The actual title is
"
Fabrikationsbuch Photooptik Carl Zeiss Jena". Another book you won't find at Amazon, but (pending reprint) can get at
Lindemanns Buchhandlung in Germany.
It's a list (actually over 280 pages) compiled with great effort by
Hartmut Thiele, of all
- Photo lenses
- Prototypes
- Special lenses
- Numbers
- Production dates
- Quantities
delivered by Carl Zeiss Jena to the camera industry from 1927-1991.
This is great for identifying with a lens as starting point. For a sample page see the Vintage Camera Online
Download area.
Hartmut Thiele has published
similar books for Leica lenses, Meyer Optics, Rodenstock lenses for Retina, Rodenstock lenses for German cameras, Schneider Kreuznach, Staeble Optics, Voigtländer and more. In the making is the newest version of his book "Die Deutsche Photoindustrie" (German photo and film camera manufacturers, optics plants, photochemistry plants, etc.).
All available from
Lindemanns.
