7artisans announces $299 28mm F5.6 rangefinder-coupled lens for Leica M-mount

Optics manufacturer 7artisans has announced its latest lens, a 28mm F5.6 manual prime for Leica M-mount camera system.

7artisans says this lens was ‘born for street photography’ with the intention of ‘captur[ing] the decisive moment with hyperfocal focusing.’ the lens is constructed of just six elements in four groups, including one high-refractive element and two extra-low dispersion elements.

The lens is rangefinder-coupled and features a unique infinity lock for securing the focus to infinity. It features both a clicked aperture ring and a focus ring with knurled grips. Other features include an aperture range of F5.6 through F22, a 35.5mm front filter thread, an eight-blade aperture diaphragm with a unique petal shape when stopped down and a 1m (3.3') minimum focusing distance.

It’s entirely constructed of metal and measures 38mm (1.5") in diameter by 44mm (1.7") long and weighs 130g (4.6oz).

7artisans has the 28mm F5.6 Leica M-mount lens available to purchase for $299 on its online shop.
