Please post images taken with your manual focus 7Artisans/TTArtisan/DJ Optical lens or lenses. What qualifies as DJ Optical isn't clean cut. @SonnarGauss pointed out here:

https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1934601/1#17048737

Artizlab/Funleader, Mandler (rebranded Polar), and Peace use the DJ Optical factory. A reddit post with a Leica Discord screenshot claims the same (feel free to ignore if you're not a fan):

https://www.reddit.com/r/Leica/comments/1sigmqh/light_lens_lab_employee_exposes_polar_mandler/

When there's money involved, every company in the world uses their strategic advantage(s) for profit, so please refrain from "knock-off" or "that should be illegal" discussion and focus on posting images.

Obviously these lenses are **NOT** for everyone, but as a hobbyist with emphasis on hobby, I appreciate the price/performance. And as someone with more than a fair share of character flaws, I often gravitate towards flawed lenses. ¯_(ツ_/¯

Picked up a 7Artisans 35mm f/2 Wen II M for $208 last week after reading this:

Nice set! You should embed a couple of the images here. Love the shot of the men marching with rifles.

7Artisans 75mm f/1.25 II (M mount)

513g/71mm. Unbalanced (front heavy) on Nikon Zf, and don't think many would use for landscapes. But respectable at f/8.

Wide open you're going to get purple fringing, which is not surprising. I prefer B&W, so not a problem for me.
