Quirky Lens

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.

About 7artisans Photoelectric 50mm f/1.1 Lens for Leica M Mount - Black

The 7Artisans M50mm F1.1 lens has an optical system consisting of 7 elements in 6 groups and is based on the Sonnar formula. It includes two high refraction optical elements of index 1.9 to improve picture quality and lens portability. Our R&D process involved analysis of field curvature and image astigmatism influence on the image's out of focus areas. Numerous corrections and improvements were made resulting in a higher quality image.

Using the lens wide open at an aperture of F/1.1 delivers soft and pleasant bokeh. Stopped down to F1.4, sharpness is improved while keeping smooth out-of-focus areas. Repetitive corrections of spherical and chromatic aberration lead to precisely controlled bokeh shape, and good contrast and sharpness in the focus area of this large aperture lens.
