Ermanox with Ernostar from ‘Zeiss and Photography’ courtesy of author Larry Gubas<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto. Heinrich Ernemann<\/em><\/a> began making cameras when it was founded in 1899 Dresden<\/a>. In 1926 it was part of the amalgamation which was called Zeiss-Ikon. The Ermanox camera used a single glass plate and a focal plane shutter. The f\/2 100mm Ernostar<\/a> lens was designed by Ludwig Bertele<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0At the time, it was the fastest still photography lens ever made. For the first time candid shots could be taken indoors – if taken by an expert like Erich Salomon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The designer moved to the Zeiss organization along with the lens design which served as a basis for the Zeiss Sonnar and Biotar lenses. The photo at left is from the very detailed history in the excellent book ‘Zeiss and Photography<\/em>‘ by Larry Gubas (sadly long out of print – only 400 copies were ever made).<\/p>\n

We have posted many notes about Ernemann and the Ernostar lens, such as our September 1, 2021 post titled, “cat’s eye<\/a>” on an ad for the Ernostar. Type in the term “Ernemann” in the search bar of our site to see these and other Ernemann posts,<\/p>\n

Note. The post title is a riff on the expression, “all hat and no cattle<\/a>” which certainly doesn’t apply to this amazing little camera (c 1924).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
