Some more Details on the 7Artisans 50/1.1

[pk851667]

Pardon my silliness on this one - but I've been having some serious focusing issues on mine and also SEVERE vignetting. I'm using it on my M5.

I think it's in need of some serious calibration but there are two issues:
-It was bought used, so I don't have the charts
-I have no idea how to calibrate a lens on a film rangefinder...

Little help from anyone here?

DO NOT USE IT ON THE M5!!!

The back of the lens will hit the meter stalk and can damage it.

The M5 is not on the list of Leica cameras that 7Artisans says it will work with.

Got mine in silver today for a silver M10. - What a nice lens! Much better than every copy of the Nokton 50mm I ever had and calibrated perfectly from the start. - And not as bulky.

I once had the MS Optical 50mm 1,1. As much as I loved the weight and size, it was a pain to handle and IQ was... Well...

This lens just got a ticket to go with me to Japan im May and July.
