    Carl Zeiss, 32, Wagnergasse, Jena, Germany. ((1847) also: 29/II Dorotheen strasse 29, Berlin, Germany. (1901) and 29, Margaret St, Regent St, London W (1901) The founder, Carl Zeiss (1816-1888) was born in Weimar, the son of a cabinet maker and ivory carver. He graduated from school in 1834, qualified to be apprenticed to the Grand Dukes Instrument maker, Dr Koerner, and attended academic courses as well as working as apprentice. Next he travelled from Jan. 1838 to Oct. 1845 to study in Stuttgart, Darmstadt, Vienna, and Berlin to broaden his experience. Back at home, he studied chemistry and higher mathematics. By May 1845, he felt well enough qualified to apply to the County Administration at Weimar for permission to found "An establishment for the production of advanced mechanical devices", hoping for a relationship with the University to advance designs. Money was tight with capital of 100 Thalers (possibly £100) only, but in Nov. 1846, he opened at 7, Neugasse. It remained a small business for years, as it took some 20 years for the University relationship to be productive, and he often grew weary of the trial and error methods traditionally used in the trade. Much of the production was of microscopes- often relatively simple ones by modern standards, such as dissection viewers. Then in 1863, a young lecturer Ernst Abbe (1840-1905) joined the University to teach physics and astronomy. Zeiss approached him in 1866 for cooperation in the design of improved systems and this lead to new ideas, eg in the Abbe refractometer (1869), a comparator and a spectrometer.

  • The M 0.8 Line of Lenses Consists of 7 Focal Lengths from 21 Mm to 90 Mm
    M 0.8 The M 0.8 line of lenses consists of 7 focal lengths from 21 mm to 90 mm. The lenses use the high speed full frame M-Mount to maintain their small size while offering a variety of design improvements to make them more compatible with the cinema production environment. ICONIC IMAGES, CLASSIC CHARACTER The Leitz M 0.8 lenses bring a unique interpretation of light, skin tones and color that has inspired photographers and cinematographers for years. Naturally the lenses offer a sharp and focused center with gradual and pleasing fall off of contrast and light toward the edges, leading the view to the image center as well as adding dimensionality to the scene. This look and feel is now available to the cinematographer searching for something new. INCREDIBLY SMALL AND LIGHTWEIGHT The compact size of the Leitz M 0.8 lenses is made possible by retaining the Leica M-Mount. They range from 74 mm to 98 mm and weigh between 380-835 g. They are a dream combination for cameras in drone or gimbal configurations. Each lens has a standardized 80 mm front diameter with a 77 mm screw-in filter thread. The 0.8 module gear rings allow lens motors and follow focus systems to work seamlessly. CAMERA COMPATIBILITY The Leitz M 0.8 lenses use the Leica M-Mount rather than a PL-Mount to maintain their small size. Many cameras with interchangeable mounts or adapters can still use these lenses. Sony Venice, ARRI ALEXA Mini LF, Mini and AMIRA cameras can use the M-Mount adapter from Leitz for the cameras.

It will be clear that the Contax is not merely a camera with which the most diverse subjects can be taken but is also an instrument adapted for the purposes of serious scientific work. The special Contax construction-in particular, the de­ tachable back, with consequent accessibility of parts, and the bayonet-joint mount for lenses etc.-has the very great advantage that every accessory appliance is extra­ ordinarily convenient and reliable in use.
