Literally a few minutes after I published my previous blog post, I got a notification about the official announcement of the new limited-edition 7Artisans × Seagull M 35mm f/1.7 silver lens for Leica M-mount. You can now purchase one of the 500 limited-edition lenses on the official 7artisans website. The price is $369.
You can use the discount code RUMORS for 5% off when you purchase through this link.
The lens is developed through a collaboration between Shenzhen-based 7Artisans and Shanghai Seagull Digital Camera Co., Ltd. (China’s oldest camera manufacturer, famous for its TLR cameras):
A black version of the lens was announced back in 2024:
