"The 7Artisans 35mm f/2.8 has some stiff competition, from the Cosina Voigtländer 35mm f/2.5 Color Skopar to the Mandler 35mm f/2 (which is also an LTM lens!) amongst others, but of all the similar lenses which you can actually buy new, this 7Artisans optic trumps them all in terms of size, and bests many in overall performance. This isn’t the greatest 35mm lens every made but I think that’s fine; many more compromises might have been made to furnish such a compact lens, and I’m glad that the lens remains competent (to put it lightly)."
