Mandler 35mm f2 (on the Nikon Zf)

In today's video I'm talking about my experience with the Mandler 35mm f2, the Chinese copycat of the ol Leica Summicron 35mm f2 v4. It's dubbed as the "King of Bokeh" by the Chinese community, so I guess it's inevitable that they will try to replicate that lens 🤷.
