Issue No. 22 September 2005
			Dear CLN Reader, Please let me drop you some lines inbetween very pleasurable activities: taking real world demo photos with the new Zeiss Ikon camera and lenses. For weeks, I have been using an advanced prototype of the camera plus each of the lenses, and lens shades, and viewfinders. And so have colleagues at Hasselblad in Sweden. While highly satisfied with the resulting photos – some of which you will find in the upcoming Zeiss Ikon system catalog – we have suggested to our engineers and production planners a few wishes for them to consider on the final steps from advanced prototype to the series camera. Even thought they cause delay, I am confident that you will appreciate the improvements. Yours, Kornelius Mueller		Overview subscribe Newsletter
