  • Carl Zeiss Oberkochen Large Format Lenses 1950-1972
    Large format lenses from Carl Zeiss Oberkochen 1950-1972 © 2013-2019 Arne Cröll – All Rights Reserved (this version is from October 4, 2019) Carl Zeiss Jena and Carl Zeiss Oberkochen Before and during WWII, the Carl Zeiss company in Jena was one of the largest optics manufacturers in Germany. They produced a variety of lenses suitable for large format (LF) photography, including the well- known Tessars and Protars in several series, but also process lenses and aerial lenses. The Zeiss-Ikon sister company in Dresden manufactured a range of large format cameras, such as the Zeiss “Ideal”, “Maximar”, Tropen-Adoro”, and “Juwel” (Jewel); the latter camera, in the 3¼” x 4¼” size, was used by Ansel Adams for some time. At the end of World War II, the German state of Thuringia, where Jena is located, was under the control of British and American troops. However, the Yalta Conference agreement placed it under Soviet control shortly thereafter. Just before the US command handed the administration of Thuringia over to the Soviet Army, American troops moved a considerable part of the leading management and research staff of Carl Zeiss Jena and the sister company Schott glass to Heidenheim near Stuttgart, 126 people in all [1]. They immediately started to look for a suitable place for a new factory and found it in the small town of Oberkochen, just 20km from Heidenheim. This led to the foundation of the company “Opton Optische Werke” in Oberkochen, West Germany, on Oct. 30, 1946, initially as a full subsidiary of the original factory in Jena.
