“WEN” series<\/h3>\n\n
The design of the 7artisans “WEN ” series is mainly used for street and culture photography. Compared with the other lenses of the 7artisans, the Wen series lens has a red seal of the word “WEN ” in the lens body. The members in the WEN series use some kind of “internal focus” design: the length of the lens does not change when focusing. The following slider shows the state of the lens at infinity and 0.7 meter:<\/p>\n\n

Adjustment of the rangfinder coupling<\/h3>\n\n
When I received the lens, I tired it on a Leica M10. I found the rangefinder patch was a little bit off when focused at infinity. There are four flat screws on the brass coupling cam which are used for adjusting the coupling. Loosen the four screws using the screwdriver comes with the package, adjust the postition of the coupling cam until the patch overlaps.<\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lensfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/7artisans-35mm-F2-WEN-rear-1024x1024.jpg\")

Chromatic aberrations<\/em><\/h2>\n\nChromatic aberrations of this lens was pretty minor. In extreme cases, there will be some visible CA. The photo below is a 100% crop close to the center of the frame under extreme case.<\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lensfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/7Artisans-M35mm-F2.0-WEN-CA_center-1024x1024.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\nFlare resistance<\/h2>\n\n
A short hood is built-in into the lens. There is no need for an addition hood under most situation. If there is a strong light source in front of the lens, you need to pay attention to whether there will be flare.<\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lensfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/7Artisans-M35mm-F2.0-WEN-flare-1024x1024.jpg\")

This lens has a slight amount of barrel distortion which is common for a 35mm. Vignetting can be seen to in the following photo:<\/p>\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lensfever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/7Artisans-M35mm-F2.0-WEN-distortion-1024x683.jpg\")

<\/figure>\n\nSummary<\/h2>\n\n
What impressed me most during the use of this lens was the improvement of the color contrast of the lens. The colors of the old version are relatively calm which are good for black and white photography. The new Wen version has much better colors which make it a better performer for color photography, especially night photography.<\/p>\n\n
