I will look forward to reading your comments once you have had the chance to carry out some useful comparison images. I don't really care too much about whether or not it performs the same, better or worse than the Leica original; in terms of rendering I like a very broad spectrum of different lens 'signatures' from the clinical to the, erm, 'characterful' so regardless of how it draws I'm sure it will find its proper place. Yes; good news about the hood being included in the price! As far as finish goes; from a purely personal perspective the silver-chrome will suit me fine as I will be using it primarily with a silver-chrome Monochrom but I can understand that black-chrome would have been an extremely popular option. Perhaps they will bring one out if the demand proves to be there? It will be very interesting to see when we and our fellow forumites start to receive their lenses!

erniethemilk Posted December 14, 2021 Share #123 Posted December 14, 2021 I’m hoping a mate of mine who reviews lenses will have one in hand in the next couple of weeks and I can borrow it for a few days to try out. Haven’t pre-ordered one, but it’s piqued my interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanH Posted January 2, 2022 Share #129 Posted January 2, 2022 I enjoyed the Mr Leica review and description of this new lens. I’ve been considering the Summaron 28/5.6 for a while but never was brave enough to purchase in either LTM or M-mount. I’d be keen to understand if there would be any visible difference between the TT artisans and Summaron 28mm on film? I sometimes believe that on film some aspects just can’t be seen compared to high-res digital sensors. I note that this lens looks more inclined to flare compared to the Summaron.

Ray Vonn Posted January 2, 2022 Share #130 Posted January 2, 2022 With this lens, shooting at F8 with a preset focusing distance of 2.5 metres, the area that should be focus on a FF rangefinder should range between approx 1.5 to 9 metres away from the lens. So I would like to see how the image is rendered under these settings towards the further distance of that range. Would the resulting image be that different to a Summaron current/LTM version or any other 28mm LTM/ M mount lens for that matter? That’s the crucial thing for me so it will be interesting to see.

squarenegs Posted January 5, 2022 Share #131 Posted January 5, 2022 It's been ages since I last posted in the Forum. My TTArtisan 28mm f.6 arrived this morning and the weather here is so dark, cold and unpleasant I opted to try it around the house on my M9 I will give it a go outdoors on my 240 later. It's dark in my basement, hence 1600ISO The corners improve some stopping down from f5.6 to f8.0 but remain mushy. I didn't notice much change in centre sharpnessbetween the two. Using the hood would have reduced flare from the overhead lights. I selected an Elmarit 21mm lens code but intend on experimenting with others. Post was done in ACR 9.1.1I have no complaits about distortion. I feel I have gotten more than my money's worth. Here's a link to Wetransfer where you can download my DNG file to play with: https://we.tl/t-bvBJryqRDu Wishing everyone a happy and productive 2022 Welcome, dear visitor!

erniethemilk Posted January 7, 2022 Share #132 Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) So, has anyone else picked up this lens. Wondered what peoples feelings were who have used it.

The Summaron is a HIGH-contrast lens. The Summaron has falloff. But falloff does not mean “soft” nor “Low contrast”. It means that it vaccuums the attention to the center of the image. Adds a mood. I do 100% agree with this! I have both here for side by side comparison. The TTARTISAN and the Summaron. The Summaron is sharper and does shoe more microcontrast. With that saying the TTARTISAN shows good sharpness too. Also in the corners. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! The TTARTISAN is almost without any vignetting.

Rubbish and do you always speak for other posters? All that stuff is pure assumption but what i am asking the other poster [not you] is what difference he noticed? i meant what difference without taking the lens apart or visiting the respective production lines.

As I said, the TTArtisan is quite well built. The Leica although has cleaner engravings (as I produced pack shots with a macro it got quite obvious….nothing to be concerned in daily use…so far), the aperture ring has cleaner clicks (don’t know how to explain it) and doesn‘t feel to loose, the infinity lock (whether you like it or not) is pretty useless with the TTArtisan. It doesn‘t take much to push it out of the lock. Speaking of infinity: In infinity position, the rangefinder is completely of with the TTArtisan. Okay 5.6 at near infinity is no problem at all in the end (in the picture) but looking through the viewfinder it irritated me. After on day of using the lenshood of the TTArtisan shows „lot of“ brass….no I didn‘t bumped it around. All in all the Summaron is built with more accuracy. But again, it is not a bad lens by any means. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
