It was July, 1936, when Zeiss Jena produced its Zeiss Objectives catalogue, Ph 333e. In this catalogue, Zeiss lenses were tagged as &#8220;<em>The Eagle Eye of your Camera<\/em>&#8220;. \u00a0Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ernst_Leitz_GmbH\">Leitz<\/a>, who used the lens name to indicate a lens&#8217;s widest aperture, Zeiss used the name to describe the lens design used. So for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tessar\"><em>Tessars<\/em><\/a> came in various mounts, speeds, and focal lengths but always with the same internal design.<\/p>\n<p>In this era of orthochromatic black &amp; white films, Zeiss, like many firms, offered a series of coloured glass filters. And of course they were well known for their line of microscopes, eye pieces and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.robarts.ca\/confocal\/Objectives.pdf\">objectives<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zeiss.ca\/corporate\/en\/home.html\">Zeiss<\/a> products were sold world wide in Zeiss stores or at various non-Zeiss stores licensed to import their optical instruments. \u00a0In Canada, Zeiss products were imported and sold by the chain of Hughes-Owens stores based in Montreal. The chain had stores in Ottawa, Toronto, Quebec City, and Winnipeg.<\/p>\n<p>I bought the reprint from Zeiss collector John Alldredge. in April, 1991 at one of our photographica-fairs. \u00a0John was a frequent exhibitor over the years and a member of the PHSC and its executive at the time (handling PHSC promotions).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto.
