6bit Posted July 28, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I mounted the 7Artisans 1.1/50mm on my SL today. It wouldn't focus to infinity. The rear element protrudes back far enough to make contact with the inside of the camera. This caught me by surprise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 28, 2018 Posted July 28, 2018 Hi 6bit, Take a look here FYI: 7Artisans 50/1.1 doesn't focus to Infinity with SL. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
DavidG Posted May 17, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 17, 2019 I've just done the same. On looking closely the rear element of the lens is slightly unscrewed. Tightening it up made infinity possible but still a bit snug. It's only a fraction of an inch, trying to summon up courage to file the unscrewable casing down a bit. Anyone tried this??

satijntje Posted May 18, 2019 Share #5 Posted May 18, 2019 A well know issue. 7artisans however promised to modify the lens when I send it back. The 35 and 28mm 7artisans however have no problems. Same problem with the 50mm 1,1 with the CL as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvin Posted May 24, 2019 Share #6 Posted May 24, 2019 I bought my from 7artisan directly and arrived with modification for my SL. Worked perfectly. This was discussed in one of the thread on the forum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After careful consideration i have just modified my 7 artisans 50 1.1. It took 5 min, very little chance of damaging the lens. I filed a chamfer about 15-20 mm long on the edge of the lens barrel at the top and bottom where it contacted the sensor surround. Works a treat Edited June 30, 2020 by Leica993 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
6bit Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted July 12, 2020 Can you post a photo of your finished lens? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues_junkie Posted August 19, 2020 Share #9 Posted August 19, 2020 I have a short macro extension ring for the M, so attaching that before the L/M adaptor, then the 1.1 should focus it to infinity.... ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
