The contributions to photography of firms bearing Zeiss trademarks have been recognized from 1890 to the present day but, until now, no one has taken the opportunity to document these many contributions from the beginning of Dr. Paul Rudolph´s earliest Carl Zeiss lenses to the superior lenses of the present day . Most people do not separate these lenses from the cameras and accessories of Zeiss Ikon and other collaborators. Few know much about the firms that were merged into that hugely successful Zeiss Ikon monolith that would challenge the Leica miniature with not a single camera body but with nine quite different and feature laden 35 mm cameras before 1938 while maintaining a product line that covered all other photographic methods, means and formats . Later, the difficulties in restarting the Carl Zeiss and Zeiss Ikon firms after World War II have, until now, only been tepidly explored. Few historians have covered the many fully designed cameras that were prototyped and patented during the war years and then lost to the bombings of Dresden and Berlin. The restart and legal complexities of the post war period and the decisions that led to the loss of not only the leadership of the photo industry but the near destruction of all of the firms themselves have receded into the past with only a foggy incomplete memory remaining.
Larry Gubas has been a key contributor to the Zeiss Historica Society since its founding 35 years ago and took many opportunities to visit with those who lived through these times first hand . He has also trolled the waters of archives and image collections to present in his book the most complete history of these times and products to the present day. His book entitled ´Zeiss and Photography´ presents this material with substantial and interesting photographs and documents in 890 pages.
