Characterized by its fast design, the black, Leica L-mount 55mm f/1.4 Lens from 7artisans is a compact portrait-length prime well-suited for available-light photography. Its bright f/1.4 maximum aperture benefits working in low lighting and also enables isolating subject matter using selective focus and shallow depth of field. The six elements, five groups optical design is enhanced with a multi-layer coating that helps to suppress flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color rendering in a variety of lighting conditions. Additionally, the manual focus design of the lens permits working with subjects as close as 1.1' away and its 14-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
