Almost 3 million more Carl Zeiss lenses in 2002
The demand for high quality lenses from Carl Zeiss keeps growing. Almost 3 million camera lenses have been supplied to worldwide markets in the Carl Zeiss fiscal year of 2001/2002 ending September 30, 2002. This is the highest number ever delivered in a single year.
The driving force behind this development is the rapid growth of the digital still camera market. The number of Carl Zeiss lenses delivered to the digital video market has also increased significantly. In a logical pairing of leaders in their respective fields, Carl Zeiss, with its unmatched optical expertise, has joined with Sony, a very successful global player in both the still and video digital consumer camera markets.
Sony is a technology leader in key components for digital cameras, like imaging chips, miniature components and circuits, and compact power supplies with high stamina. Sony has achieved commanding positions in many digital still camera markets around the world and is the undisputed leader in the digital video camcorder business. Since 1997 Sony has equipped its top digital still and digital video camera models with high-performance lenses by Carl Zeiss. These cameras are very successful, gaining market share.
