Oh, yes, let's tear the List apart! <he grins>
Carl Zeiss almost always concentrated on optical
quality and the economics be damned. There are
other firms whose products are as good -- Joseph
Schneider Kreuznach comes to mind, as does Asahi
in Japan -- but they had to face the same wall of
diminishing returns which plagued Zeiss. Carl
Zeiss Jena was the first firm to produce
scientifically designed lenses but others have
made some phenomenally good optics along the way,
such as Taylor, Taylor and Hobson in the UK.
