This product is a 35mm F2.8 manual focus prime lens that combines an appearance that blends well with classic camera bodies with a slim and lightweight design that makes it easy for everyday use.

What is the 7Artisans 35mm f/2.8?
A slim, lightweight, and compact design that makes you want to take it with you everywhere.
With its slim and lightweight design, measuring approximately Φ50 x 20mm and weighing about 88g, it can be easily carried around even when attached to a camera. Whether you’re carrying it in your bag or wearing it around your neck while walking around town, it feels effortless. You’ll naturally want to point your camera at scenes you discover during a walk or landscapes that catch your eye while traveling. The lens barrel, made of metal, is compact yet boasts a solid feel and durability.

Because it’s a 35mm F2.8 lens, you can capture everyday moments in a pleasing way.
35mm is an easy-to-use focal length that provides a natural perspective close to human vision. Neither too wide nor too narrow, it’s versatile enough for street photography, travel scenes, spending time with friends, and documenting daily life. The wide aperture of F2.8 allows you to enhance your subject while also enjoying a soft, three-dimensional effect. It’s an easy-to-use lens that will become increasingly useful not only for special shoots but also in everyday life.


The enjoyment of operation is a key feature of manual focus.
The 7Artisans 35mm f/2.8 employs manual focus (MF) and also supports rangefinder coupling. Furthermore, it features a focusing lever, allowing for intuitive and quick focusing. It also incorporates an infinity lock mechanism to prevent the focus ring from moving unintentionally during transport. The design prioritizes user enjoyment, making even the pre-shooting actions feel comfortable.

A classic camera body with an appearance that blends seamlessly into nature.
The lens barrel features a simple yet sophisticated design, carefully crafted to harmonize with classic camera bodies. Its slim profile ensures that it doesn’t detract from the camera’s overall silhouette when attached, resulting in a seamless integration with the body. This lens is recommended for those who value not only practicality as a photographic tool but also the aesthetic satisfaction of holding it.

With accessories included, the possibilities for how you use it are endless.
Two types each of lens hoods, front caps, and rear caps are included. Furthermore, an ultra-thin UV protective filter, approximately 1mm thick, is also included, protecting the front of the lens without compromising the overall appearance. The ability to choose combinations according to your needs and preferences expands the enjoyment of using the lens. A rangefinder coupling adjustment chart and screwdriver are also included, allowing for fine-tuning of the rangefinder coupling mechanism. A Leica M-mount conversion ring is also included for L39 mount lenses, allowing for flexible use depending on the camera being used.

With its classic camera-friendly look, lightweight and portable size, and the practical 35mm focal length perfect for everyday use, the 7Artisans “35mm F2.8” lens is designed for those who want to enjoy photography more casually and intimately. It aims to offer a new photographic experience that makes taking out your camera a joy.
