  Mike Elek: Zeiss Ikon / Zeiss Ikon history
Zeiss Ikon's relationship to Carl Zeiss, the parent firm, is that Zeiss Ikon was seen in many ways as just another customer for its highly regarded lenses.
Two other Zeiss Ikon cameras for the 127 format were the Kolibri, which was one of the few 127 cameras with a spring-loaded collapsible Novar or Tessar, and the Ikonette and its Frontar lens.
Zeiss Ikon never further developed the Contax as the market began to shift toward the single-lens reflex camera, and the Contax was dropped in the early 1960s.
