More like "7 Patent Infringers".

 

Want a CV? Just get one. It's a proven product. If you can afford a digital M, my bet is that you can afford a used CV or ZM.

 

The lens version of a tribute band? Maybe it will sing Abba songs as well as take pictures  :)

Maybe "The Adventures of Chairman Mao on the 'Long March'" set to "Dancing Queen"?

 

(Hope this comment doesn't fall awry of the Thought Constabulary here... ;) )

This 7artisans is a nice lens worth every bit of the $349.00

Very well made for an inexpensive lens.

After a couple test shots I'd say closer to f/1.0 than f/1.1

 

 

One thing that surprised me was the little screwdriver included and a focus chart that lets you adjust your own damn front and back focus. I like that.

 

Another surprise is a clickless aperture ring which I don't like.

 

I'll post a few shots later.

Mine has the focus chart but did not have the little screwdriver. 

Agree that the click less aperture is not something that I like, either.

Yes, I noted that.

Easier/cheaper to manufacture. At 350$ something's gotta give...

And makes it more appealing to some of those who plan to use the lens for video.

Just to confirm that the aperture is "clickless". The reason I ask is that I have ordered the lens from Amazon,

but if it is clickless I will cancel the order. That would drive me nuts.

Yes, it is click less.  One kind of gets used to it.

My two bits worth: there remains virtue in imperfect lenses. If you use and like its rendering,

then more power to you, the heck with Leica metrics! Buy and try. Many early Leica lenses

are 'inferior' and some people fawn all over their outcomes.

 

I have 'good' Leica lenses but have recently enjoyed a Sonnetar 50mm f1.1 which has a strange

rear-element dial to customize rendering.

 

Life is short. Try and listen to your heart.
