The Mandler 35mm f2

And the box! Now you're just showing off, @WoodallP.

Did they ever make a SBLOO in black? I don't think I've ever seen one.

I have a black SBLOO. There is even an S on the box. Same with the black SBOOI.

What was the field of view like before it broke? I've seen some people say it's more like 45mm or even 50mm than it is 35mm. Kinda defeats the point if it's basically a 50mm viewfinder!

I have that LLL WEISU. It is tiny, very bright and clear, BUT has very poor eye relief. Its view is close to 35mm only if you don't wear glasses and push your eye very near to it. Or else it is more like 45mm or 50mm.

Leitz SBLOO gives a big and clear view, but it's kinda huge sitting on top of a Barnack camera. Personally I found the VC and the Acall one excellent, not so huge and offer bright and undistorted view. The Acall VF even has parallax offset. (I know Leica purists may not be interested and that's ok.)
