	Zeiss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carl Zeiss is the premier company of the Zeiss Gruppe, one of the two large divisions of the Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung.
		Zeiss nonetheless still continues to be a camera manufacturer, and still produces the Pentacon, Praktica[1], and special-use lenses (e.g., Exakta).
		The Zeiss Ikon Rangefinder camera was introduced by Zeiss in 2004 and is similar to the Leica M series cameras.

	Zeiss Ikon - Camerapedia.org
		Zeiss Ikon is a German company that was formed in 1926 by the merger of four camera makers, and indeed the word Ikon came from ICA and Contessa-Nettel, two of the constituents in the merger.
		Zeiss Ikon merged in the mid 1960s with Voigtländer, another important German manufacturer that was controlled by the Zeiss Foundation since 1956.
		The new Zeiss Ikon camera, introduced at the 2004 Photokina show, is a rangefinder camera compatible with Leica M-mount, developed in Germany and built by Cosina in Japan (with lenses made in both Japan and Germany, like those for the Contax G1 and G2).

	[No title]
		Perhaps the most interesting feature of the Zeiss Ikon is that it uses the Leica M mount.
		Zeiss said production of the 15mm Distagon and the 85mm Sonnar was to be in Germany because Cosina was unable to handle the complex manufacturing of these two lenses, which use floating elements.
		Zeiss stated on its site that some improvements to the body and shutter were necessary.

		The Carl Zeiss Foundation (Zeiss is not Zeiss is not Zeiss.
		A Zeiss Ikon camera has a body from Zeiss Ikon and lens(es) from Carl Zeiss, the raw glass for which is from Schott Glass.
		Unfortunately for Zeiss Ikon, their answer to the Leica A of 1925 and Leica II of 1932 had a notoriously unreliable shutter mechanism.

	Zeiss Ikon Contina
		The Zeiss Ikon Contina is a simplified point-and-shoot made by the Zeiss Ikon corporation around 1956 (none of that complex rangefinder nonsense) as well as match-needle metering.
		Zeiss Ikon was formed in 1926 out of the merger of five companies: Carl Zeiss/Jena A.G., ICA A.G., Erneman A.G., Goerz A.G, and Contessa-Nettel A.G. Zeiss-Ikon was a huge corporation with offices in five cities in Germany and it offered a huge variety of cameras.
		Carl Zeiss, the main company, can actually trace its roots to 1846, to the very dawn of photography and is renowned for such designs as the Tessar and T* coating.

	SportsShooter.com - The new Zeiss Ikon
		While I am stoked that the Ikon name has been reborn and that they have clearly taken great care to develop new products never offered before I am concerned that this might be all it is going to take to push Leica, or at least the company that Leica has become, out of business.
		Zeiss releases a limited edition run of commemorative bodies that sell for about a third of what Leica expects to get for any of their current commemorative issues.
		Zeiss is saying that these are going to be Zeiss lenses, in every sense of the word except country of origin.

		The new Zeiss Ikon SW body is designed predominantly for use with wide angle lenses, as it not equipped with a viewfinder or rangefinder.
		Zeiss call their 28/2.8 Biogon the 'Universal Traveller', this lens provides the widest angle of view that can be used with the camera's built-in viewfinder.
		Zeiss have produced a range of high quality accessories to match their superb camera and lenses, and to help you get the best out of them.

	Pacific Rim Camera : Photographica Pages: Zeiss Ikon
		Zeiss Ikon was founded in 1926 by the merger of Contessa-Nettel, Goerz, Ernemann and Ica, which itself was the product of a merger of Huttig, Krugener, Wunsche, Zulauf and Carl Zeiss Palmos factory.
		Zeiss Ikon built cameras at all levels of price and features, from the fabled Contax, Contarex and Twin Lens Contaflex cameras that many photographers dreamed of owning, but many could afford, to the simplest box cameras and folding cameras.
		The problems with competing camera lines within Zeiss, and between Zeiss and Voigtlander, plus of course, the Japanese domination of the market, caused production to end in 1971, A limited number of cameras were assembled from parts on hand in 1972.

	Something Zeiss to say...
		The purpose of this program is to illustrate and give emphasis to the awesome impact Zeiss Ikon engineers were able to effect on the international camera market between the years 1926-72.
		Zeiss Ikon was formed in 1926, the result of an amalgamation of five strong German camera companies into one enormous camera making combine.
		Many of these early models were inherited as a result of the merger and were simply continued as Zeiss Ikon cameras in their early catalogs.

