Re: Book on Tenax II
Hi Wes,
You can certainly put me down for a copy, but I have no idea how many other people might be interested. I suspect not many, it鈥檚 a bit of a niche interest. Good luck with it, anyway, David Balfour From: ZICG@... [mailto:ZICG@...] Sent: 27 February 2017 23:54 To: ZICG@... Subject: [ZICG] Book on Tenax II All: I am currently working on an illustrated history and compendium on the Tenax II camera and its accessories. I expect to have it ready to print in 2017. What I need is a feel for how many people think they might want to own such a work. Any thoughts? Thanks, WES LODER [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |

Re: Book on Tenax II
Dear Wes Loder, I would be happy to buy and read your new book.听 Unfortunately I cannot estimate the number of people who would be interested in Tenax camera book.听 I have several original reviews of this camera in various German journals as well as Zeiss articles in Zeiss Bruecke from 1939. If you are interested, I can prepare the translation. with best regards Dmytro "wesloder133@... [ZICG]" schrieb am 0:54 Dienstag, 28.Februar 2017:

Re: Can you pleae help date my lens:
Hello,
Your CZJ lens #10271 was part of a batch of ten standard anastigmat formula lenses (serial numbers 10268 to 10277), at 170mm f/6.3, produced around the 10th of November in 1894, for some model of focal plane shutter camera made by A. Stegemann of Berlin, I would assume either their "Geheim-Kamera" or the updated version that was the "Hand-Kamera". Best wishes, David Silver On Sun, 12 Feb 2017, purpleboat@...

521/2 Rangefinder
Hi everyone I have made a slow start experimenting with my 521/2 and had some mixed results! Members of this group (Piers and Simon) very kindly sent me instruction manuals for a later model (the Ikonta which I think is model number 531 onwards) and I have been using the depth of focus tables from there to compose my photographs since my model doesn't have a rangefinder.听 Does anyone with an earlier model like mine have any tips as how to further inmprove my results? Is there such a thing as a separate rangefinder contraption that I could use? I am new to photography in general so please excuse my ignorance but willing to learn! Louise |

earliest Carl Zeiss Jena lens known to exist...
Something you don't see every day...a Triplet Achromat 250mm f/6.3 lens, among the most rare of all CZJ standard lenses (only 48 were manufactured, some with the alternative name Triplet Apochromat), the first lens design patented by CZJ in 1890 (predates the Protar by over three months), and at serial number 14 the single earliest and oldest CZJ lens known to exist. Oh, my. Selling on eBay, auction to finish tomorrow (Thursday) evening. See it here:

Re: Serial numbers
4 658600 is from a batch of 500, date about 1950/1 5 1051593 is from a batch of 5000, date about 1951 6 1307993 is from a batch of 1000, date about 1952/3 I suppose lens 4 (Sonnar 2/85) has the Zeiss-Opton red-T inscription?

Re: Serial numbers
Dear Timur, the dates are correct. Zeiss used special numbers slots for different lenses, so there is no wonder why there is no consecutive numbering. The dates listed by H. Thiele are found on Zeias Dispositions-Karten. These dates do not refer to the actual production dates but rather to the date when the contract on lens batch production 听was signed or agreed. 听More details on this subject you can find in the L. Gubas compedium "Zeiss and photography". With best regards, Dmytro "tharacic@... [ZICG]" schrieb am 22:56 Mittwoch, 30.November 2016:

Thank you Dmytro!
Looks like that you swapped the dates between Sonnar and Biotar. Kind regards, Timur |
