TTArtisan M 28mm f/5.6 Black Brass Patina for Leica M

The TTArtisan M 28mm f/5.6 is a visually very appealing and not everyday vintage lens, yet very light and compact. Its discreet appearance makes it ideal for use in street and/or people photography, without being distracting or obtrusive.
It will not only win over photographers of all generations because of its optics and image look, but the modern construction, nostalgically packaged, does the rest. And in addition to the silver aluminium version, there is now also a brass version in black lacquer. Over time, traces of brass come back through through use, creating an attractive and unique vintage look.

At first you might think: "only' f/5.6 - but that's exactly the advantage. The a priori strong depth of field makes handling in street photography so decisively easier and popular! The photographer does not have to constantly keep an eye on the technique, but concentrates on the impressions that are important to him.

In purely technical terms, we're talking about a mere 151 grams packed into a very attractive black brass housing that is just 51 millimetres in diameter and only 19 millimetres long.

Nevertheless, this little flyweight houses an impressive optical design of seven elements arranged in four groups. Among them are two high refractive index elements and one low dispersion element, which effectively suppress colour differences and keep spherical aberrations at bay.

The lens is a lightweight flyweight, but it still packs an impressive optical design of seven elements arranged in four groups.

Depending on the application, it is handy that the lens also has a 37mm front thread. Another useful tool is a lever with which you can fix the infinity setting. This distance is often preselected, especially in street photography. With this fixation option, there can be no accidental adjustment when you are 'In Action'.

Aperture and focus adjustment is manual.