		In addition to the Zeiss catalog number, which is not usually given in most references, the models were referred to by size as A, B and C, and later as I, II and III.
		In addition to the Zeiss catalog number, the format letters and numbers in use, these cameras were referred to as Mess-Ikontas.

		Zeiss understood corrosion, and in most of their light meters the cell contacts were gold plated to eliminate the possibility of corrosion and to ensure long term good electrical contact.
		Zeiss took great care to ensure the uniformity of the silk tape they used over the years they used it and they would not have done this if it wasn't fundamentally important and absolutely necessary.
		Zeiss advised that when a flash was to be used that it be mounted only on an accessory handle that mounts to the threaded tripod socket.

		We can highly recommend the rapid Zeiss Ikon film "Orthochrom" or "Panchrom" with which it is possible to obtain very satisfactory snapshots even on a dull day.
		The exact time of exposure corresponding to a certain stop is best taken from the exposure table supplied with the camera, or it may be determined by the aid of the Zeiss Ikon Diaphot, which we can recommend as a thoroughly reliable exposure meter.
		Under these conditions all objects from infinity to a distance of about 13 feet from the camera will give sharp pictures, and, using Zeiss Ikon Film "Orthochrom" or "Panchrom" the exposure time is sufficient even for taking views on clear winter days between three hours before and after noon.

	photoscala - Film based range-finder camera „Zeiss Ikon“
		"Zeiss Ikon" is the name given to the newly designed, film-based range-finder camera introduced by Carl Zeiss at Photokina 2004 (Cologne, Sept. 28 – Oct. 3, 2004).
		Winfried Scherle, head of the Camera Lens Division at Carl Zeiss AG substantiates the claim: "The idea of the Zeiss Ikon camera is based on a philosophy that focuses on photographers and all their creativity when designing pictures.
		With Zeiss Ikon lenses, this effect is so strongly reduced that it remains within the depth-of-field range and does not affect the quality of the picture.

		The Zeiss Ikon 35mm f2 T* ZM Biogon lens seems like it can be an attractive alternative to the Leica 35mm f2 ASPH Summicron-M lens at nearly half the Leica's price.
		However, I'm not sure whether its optical quality is as superb as the Leica ASPH Summicron, though the MTF curves which Zeiss has provided at its website for the Zeiss Ikon rangefinder system suggest that this lens is without a doubt a worthy rival.
		I think it's great that Cosina, Zeiss and Hasselblad (the worldwide distributor of the Zeiss Ikon rangefinder system outside of Japan) are offering chrome and fl versions of virtually every lens at the same price.

	Zeiss Ikon Contessa 35
		Although dating from the early 1950s, it has all the classic looks of the 1930s and even in its day would have appealed to the traditionalists looking for new technology in a classic guise.
		The apparent gap in the Contessa range can be explained by the fact the name was only used for top end rangefinder compacts.
		Zeiss also made a very similar but cheaper range bearing the name Contina.

	Vintage Folding Cameras
		Until the very late 1950's, Zeiss' rangefinder consisted of a stationary or folding arm which held two prisms which rotated as you focused … it also gives the Zeiss Super Ikonta C (and its Russian Mockva 2,3,4, and 5 copies) their distinctive appearance.
		The "Brunhilde" as I call it, of the Zeiss line is the Super Ikonta B, the 532/16 and 533/16.
		The high end, aside from the 532/16, of Zeiss' folder offerings has to be their final run of folders, the Super Ikonta III and Super Ikonta IV.

		This was made by the firm of Ernemann which was also in Dresden and merged into Zeiss Ikon in 1926.
		It brought the professional line of such equipment to the merger into Zeiss Ikon and this of business continued to contribute heavily to the growth of the company in the bad economic times of the 1920s.

	Leica FAQ - Zeiss Ikon "M" camera system
		Announced on September 29th 2004, the Zeiss Ikon is a "new" rangefinder-based camera system by Zeiss.
		With the ZM lens range for 35 mm still photography, ZEISS introduces at Photokina 2004 a set of newly designed lenses that brings to still photography the enormous optical performance, the resolving power, stray-light suppression, mechanical precision and durability of ZEISS cine lenses.
		So it appears the Zeiss Ikon resurgence is mainly a platform to allow stills photographers to use Zeiss cine lenses.

		Unlike 35 mm SLR camera viewfinders, for example, that can only show little more than 90% of what will be recorded on film, the Zeiss Ikon viewfinder lets you see the area that surrounds the actual image giving you greater possibilities and confidence as you compose each image.
		What’s more, the triangulation rangefinder combined with a viewfinder base that is the widest available means that you can expect extreme accuracy and wide-angle focusing precision.
