I had a blast today checking out my latest M mount lens, the 7Artisans 35mm f/2.
I must say I'm impressed; while it's of course no equal to more expensive lenses, it's a pretty good lens - and I enjoy the results. I also shot with two of my other 35mm M mount lenses, the Voigtländer 35mm f/1.4 Nokton Classic M.C. and the Zeiss Biogon C 35mm f/2.8. The 7Artisans beats the Voigtländer in terms of sharpness and correction at equivalent apertures (except for distortion; there is CA and soap bubble bokeh, but it's nowhere near as rampant and wild as with the Voigtländer). The Zeiss is superior, with great sharpness, contrast and colour, but it's also a smidgen bigger and one stop slower. All in all, the little 7Artisans is a pleasant surprise.

For comparison's sake, here's one from the Zeiss.

PP with darktable, more or less identical (same workflow, some slightly different values).
