In general i don't think the Mandler versus Karbe thing  makes any sense. It´s what you make with the lens. But looking into my drawer, i find that out of 10+ lenses there is only one non-Karbe lens.... the Summaron 2,8/35. So maybe I'm a Karbe boy too, unknowingly until now.

Do we have an exact list of Karbe-designed lenses somewhere? The "Leica wiki" lists only three.

 

50 Summilux-M ASPH is the only Karbe lens that I shoot.

Mandler versus Karbe

I don't think the OP was suggesting a 'versus'. Mandler lenses were/are superb for there time. I think this was a bit of fun to balance the 'Mandler Magic' thread - or that's how I saw it😀

I wrote to Leica for the ultimate list. They have yet to answer... fingers crossed.

I think it's a bit strange that Peter Karbe doesn't even have an entry on Wikipedia. You will find Walter Mandler there, with a comprehensive list of all lenses he created. But nothing about Karbe.

For me the SEM 21 is giving the most inimitable Karbe Magic .

agreed, I never thought I would be attracted to that focal length, but the rendering of that lens is too special.

Wonderful photo,

I love the flowers in the foreground.

Which camera is this?
