Zeiss Book, Volume 2: Carl Zeiss Jena Lenses
This is the 10th edition of the so-called Yellow Zeiss Phone Book in Japan, a must-have reference for camera dealers, originally published in the early 2000s by German classic camera researcher Hartmut Thiele. Released in 2023, this volume consists of 394 pages and is entirely in German.
Starting with serial number 800001, the Tessar 120mm f4.5 for Icarette, this book compiles extensive information on Jena-made lenses spanning from 1927 to 1991.
It includes:
- A serial number-ordered lens list
- A list organized by lens model
- A list categorized by compatible cameras
- A comprehensive lens index covering 1980 to 1991
Although this book is in German only, in today’s AI-driven era, simply pointing your smartphone camera at the text allows for instant translation—truly a remarkable time to be alive!
