Mandler Heaven: pictures of, and by, lenses designed by Walter Mandler

[sleepyhead]

Hello All

I was surprised to find recently that there's no Walter Mandler Image tribute thread on RFF.

There is this discussion thread, with a list of Mandler lenses:
http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85861

So how about honouring a Great Lens Designer with some selected/quality pictures taken with "his" lenses?

And of his lenses.

I'll start:

First is a picture of my son taken with 1st version Tele-Elmarit "Fat" on a Leica M4.

Second is my pair of M4-Ps with 35mm Summicron IV and 75mm Summilux attached.

Please add your images to this thread.

Always like this shot from the 50/1.4 v2:

Here is a recent DR Summicron one:

And here is the 90/2 v3:

And last but not least my v3 35/2 (not in the above pic):

It might be obvious - I'm a Mandler fan

I've owned a 35mm Summilux pre-asph, and a 90mm Elmar 3-element. I liked the pre-asph. Haven't developed the photos from the Elmar yet. Was my 50 'cron V3 also designed by Mandler?

Yes. The only 50/2 not designed by his team is the collapsible.
