And it's 1/5 of the price of a new regular 35lux fle 😂

I'm not entirely convinced by the color rendering of this lens, but I'm keeping an open eye on pictures that'll convince me. Otherwise the rendering is as good as 35/1.4 can be. I've used systems that render extreme sharpness as well as lens that has the most beautiful bokeh at mid distance (where background is the transition zone). Neither gave me the color and contrast from a Leica lens.

The only bad about this lens is its size. Personally, I can't deal with lenses protruding into the frame lines. This is why I opted for more expensive and something like three times compact 35 1.4 II Nokton.

My favorite 35 is the cv 1.4/35 ii

I was ready to buy one of them but yesterday I find out that 7Artisans is going to release a new 35 1.4; I think I'll wait and see which one is better, although the TTartisan design is on another level.

 

Isn't that just for Sony E or Nikon Z mount? 

But reading though this thread I've been impressed with the examples and comments so I've ordered a TTartisans 35mm f/1.4 which I hope will be a nice counterpoint to my CV 35mm f/1.4 Nokton Single Coated Classic that I use with film. Maybe it will galvanise me to finally dump my 35mm Summicron ASPH.

Looks like the 7-A will be a large as the TT. After using the TT for a while, I still prefer the VC 35 1.4 II for normal use due to its size. On M10 I still choose the Summarit 2.5 over both.

However, both the Artisan brands are well made and perform well, at an incredible price point. If you weren't raised on small M lenses you may prefer them.

IQ comparison between the TT, Summarit and Voigtlander?

I bought this lens and adjusted the focus cam right away. I was very disappointed with the lens because it was soft wide open and was about to pass it on. Before putting it on that auction site I adjusted the focus cam again and like magic the lens came to life! It's sharp as a tack now. I've decided to keep it even though I have a Leica 35mm f1.4 asph. It's quite a good lens for the money just like all of the other 7Artisans and TTArtisans lens.

I'm waiting for mine to be shipped. Can you explain the process to adjust the focus cam or a link to a source? Thanks, Bruce

I like the way it draws, I like the focus transition, it's perfectly sharp in the center... there's not a lot to dislike here.

Glad to hear that. I just purchased the lens, it will arrive in a few weeks. Can't wait to use it, and mostly to understand if I made the right choice: I need a fast partner for my Zeiss 35/2.8 ZM.

How do you code the lens? Or better lens detection off?

Code it as Summilux 35 Asph.

This lens makes my Zeiss 35mm ZM f2 looks tiny, and it is already too long for my taste. I also prefer compact designs like the CV.
