Over 8 million Carl Zeiss lenses manufactured to date
Production of Carl Zeiss camera lenses is speeding up further. New products on the market eqipped with optics from Carl Zeiss is one reason for this, rising demand for existing products is the other. Currently more than 200,000 new Carl Zeiss lenses enter the market every year and Carl Zeiss is working hard to generate an increase to more than 300,000 by the year 2000.
The serial-number 8,000,000 was attributed to a Carl Zeiss Planar T* 1,2/55 mm jubilee lens for Contax 35 mm SLR cameras, manufactured in a limited edition series of 1,000 units during November and December 1996. Recent Vario-Sonnar 1,8/4,4 – 52,8 mm lenses for the Sony Digital Video Cassette Recorder PC 10 carry numbers beginning with 8,200,000. | |
