more predictable). But the 7a is an amazing lens for its price. A 55mm screw-in vented hood and matching cap are very easy to source online for a few bucks. The same can't be said of several CV, Zeiss or even Leica lenses. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlatkob Posted March 12, 2018 Share #314 Posted March 12, 2018 Judging from samples online, the optics do no look impressive. It really has the cheap lens look. But might be fun anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rus Posted March 13, 2018 Share #315 Posted March 13, 2018 Judging from samples online, the optics do no look impressive. It really has the cheap lens look. But might be fun anyway. Interesting.

zlatkob Posted March 13, 2018 Share #316 Posted March 13, 2018 Interesting. Can you elaborate a bit on the "cheap look" please? It depends on the aperture and the subject matter, of course. At widest aperture I'm seeing a mostly busy and distracting bokeh, sometimes with double lines. Sometimes with a radiating-from-center "exploding" look. It's an unrefined look that we're not used to seeing with quality lenses. When bokeh really calls attention to itself like this, it takes something away from the subject in focus. I generally dislike it, but I'm sure it could have fun uses anyway. Stopped down it's likely very good, as most lenses are when stopped down. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rus Posted March 13, 2018 Share #317 Posted March 13, 2018 But I thought that the "exploding" look and the double lining are quite typical of a wide-open shot from a Sonnar 50mm lens, of which the 7 Artisan 50mm purports to be one, no? The same can be quite clearly seen in the early Zeiss Jena Sonnar 50mm F1.5 lens and its many later Japanese and FSU avatars. The same can also be seen in the modern Zeiss ZM Sonnar 50mm 1.5. For the early Zeiss and Canon LTM as well as J3 pictures, you can find them here: http://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=666762 and here one by the modern Zeiss ZM 50/1.5: https://flic.kr/p/22VJNZt 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
apertur Posted March 17, 2018 Share #318 Posted March 17, 2018 Hi, I can slightly pull the front tube out and it moves back when I let it go. I grab the aperture ring and when pulling this out it moves Abitur. Pictures and focusing are fine though. Is that normal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add awful swirl of bokeh and you will describe the Noctilux. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
