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

I have some more shots on a roll that I`ve yet to finish.
In many ways its an ideal length for a lot of what I do and I`ve always like the short tele lenses anyway.

Early days though for me with this lens

A nice crop of recent photos added to this thread. Keep 'em coming!

I have been using my Mandler-designed 135mm f/2.8 Elmarit-M lately (the big one with the goggles). I will try to post some pictures from it soon.

Any Mandler lens, or???

Do you have one in particular in mind?

I have a 1953 collapsible Summicron 50mm; I don't know if that's a Mandler design or not, but I don't think so. Nevertheless it behaves similarly to the lenses used in many of the posts on this thread. A lot of these look just fabulous. At any rate I wouldn't trade my Summicron for anything. Well, for any other lens. I might trade it for eternal life.

I have my eye on a 90mm Summicron r. I'm saving my pennies.
