Ernemann Werke, Dresden c1925<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Before the fall of Germany at the end of WW2, Dresden was a major camera manufacturing centre. Ernemann built its famous Pentacon tower building and upon the founding of Zeiss-Ikon, it became the central manufacturing works of Zeiss-Ikon. \u00a0Sadly, Dresden became part of the Soviet Union when post-war Germany was divided up by the major Allies (Britain, USA, Russia). The picture at left is from p. 161 of Larry Gubas’s fabulous book Zeiss and Photography<\/em>\u00a0(the definitive book on the subject). The picture was originally in the Ernemann catalogue of 1925. The tower remains to this day.<\/p>\n

My good friend, journal editor, and long time PHSC member, Bob Lansdale, noted that the \u00a0Western Canada Photographic Historical Association’s (WCPHA’s<\/a>) most recent email includes a copyrighted article by Tom Parkinson on The Ernemann Tower.<\/a> Those who are members also saw articles on their next meeting, The Leica CL, the discontinuation of Camera Shopper next month, fraudulent signatures and labels on some Daguerreotypes<\/a> (frauds are a sure sign of the increased value of such items), and a new digital RF Leica.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
