I was after a manual 35mm lens for my Fujifilm lineup and there's a sea of them out there. I own vintage Olympus 35mm & a Leica Leitz Summicron 35mm. But they are heavy and pretty big with the adapters. So I got a used 7artisans 35mm1.2 mark2 for 80 euros.
After just a few minutes with it I was in love. It’s by far the best manual lens I've tried. Great built, small, smooth focus ring and great optically.
It optically beats all my vintage optically from Konicam Olympus and Leitz/Leica.
I find it optically better than the new Voigtländer 35mm 1.2 nokton X from f1.2 to f2.
The rendering is old school but the sharpness is there. Looks great to.
