Opinion: Why did Zeiss stop making cameras?

Avatar photoby Gavin LyonsMarch 20, 2022March 20, 2022

There are far too many cameras made by Zeiss from the last century, which is to be expected with a history that goes back over 110 years. While they have recently released their first digital camera, the ZX1, this a little story about why Zeiss stopped producing film cameras. First off, I myself, am not […]

Camera review – the Zeiss Ikon Nettar II 517/16 6×6 folding camera

by David HumeJuly 10, 2018July 31, 2021

I bought my Zeiss Ikon Nettar 6×6 folder in 1992 for $50, pretty much in perfect nick. At the time I was shooting a Mamiya RB67 professionally; exclusively running Fuji Velvia through it for magazine covers and editorial work.

Recensione: vi racconto le mie folding – Zeiss Ikon Ikonta 520/2 & Zeiss Ikon Nettar 515/2

Pierluigi Toluby Pierluigi ToluJune 15, 2016October 16, 2020

Over the past two centuries, the film photography panorama has had plenty of cameras and other gear produced from hundreds of manufacturers.
