Just in time!
I've never really thought of my photo gear as cute. Cute was Hello Kitty pink
P&S cameras
But . . . Trolling for interesting vintage lenses, I came across what looked like a short mount Steinheil Munchen
Culminar 135/4.5, mounted on a small bellows.
I won it for a pretty reasonable price. Then it arrived; darn if it isn't awfully cute!

Part of it is surely the size. The bellows are about 2", vs the ~3" of the Oly bellows I'm used to. And the lens is
tiny, compared to the 135/2.5-2.8 lenses I have.
Perhaps slightly less cute on a body?

Some first casual tests suggest it may be a nice lens for soft bokeh with bubbly qualities.
