So what is special about this lens? Hamish says in the blog note, that "this 7Artisans lens is a limited edition 1 of 10 champaign gold 50mm 1.1. There is now, and only ever will be 10 of these lenses – they are numbered." Hamish also notes on his shop, "the 7Artisans 50mm F/1.1 is currently the lowest cost M-Mount lens on the market – which being as it is a 50mm f/1.1 lens is quite a remarkable feat." There is a 35mmc review of this lens here.
The charities he will be donating to are the Disabled Photographers Society and a hostel local to him that runs a creative group.
As previously covered here, the 35mmc blog writes about 35mm compact film cameras.
