Review Summary

The lens is a bit quirky wide open at f/1.1. The images have a razor thin depth of field with soft, glowy edges and a velvety smooth bokeh. But I like the way the lens renders wide open! I’ve used the lens for several portrait/fashion assignments to achieve a dreamy look (in-camera as opposed to software). I knew this lens would NOT replace my regular setup, but I decided to take a chance on an affordable f/1.1 option. I’ve been rather pleased with my decision.

What sets the 7Artisans M50mm F1.1 lens apart is its advanced optical system, designed with a meticulous focus on image quality and lens portability. This exceptional lens, specifically designed for the Leica M, is based on the renowned Sonnar formula and comprises seven elements in six groups. It includes two high-refraction optical elements with an index of 1.9, a feature that significantly enhances picture quality and ensures the lens remains compact and easy to handle.
During the research and development phase, our team conducted an in-depth analysis of field curvature and image astigmatism, studying their impact on the out-of-focus areas of the image. This rigorous process led to numerous corrections and improvements, resulting in a lens that delivers superior image quality.
When used wide open at an aperture of F/1.1, the 7Artisans M50mm F1.1 lens produces soft and pleasing bokeh, adding an artistic touch to your photography. When stopped down to F1.4, the lens sharpens, enhancing image clarity while maintaining smooth out-of-focus areas.
The lens also features repetitive corrections of spherical and chromatic aberration, leading to a precisely controlled bokeh shape. This, coupled with excellent contrast and sharpness in the focus area, makes the 7Artisans M50mm F1.1 lens a standout choice for photographers seeking a large aperture lens.
In essence, the 7Artisans M50mm F1.1 lens for Leica M, available in a sleek silver finish, combines innovative design, superior craftsmanship, and high-quality optics to deliver exceptional performance in a compact package.
