The Zeiss Lens Collection were a series of
experimental or benchmark lenses maintained by
CZJ between the wars. The maximum size of the
Collection was around 2,000 but about 500 were
cannibalized during the War. After the War, Ed
Kaprelian located the lenses and their
documentation. The collection was sold through
Porter's in the 1950's. Not many of these lenses are still known to exist.
