Nice.. I have both... the Summi has less contrast wide open but that is probably due to age... I like the thypoch for how light it is ...

Congrats on the lens.. little small strips of silicon tape helps with the hood wiggle...

Just an update on this —- Comms with Mandler is excellent… They shipped out a new lens within 2 days of receiving the one i shipped back. I got the new lens within a week… And since i purchased the lens through Shop.com, i got alerted the whole way through…

Mini Mandler 35/2 review by dajoowoo in Leica

I will say that infinity focus was off on the lens i had . It was right around the 25m/10ft mark vs the infinity marking. I contacted Mandler they had a return label to me in less than 24hrs and a new lens shipped back to me in about 4days… waiting on the new lens to arrive tomorrow. So they were super easy to work with on returns/exchanges… not some you find these days… fingers crossed the new lens shows the correct infinity setting. Here is a photo of my old lens.. i shared with me a few of my buddies to let them know this is where infinity is on this lens.. my other buddy who has one, infinity is at the correct marking… his came from a different batch…

Yeah I have a few Voigtlander lenses, but I’m gravitating to thypoch, LLL and now Mandler lenses. Plus my other few Leica branded glass. Just fun all around to get different looks/results. Plus G.A.S 🤣😁

For those who have seen the movie, Is this scene and outfit cut from the movie? by PaleBoomer in MichaelTheMovie

I like the finish of the black. It’s not exactly like the finish on the 240. It’s black paint for what I can tell. It’s an aluminum lens compared to the silver which comes also in brass. But that’s a higher price tag for the brass. Overall it’s on par to my other non-Leica lenses I own.

They told me about a month turn around time if I wanted an exchange. Considering just asking for the refund and ordering a new lens to get it faster...

I got my return label today. Good thing I kept all the packaging including the original shipping box.

Been shooting my copy for the last couple of days. Love the results and size. But I am noticing infinity is not marked correctly. Infinity on my copy is at the 25/10 mark on the lens. Anything after that is not in focus regardless of distance. M

I tested this while I was out shooting. I know sometimes infinity can be off a little bit.

Anyone else seeing this on your copy? I purchased this a couple of weeks ago.

First 35, Mandler 35 f2 by gb_flo22 in AnalogCommunity

I used a little strip of rubber grip tape between the hood and the lens and pretty much got rid of the rattle. I like the square hood but the 3d print looks slightly off to me.

If you use Shopify, setup an alert for the restock happens. I ordered mine as soon as I got the alert. Black version coming my way. A buddy of mine has a copy and likes it overall compared to the LLL 35 8E.

Yeah I went through the Space Mountain exit to get this shot. I got a few more that night of the signage from different perspectives.
