He has a gold one - I have 2 of the 10. One for me, the other I’m going to auction and give the profits to charity. It’s very bling, but actually really nice!

Those results look pretty standard to me - for the most part, they aren't out of focus, they are just unsharp. My best guess is that "glow" is caused by spherical aberrations - You would be better off with the voigtlander 50mm 1.1, if that's the sort of photography you wish to shoot. At 1.1, the...

The 35mm in the Nikon l35 is supposed to be a Sonnar - I have a formula diagram for the 7Artisans lens, but they’ve said they don’t want me to share it yet... I will as soon as I can

Hey @Brian, good news! ;) In other news, I posted a list a little like this on RFF yesterday- Stephen banned my and deleted all of my posts since 2008... so do let me know if I ever step over the line here...

Haha, I think your an expert, and I'm told I am one too, therefore I must know what I am talking about! ;) I have sent them that link - cross your fingers! ;)

I’ve asked if they mind me sending it on, else I’ll send you a production one to “try before you buy” from stock when I get it Brian - I owe you a favour or two ;)

I know what it’s going to retail for, but can I ask what you would be happy to pay?

Hi all, Thought a few readers here (I'm looking at you @Brian) might be interested to know that the forthcoming 7Artisans 35mm f/2 is a 7/5 Sonnar design. I've been playing with a prototype and have just published a post with a few more details here Hope you guys don't mind the brazen...

Thanks, Brian!

Would it be inappropriate to mention here that I am now geared up for shipping these to the states 7Artisans / DJ Optical 50mm f/1.1 lens - 35mmc Shop I'm expecting a pre-production sample of the 35mm f/2 soon too :)

I can well imagine - I have a Jupiter-8m squeezed into an industar-26 by a crazy Russian that Brian rebuilt for me. It's a wonderful thing (There is a post coming soon about that lens btw, Brian, the 50 1.2 just jumped the queue) Excellent, cheers for that!!

I'm hoping to get more answers out of DJ-Optical - I have an open WeChat between me them and a chap who's translating for me, it's obviously gone quiet over the weekend. All of your queries are in the pile, Brian. I suspect the price increase is a dealer thing... If you want to email me a...

Hi all, I hope it's ok to post this here - I have just posted my first part of an ongoing review - DJ-Optical / 7Artisans 50mm f/1.1 (ongoing) Review - 35mmc

MacFilos is a great site - Mike's a good guy. I owe him lunch, as it goes... Urg, my old blog ... that's nearly a decade old that post. I try not to look at it, it makes me cringe, but equally, I can't bring myself to take it down. Is this recently? I'm pleased to hear it's still of use after...

Hello all, First I must admit, I'm more of a reader of forums that a contributor these days. Though I have been drawn into this one by what appears to be a friendly community, etc. Big Leica shooter - M9, M9M, M3 & M-A. Primarily shoot Zeiss ZM lenses, but also have a penchant for a 50mm...

Hi Brian, Is this a common trick - I assume it sets the drew in place but is readily broken in case it needs undoing? :)
