I very recently bought the TTArtisan 28mm f5.6 lens and I love it. REALLY love it. Aside from the gorgeous and abominable included lens hood the lens is stellar. For $10 I got a screw on lens hood which works wonderfully. When 7Artisans introduced their 28mm lens I wondered if the larger lens would be better. Thanks so much for this review which stopped my palms from sweating.

I have 3 TTA Lenses (APS-C) 23/1.4, 35/1.4, 50/1.2 all black. The M-Mount Series however, the 28/5.6 M 7Artisans is optically a bit weird, but better Optics than the TTA 28/5.6 M, which looks from the outside like a Leica Summaron-M 28/5.6 II Clone. For the record, the 7Artisans 35/1.4 M is also from it's looks a bit odd, but optically also better, sharper, better Microcontrast (check ErickPhoto 1:1 comparsion - 2020, btw) vs. the TTA 35/1.4 M, therefore, i bought the 7A Lens into 2021.

It seems that the lens is modelled after the Minolta CLE Rokkor 28mm which also brings up the 35mm frame lines on the M mount bodies. As much as there was a Minolta Leica co-operation, even then, there were anomalies in standardization. As for my lens, I get the 35mm frame lines on my M2 rather than the 90 I would expect. It doesn't matter as I am just using the full finder as a guide for framing which works fine.

Thanks for that - glad I've got the TTArtisan 28mm f5.6 already! Looks like 7Artisans have lost their way a bit - the 28mm f1.4 is superb but has a lot of gravity so don't carry it around as much as I could and I've got one of their earlier Leica lenses - the 35mm f2 (that they don't offer any more) that is excellent and I do drop in the bag and I've been hoping they would do 28 and 50mm f2's to complement it. Smaller and lighter is always good and it's an area of the budget end of the market that is (surprisingly?) empty.

Nice review. Question, how do you deal with uncoded 6-bit lenses? Do you set them to "uncoded" on the camera? Or do you use the closest Leica lens in he list? I ask because I have run into trouble using the closest Leica lens with a 6-bit flange attached or by manually entering it in the camera. I get darker images.

Yes they make f5.6-f8 28mm lenses as a walkabout P&S lens as most things are in focus. Try liberating and for all the street shooters using a fast 28mm at f8 this is what they should be using to enjoy a compact setup. (There is now a smaller f2.8 too , see my other videos)

Nothing looks super amazing with these cheapos. When it comes to 28mm I prefer to use the stellar Super-Angulon-M 1:4 lens on my M8. Just love the results. The nine aperture blades give nice sunstars, the close focus distance of 0.3 meters is superb for a M lens, sharpness is top notch, the bokeh and colour rendition is excellent. It also has absolutely no distortion thanks to the symmetrical design plus it is super short and compact. Build quality is top notch with its chrome finish.

A fellow came into our shop wanting to know if there were any other lenses for his Leica because the prices of Leica lenses were a bit too steep for him. The following conversation went something like this. Why would you buy a Porsche and then run around on (expletive deleted, this is a family show) remolded tires? The customer was then shown the door (thrown out), the manager, a very keen Leica user and friend of the then head of Leica, went into the office and spent the rest of the day sobbing in the corner rocking on his back clutching his knees and shouting why me? why me? why me? and smoking like a refinery fire. Leica tends to have that effect, I got the slight impression it was Leica or nothing, scary.

Only Leica v 3rd party lenses are not as different as prime and remould tyre.

I have got a range of lenses for my (second-hand) M10-P - a Voigtlander 15mm f4 and a 21mm f4 Color Skopar, a TTArtisan 28mm f5.6 and a 7Artisan f1.4 a 7Artisan 35mm f2, a Voigtlander 40mm Nokton Classic and 7Artisan 50mm f1.1 and 75mm f1.25 for a total of £2218 and can explore Leica use a lot more than if I just had (say) a used 35mm ASPH that would have cost me about the same.
