Talk:Carl Zeiss AG

message: Large parts of the current article Carl Zeiss AG are very extensive lists of old former products. They are highly selective, as Zeiss in total is absolutely not represented by these lists. Zeiss has hundreds to thousands of current products and more former ones. I would be very happy if we could move these lists out of this article. They seem to be valuable for some people. What about creating a site "products of Carl Zeiss AG"?
Other suggestions are welcome.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akriesch (talk • contribs) 11:52, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move product lists out of this article 

message: I am a serious microscope collector with a good collection of Zeiss corporation history and the early history of the microscope line.  I will add material in the coming week if this seems appropriate.   I will initially take the history of Zeiss AG back to the founding in 1846.

message: The section on Zeiss Ikon should be removed. It confuses Zeiss Ikon, which was an inedepenent company with a complicated history, owned by Carl Zeiss, with Carl Zeiss AG. Furthermore it is wrong in many details, for example the Pentacon/Praktica company since 1990 has no connection with Zeiss whatsoever. Or it says "The history of Carl Zeiss AG begins in Jena before World War II" - but the history of Carl Zeiss started in the 1860s, whereas the history of Zeiss Ikon started in the 1920s, but in Dresden. The whole section should be removed.
* I agree.  After WWII and the formation of the DDR, Carl Zeiss Jena was an important industrial operation, exporting optical instruments throughout Easter Europe and beyond.  Praktica cameras were widely sold in the West, competing in the same marketplace as Zeiss Ikon cameras from West Germany.  The history part of the article needs some good revision.

This link seems like a good source of historical info.  Is anyone able to summarize it for the Wikipedia entry?  
Also, what is the point of the long list of lenses in the current article?  Seems more like an advertisment than anything else......    JXM 07:00, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it significant enough to include somewhere in the article that Zeiss makes star projector machines for planetariums? I can't imagine that very many companies do... LordAmeth 22:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Echoing the requests for star projectors, cine lenses and microscope lenses.
Zeiss make the most popular high-end binoculars for birdwatches.
At least that's the situation in Europe, and has been since at least the 1980s.

message: "The history of Carl Zeiss AG begins in Jena before World War II, then the world's largest location of camera production."
*Jena was ever the the world's largest location of camera production? Is this confusing Jena with Dresden? Also "begins in Jena before World War II" is true, but it's a hundred years before... I can't fix this sentence because I don't exactly understand what's being said. Herostratus 22:08, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, but I have 1950s Zeiss brochure that states the T is for Transmission.92.40.10.11 (talk) 03:16, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

message: Article states "reckoned as one of the few East German firms that was even potentially able to compete on a global basis". This seems pretty biased to me. Reckoned by whom? There is no source for this remark, and considering that East Germany produced some very successful camera equipment and lenses that it exported to the west right up until reunification, this remark seems to be a product of prejudice rather than fact.
