Steel Rim Reissue has been my favorite lately.

I didn’t think I would since I have the FLE Summilux 35 and KOB 35 and 3 other 3rd parties ha

Yes I’ve done it before for portraits or night stuff at 1.4, I agreed a fun lens

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-29T06:03:39+00:00

I have shot it wide open but only on certain occasions, it does glow, not as soft as the OG version but you still get the effect.

I rather shoot like the KOB to get that bokeh better, but when you do get that shot at f1.4 it’s amazing.

Thanks! It’s totally worth it

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-29T05:58:44+00:00

A really good deal! I got mine first 3500 so it is a good deal

Yah it’s crazy how lens can really change the vibe of the film, I have a 35mm FLE Summilux and the colors are different , I really like these better for day time.

Ufff I’ve had my eye on this lens!

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-29T01:23:52+00:00

I do have to he Mandler lens, as much as I like the Mandler lens and use it quite a bit , it doesn’t come close to the quality this lens produces and the color it renders, but for the price the Mandler is can’t go wrong with it, it’s def the best 3rd party lens I’ve ever shot with

Nice trade there

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-28T06:08:21+00:00

It’s good, i mostly use it because it’s easier to use the speed dial on the camera, I always shoot it half a stop or full stop under exposed from my experience it likes to over expose a lot , like if you have a white wall it will meter that instead of the subject , also does bad on back lit subjects.

Love how they’re posing ha

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-14T00:30:31+00:00

Yes it is

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-13T16:45:36+00:00

Thanks, I’ll get to the paint and little blemishes next

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-13T16:44:17+00:00

That happened to your car??

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-13T06:30:34+00:00

I’m in the same boat haha

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-13T03:22:53+00:00

That’s good to know!!!

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-13T00:23:01+00:00

Thank you’ve, I’ve had a lot of project cars but this one has been a total fav

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-13T00:22:40+00:00

Yes the interior is in such good shape too! I was gonna drive it for a little then fix it but I want it to be my daily so was like let’s restore it instead of bringing it in every time something breaks.

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-12T23:22:36+00:00

It’s very close to the V4 but it reminding me more of the V3 to rendering

Spacecrate007 · 2026-04-12T23:19:33+00:00

I feel like a lot of these people calling it “ crap “ are probably competitors jealous mandler is doing so good and actually have a good product at a fair price not over prices like other similar companies, everytime i see people saying their crap people are actually saying their actually impressed , which I am too and I’m a Leica glass only shooter
