Here is what we know so far about the new lens (check the official 7Artisans website for updates):

- Focus Type: fully rangefinder-coupled
- Minimum Focus Distance: 0.7 m
- Dimensions: Ultra-slim, only 20 mm thick
- Weight: 88 g (one of the lightest full-frame M-mount lenses available)

- Filter Support: exact thread size not yet listed
- Build & Aesthetic: All-metal retro/vintage styling inspired by golden-era rangefinder lenses (Leica Elmar influence)

살짝 뜬금없기는 하지만 7아티산에서 LTM 마운트용 35미리 F2.8 렌즈를 출시하려나 봅니다.
디자인도 클래식한 모습을 채용했던데, 아주 구형 RF 카메라들을 타겟으로 만든 것 같기도 하구요.
M마운트 유저들도 LTM 어댑터링을 끼우면 그만이니까요 ㅎㅎ
바르낙이나 보익 R 초기, 캐논 RF 등의 유저들에게 괜찮을 것 같습니다.
다만 가격이 생각보다 높다는 느낌..?
