A Made in Germany by Rollei Rolleiflex SL35 with Made by Rollei Planar 1,8/50 1005854 SL. The actual camera is in full working order, which cannot be said from all the Made in Singapore specimen because of the lacking Quality Controls...

One of the disasters of Zeiss Ikon, the Ikonette 500/24 or 10.0011 S74648 with Novar-Anastigmat 1:3,5 f=45mm. It was a failure because of the fact production of this plastic cam was too far a divestiture from the rather conservative ZI production technology. It had light leaks, shutter/transport problems etc. So it was recalled from the dealers and their stocks were, together with the ZI stock, scrapped. This increased the ZI financial worries. But, as a side effect, it became a collectors item! (if you find it in working condition...). Also - in my opinion - the only ZI camera with both Bestellnummer, 500/24 ICA based on the bottom plate, and the computer based 10.0011 inside in the left film compartment...

A Voigtländer M42 VSL1, or what it used to be (1972) a Zeiss Ikon SL 706, in Rollei ownership produced. And something about marketing strategies, the Icarex and SL 706 were pure Voigtländer Braunschweig designs and products, but the lenses were labeled Carl Zeiss. After 1972, when Braunschweig was forced to close and the Voigtländer tradename was bought by Rollei, this VSL1 came out with Voigtländer Color-Ultron lenses, which of course were genuine Carl Zeiss planar lenses... If one understands marketing people... be my guest. The pictures are red-cyan anaglyphs. IMG_2854Holo by Hans de Groot, on Flickr And in oblique view: IMG_2856Holo by Hans de Groot, on Flickr Hans

A truly collectible item: Zeiss Ikon Nettax 538/24 C86026 fitted with a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar 1:3,5 f=5cm Nr. 1581154. Total production of this camera was only 3000 pieces max, so I own 0.33 % of the total world production! Originally named Super Nettel III it was renamed into Nettax when production started.
