75mm F1.25 Leica M Mount II

7Artisans 75mm f/1.25 Mark II for Leica M

Reimagined for 2026 — an ultra-fast full-frame portrait lens with refined performance and classic M-mount character.

The 7Artisans 75mm f/1.25 Mark II is a full-frame portrait lens for the Leica M mount, redesigned and refined for 2026. Building on the character and appeal of the original, the Mark II introduces a series of meaningful updates that improve usability and optical consistency while preserving the distinctive rendering that made the lens so popular.

Why we love it

The Mark II strikes a rare balance: it keeps the bold, expressive look of the original while feeling noticeably more refined in daily use.

It’s a lens with personality—but now with polish.
