A group of Chinese camera enthusiasts gathered together for a dinner in Summer 2015. They were discussing 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. Everyone participated came to same conclusion; “If we involve our skills and work together, we can create new original camera lenses.” That is how 7Artisans Project began.
2015
ATTEMPT
At the early stages many different people joined the project gradually forming the initial team. It expected to be long journey to reach their dream. That story began with testing prototypes and identifying problems, improving design as well as streamlining assembly and identifying further issues. We used the opportunities to fix problems as a way of further improvement of our ideas. Try and error cycles never stopped.
INSIST
Years passed since our initial prototype. By September 2016 we reached 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 long product development cycle. By the time production completed only 7 members remained.
THE BIRTH OF
And now each production packaging of the 50mm f/1.1 lens says, “7Artisans (Chinese: Seven Craftsmen)”. This is in honor of the members who believed in the project from the beginning and embodied the spirit of "Craftsmen". For this confidence and determination we are named 7Artisans.
Since that time, our company has been managing to achieve unprecedented success in lens manufacturing. Our company's line has 12 different models of lenses for mirrorless cameras such as Sony, Fujifilm, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Olympus, and Leica. We will try our best to present you with the most cost-effective lenses.
