The milestone list has been copied off the Praktica website [1]. Is this a copyright violation? Johnteslade 08:59, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- It looks pretty obvious that this was ripped straight from the site. Nevertheless, the content was very offtopic and, in areas, completely unreadable. I reworked all the other text on the page and couldn't find anywhere to stash the list, so it's been removed. I have, however, added an external link to the site you mentioned. --Milkmandan 03:08, 2004 Dec 22 (UTC)

[edit] microscope lenses
I saw nothing regarding Zeiss AG microscopes... maybe this could be included..
[edit] picture
Sure thats him on the picture ? His clothing looks strange for a german of his time. Here is the picture that google image search displays most: http://www.amuseum.de/physik/exh96/cz_hist.htm
[edit] Wartime
I for one would be very interested to know what Zeiss manufactured during the world wars. Anyone know?
- At the end of WWII
- field glasses
- "Zieloptiken" (optics to target projectile)
[edit] MedChemist46J
I am a serious microscope collector with a good collection of Zeiss corporation history and the early history of the microscope line. I will add material in the coming week if this seems appropriate. I will initially take the history of Zeiss AG back to the founding in 1846.
- If your data includes the metrology angle, that would be appreciated as well! --67.98.18.66 18:17, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Zeiss Ikon
The section on Zeiss Ikon should be removed. It confuses Zeiss Ikon, which was an inedepenent company with a complicated history, owned by Carl Zeiss, with Carl Zeiss AG. Furthermore it is wrong in many details, for example the Pentacon/Praktica company since 1990 has no connection with Zeiss whatsoever. Or it says "The history of Carl Zeiss AG begins in Jena before World War II" - but the history of Carl Zeiss started in the 1860s, whereas the history of Zeiss Ikon started in the 1920s, but in Dresden. The whole section should be removed.
- I agree. After WWII and the formation of the DDR, Carl Zeiss Jena was an important industrial operation, exporting optical instruments throughout Easter Europe and beyond. Praktica cameras were widely sold in the West, competing in the same marketplace as Zeiss Ikon cameras from West Germany. The history part of the article needs some good revision.

[edit] Source
http://www.company7.com/zeiss/history.html
This link seems like a good source of historical info. Is anyone able to summarize it for the Wikipedia entry?
Also, what is the point of the long list of lenses in the current article? Seems more like an advertisment than anything else...... JXM 07:00, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cine
Carl Zeiss is well known for their cine lenses and has been for some time. I think that there should be more of a mention of this in describing the company's history.
[edit] Star projectors
Is it significant enough to include somewhere in the article that Zeiss makes star projector machines for planetariums? I can't imagine that very many companies do... LordAmeth 22:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Binoculars
Echoing the requests for star projectors, cine lenses and microscope lenses. Zeiss make the most popular high-end binoculars for birdwatches. At least that's the situation in Europe, and has been since at least the 1980s. JöG 15:39, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
