I've included a link for a .DNG download of my image file. I got my lens on Monday Jan. 03/2022 Lovely build quality, decent (as expected) image quality and HUGE bang for my bucks! Regards Sam Thanks Sam for the quick review, I did see your post, that’s why I asked if anyone else had picked up the lens as well. There seems to be quite a bit of interest around it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Tolerances between the helicoid and the focusing mechanism and the mount. Choice of materials with regard to heat and cold and how they function. Glass formulas for the lens blanks. Coatings. Quality of the machined parts. Grind and polishing of the lens elements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Robert Posted January 17, 2022 Share #151 Posted January 17, 2022 Very interested in this lens, I'm looking for a 28mm and this might work good for me, now that I found an 35mm f2.8 Summaron which works great on my M8 with great color and contrast and sharpness. Finding this little gem my work out for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not have time to really use the lens since I got it as I have been busy with work. Welcome, dear visitor!

Nice Photos it looks great to me I like the second one because it show's a bit of the side light in the upper right corner that show's flare well control.

pippy Posted January 18, 2022 Share #153 Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) As some of the posters in this thread have written that they have received their copies I thought I'd ask whether anyone else who wrote that they had ordered one has received theirs? Out of curiosity I've just had a look on the 'Bay and there are no entries showing lenses currently available at all. There are only only four(worldwide!) entries which come up in my search even offering the lens and all show exactly the same stock images of the same numbered lens. All 4 are based in China and "estimated" delivery times range between 9 days and four weeks... Philip. Edited January 18, 2022 by pippy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted January 18, 2022 Share #154 Posted January 18, 2022 Pippy - direct sales went live on Monday. I had a heads-up from their customer service team when I asked them about production while resolving a FedEx issue on another order, and placed an order with them yesterday. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ko.Fe. Posted January 18, 2022 Share #155 Posted January 18, 2022 BH has it listed as coming soon. I'd rather wait and get it from them and have no issues with shipping. 298 USD... Is it made with glass or plastic? Where are some talks about plastic use in cheap lenses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted January 18, 2022 Share #156 Posted January 18, 2022 It's brass-bodied and made with glass...even the hood is brass AFAIK. I pre-ordered with B+H but imagine they have a long list. Expedited shipping was about the same as NYC sales tax and I'll hopefully get it quicker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted January 21, 2022 Share #157 Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Mine is now en route from Shenzhen and has reached the Japan Fedex hub so I'm guessing it will be here long before B+H notify me that it's finally available to collect instore in NYC...

Interesting. After your post #154 when you mentioned placing your order I sent an e-mail to Pergear (who seem to be handling the pre-orders from not just myself but a few other members here) informing them of the situation as discussed. This was the message I received by way of a reply; "In these few weeks, we've send lots of email to TTArtisan product department, and the answer is the same. There is a large backlog; "...due to the lack of raw materials causing the delivery delay..."..." I'm sure Pergear are just as keen as I am for deliveries from TTA to be received by themselves so that they can ship them out to those who have ordered one but it seems a bit unprofessional of TTA not to have fulfilled outstanding orders before selling these lenses on the open market. Philip. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NigelG Posted January 21, 2022 Share #159 Posted January 21, 2022 Well I took the view that if I ordered directly from the manufacturer I might get it sooner - on the basis that unlike Leica they don’t actually have a dealer network who need to keep regular customers happy. All 3rd party sales presumably net them a lower price… Or maybe as I previously ordered direct from TT Artisan on Shopify maybe I qualify as a “preferred customer” 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pippy Posted January 22, 2022 Share #160 Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Well; "Talk of the Devil" / "Cause and Effect"?... This morning, four hours after having written my post #158 (and at 03:30 so the notification to my 'phone woke me up!.....grrrr...), I received this automated update from Pergear; "Your order is on the way!...Your order is on the way. Track your shipment to see the delivery status...." I have not yet checked to see whether it's still in China; in transit heading this way or wherever but at least I know it's now on its way to me... Philip. EDIT : Having just checked the Tracking Number on the WanbExpress website(*) it has an entry underneath the heading; "Origin (Carrier) / GB : United Kingdom"; "Lastest Event --21-12-16 02:05----Parcel Data Received" As a guess does that simply mean that a UK postal carrier has received notification that the parcel is on its way?... Philip. * New to me! Has anyone used them previously? Any experiences to share?... Edited January 22, 2022 by pippy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
