This is my all time favourite thread on here.

I have 2 mandler lenses ,the 90mm tele-elmarit thin and the 28mm elmarit version 2 as well as the rough copy of a mandler lens the voigtlander 40mm f1.4 sc .

My next lens will be a mint copy with a hood 28mm elmarit f2.8 version 2  which i love very much.

I live in the 6th largest city in the uk ,bristol [620,000] which has many beautiful green woodland areas and parks/gardens as well as lovely counties in the area like somerset,wiltshire and gloucesershire as well as south wales  and the greens that the 28mm version 2 reproduces or interprets are simply sensational as is the overall rendition of images of people especially my grand children.

I sold my summarit 35mm/50mm and zeiss 35mm f1.4 because my eyes/brain prefer the mandler designs so much more.

Both images are from Summicron 50mm f2 ver.3 / Leica m240

 

I'm just in love with gentle colour transmissions and sublime bokeh.

With another price increase around the corner in the midst progressively astronomic prices for modern Leica glass, the magic and mystique of Mandler glass has found me. And only now have I had the chance to peruse this thread in its entirety, so no one to blame really but myself!

In addition to this thread maintaining relevance for 14 yrs and counting, the civil discourse that has prevailed deserves equal kudos in light of the combativeness that has metastasized throughout LUF since the M11 was released.

@adanthanks for elevating my excitement as I await the delivery of my 28mm Elmarit v3.
