traderjoe Posted March 16, 2019 Share #1 Posted March 16, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Has anyone ever heard or read of a designer or team of designers attributed to the 40mm Summicron-C? It seems to share many similarities to the 35mm Summicron IV and is of the Walter Mandler era which piqued my curiousity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB_tx Posted March 16, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 16, 2019 Cavina notes that the German patent lists the optical designers as Georg Knetsch, Hermann Desch, Heinz Marquardt, and Walter Watz. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

agiknee Posted March 16, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 16, 2019 Was it loosely based on the summicron 35? I’ve heard that it was but no one has actually confirmed. I love the look of the 35 and 40 but they seem so different to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted March 16, 2019 Share #5 Posted March 16, 2019 Double Gauss with 6 lenses in 4 groups. Same design as Summicron 35/2 v2 and v3 more or less.http://www.marcocavina.com/articoli_fotografici/Leitz_piccole_bugie/21.gifhttp://www.marcocavina.com/articoli_fotografici/Leitz_piccole_bugie/00_pag.htm 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
