Zeiss Ikon is back...
« on: June 16, 2006, 10:50:44 PM »
I was at the news stand when, looking through a French magazine, I noticed that Zeiss Ikon is back!
And their new camera is quite surprising. It is a 35mm rangefinder with Leica M lens mount.
Compatible with Leica lenses.
Haven't read the full article but it looks promising. Especially if they release Zeiss lenses that fit the Leica.

there was a nice review on it in a recent issue of Black & White Photography (UK). It was either the April or May issue.

They've just announced a new version of the classic 50/1.5 Sonnar in M-mount too, in addidtion to the 50/2 Planar - fairly surprising thing to do given the state of the film camera market and how much of a niche product rangefinders are anyway...

We always get the news a bit late in Canada...
