7Artisans 35mm f/2 rangefinder coupled lens pre-production preview and sample photos



35mmc published their first quick preview with some sample photos of the previously rumored 7Artisans 35mm f/2 rangefinder coupled lens. Their conclusion:

“One thing to bear in mind – as mentioned – 7Artisans 35mm f/2 is not going to give you modern objectively perfect results. It’s a 7/5 Sonnar design, even if the results are different in the final version, they’re still not going to compare in the conventionally ideal image quality states to a asph-cron (for eg). On one hand what we do have here is shaping up to be a really nice entry level 35mm fast(ish) lens for those on a budget. On the other hand a lens that’s going to have stacks of character to please the likes of me.”
