Camera + Lens for this Video: Sony A74 + 18mm f/2.8 Battis Reviewed: 7artisan 35mm f/2 Camera Tested On: Leica M10 - Black Chrome Microphones: Rode Wireless GO (Version 1)
I was really looking forward for them to come out with something like this. I've noticed that they've come out with really interesting things as of late (and crazy good value) and was wondering if they'd release at some point a F2 range of primes... glad to see that they did, and even happier to hear that it keeps up with the upward trend of the company. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
Eric I really enjoy your channel, you are like the everyday man of reviews. Most of this guys are so heavy on technical info and less on just GO SHOOT. I also think it's cool that you use your kids as models which is a nice change from brick walls or focus charts lol.
Thank you for the good review. I enjoyed watching it and I’m always curious about new M lenses. I must say I tried a few ttartisan and 7artisan lenses. They were not bad at all with some interesting characteristics but overall not on par with my Voigtlander lenses to my eyes. I spent so much on my Leica m body that I find the artisans lenses too much of a compromise for me.
Eric did you have to calibrate this lens before you used it on your leica ? one video a film user states it needed to be calibrated and its easy to do if you have a leica digital.
FYI - I just got a 'production' version of the Lens from China. It has the small focus tab and the larger one is included. (My first impression is the small one feels fine)
If someone can afford to spend between 6K to 9K for a Leica M body, why would they want to put a $300 dollar lens (no matter how good) to put on it? It would be like putting aftermarket seat covers from the Dollar Store after you purchased a Tesla.

Not everyone is shooting M digital. Not everyone buys new. Not everyone must have the absolute best and latest. As an example, at one point I've owned four M-mount bodies, and had a single Leica-made lens between them.
Always laugh about this kind of comment. The best lens is the one you like and use most. From my experience, it is often a less expensive M lens actually.
I plan to shoot it on a 70 years old analog Leica M3. So far it seems to be a great lens. If I had 9K for an M10 I'd probably also get a Leica 35mm f1.4 ASPH or something like that. But my name is not Rockefeller 😅
