UPHOLD THE SPIRIT OF CRAFTMANSHIP
7Artisans is a group of camera enthusiasts who came together for a dinner in Summer of 2015. They discussed their passions over the dinner table.
Some were interested in optical design while others were more skilled at running factory production lines, and one was an avid Leica lens collector. Discover how 7Artisans can elevate your images through high quality lenses.

That story began with testing prototypes and identifying problems, improving on designs, as well as streamlining assembly and identifying further issues. We harnessed these problem solving opportunities to strengthen our existing ideas, and come up with entirely new ones. The cycle of trial and error never ceased.
Years passed since our initial prototype. By September 2016 we reached a total of 100 mass production unit samples of the 50mm f/1.1 lens. We originally started with many members, but part of them left the project due to the long product development cycle. By the time production completed, only 7 members remained.
