7Artisans presents the streamlined 35mm f/5.6 Pancake Lens, an easy-to-carry option for Leica M-mount cameras. It consists of an optical construction of five components in four clusters, including two ED ultra-low dispersion glass components, that successfully minimize chromatic aberration resulting in very little color distortion. With an f/5.6 aperture at its peak, it offers varied depth of field options, a delicate blur effect, and produces a subtle circular spot exhibiting minor vignetting for a retro-style impression. Fine-tuning focus is manual, offering a closest focal distance of 11.8 inches.
Many thanks to its compact, pancake-like form, it's feasible to slip a camera body and this lens into a deep pocket or a on-shoulder bag. The attractive black along with silver design either matches or enhances the design of the camera body, and a built-in lens cover safeguards the anterior component from dirt and potential harm.
