Puts talks about this sort of stuff at times and I would consider more definitive, but I haven\'t seen him create a complete list--just mentions the designers sometimes in his columns.
Perhaps someone has another reference (probably need an old fashioned book) that could help us develop a better list.
Indeed, Puts doesn\'t always provide detailed design descriptions for every lens; however, there are pages in his book Leica Compendium that may lead to conclusions. Early chapters in the book reference history of Midland factory and W. Mandler, but I found \'Leica Lens Reports\' even more interesting. Please note designs locations, specifically ELC (Ernst Leitz Canada)
I don\'t think anyone else besides Mandler was associated with principle designs out of ELCAN, so perhaps these charts may be a clue.
PS.
Not sure if I am violating any copyrights/reproductions agreement, but if so please let me know and I will remove these images or come to other agreements.
