Dr. Walter Mandler developed the 66 Elcan f2 lens at Ernst Leitz Canada in the late 1960s. Designed for use by the U.S. Navy, approximately 200 units were produced, making the lens one of the rarest in the history of Leica. This reinterpretation of the classic Mandler 66 Elcan is available by special order only.
