New 35 Double Aspherical knockoff on the horizon...

[f.hayek]

Looks like TTArtisans is joining the enigmatic "Mr Zhou" and his vanished sidekick Kevin in the "Imitation Game".

Not clear yet if it's a novel design altogether or a tweaking of the original.

7 and TT are also working on M 28/5.6 (?imitations of the Leica?)

Been wondering which lenses from Leica’s past these vendors would copy next. Maybe a Thambar is in the future? Or a Doppel (sp?) two lenses in one mount for stereo pairs?

I appreciate anyone who is providing more of the tiny RF lenses.
It is keeping RF tradition, while huge bokeh monsters are not.

This one could be interesting. A 35AA for. what, $500-600?

7 or TT artisans has its own design team and quality OME manufacture.

I hope that 7 or TT will not double the price of a lens after some initial sales.

Only LLL does that Raid...

Now you can get a Chinese imitation electric Beetle to drive the 35AA knockoff home from UPS.

You have two options, you can preorder the 1.8M Red flag S9 or a cardboard Ferrari cover for less than $100.
