spydrxx Posted April 7, 2022 Share #263 Posted April 7, 2022 Mine came today. I took a series of shots with it on my Sony A7Rii, distant and close, mostly at f/5.6-8. Then put it on my M2 and checked the viewfinder against several aerial images. Infinity seemed a hair off, but the images were on target and sharp wide open, so I'm quite happy. Build seems very good, and focusing is really smooth. I haven't yet compared it to my 28 Biogon, but from today's quick tests I think this little lens is going to see a lot of use. My only regret is that it isn't available in an LTM mount, as I would love to use it on my Barnacks given its diminutive size and design. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted April 9, 2022 Share #264 Posted April 9, 2022 I received yesterday night the lens. I took a few pictures in my living room, so there is no shooting experience yet. Meanwhile, first quickly viewing and handling impressions: I like the building; it feels substantial in my hands. It's so tiny (w/o hood) that there is no VF blockage at all, which is impressive for a 28mm focal length. Indeed, the 'view' through the VF is vast, making the composing experience even better. The hood is horrible. I don't like the shape, it turns by itself quickly, and it's not easy to put and remove. And it arrived with the paint fell off in some part, lousy quality. I guess it will stay in the original box for all these reasons. The focus is smooth, and the infinity lock is adorable, like my 35/2 LLL. I'm busy in the following days, but I will go out and shoot once I have a chance. F8 and be there, you know! P.s. I forgot: I'm still in 'shock' being my first silver chrome lens But being tiny and with some black matte tape, I guess I can live with it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted April 9, 2022 Share #265 Posted April 9, 2022 By the way, how do you code the lens? Which 28 do you recommend? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would prefer 100 times a sharp/modern tiny lens with a lens hood paint loss, rather than a perfect aesthetics lens w/ focus shift 😂 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cboy Posted April 10, 2022 Share #268 Posted April 10, 2022 Anyone considering the 7artisan version? The fact it's in black suggests that maybe TTartisans won't do a black variant unfortunately which is why I held out hoping TTartisans would issue a black version too ....very similar lens grouping 7/4 vs 6/4 https://photorumors.com/2022/04/07/additional-information-on-the-upcoming-7artisans-28mm-f-5-6-lens-for-leica-m-mount/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I bought one of these just to see if it would be any 'better' than the one supplied; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123807639896 Pro's; it screws in! This also means I can hold my camera as I normally do without the fear that the hood will pop-off and fall into the Thames... Cons: It isn't as effective in its job, obviously, because the hood supplied is tailor-made for the lens. So far I've used the 'correct' hood more frequently. I don't find that it gets in my way when in use and it hasn't fallen off......yet. Have fun with your new lens; I love mine! Philip. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found this one on Amazon Mexico: https://www.amazon.com.mx/dp/B085TKRPVF?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_DXSB3VP194VS7X621R0P Not sure if it's the same but it will work fine being a vented 37mm hood. I will give it a try. 5 hours ago, pippy said: Have fun with your new lens; I love mine! I will! Next days I'm will be busy, but once I get the chance, I will go out and shoot.

Guest Posted April 22, 2022 Share #276 Posted April 22, 2022 wow, looks great...and brass.... 😳 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Posted April 22, 2022 Share #277 Posted April 22, 2022 (edited) I would prefer, w/o doubt, the black version instead. All my lenses are black, and I recently bought the silver because it was the only version available. Still happy. But seeing the IG picture above makes me think about two things: I hope it will not be like the low-quality material of the hood, which instead of patina, the painting is literally falling off. Second, someone in the factory works like Steven with the sandpaper to make the patina effect. It's not just marketing. I would not buy a new but already worn lens. Just saying.
