The extremely popular Mandler 35mm f/2 “Seven Elements” lens for M/LTM mount is now back in stock in limited quantities. The last few batches sold in a day or less, so act fast if you want one.
The Mandler 35mm f/2 is a complete reproduction of the original Leica Summicron 35mm f/2 seven-element optical lens formula. The name “Mandler” is a tribute to Walter Mandler, who designed many legendary Leica lenses.

A Leica Q camera (looks like a Leica Q3 43 with a 28 mm Summilux lens?) appears in the new James Bond 007 First Light video game as a “Shockwave Camera” that stuns enemies and inflicts damage on body armor.
The James Bond connection to the Leica Q line is twofold: Q (the gadget master) has a Leica Q for 007.
I believe that Leica has an ongoing partnership with the James Bond franchise and a history of making limited editions James Bond 007 cameras (is another Leica 007 special edition on the way?):
