I have been reading about the history of the modern 35mm system camera as a result of some  experiments using  a 1960  Zeiss-Ikon Contaflex Super (SLR)  and some expired 35mm Fuji Velvia 50 that had been gifted to me.  I knew next to nothing about Zeiss-Ikon, only that Zeiss today make high quality lenses, and so I wanted to learn about what happened to the German camera industry before Japanese innovation swept all before them,  what had been lost and what is now absent.
