Marc,
Is there a really good Ikonta and Super Ikonta
manual history of-book that illustrates most of the models and acessories?
Do yo cover them in your Zeiss Compendium?
I give a bit of coverage of the line in that
Compendium (please, do NOT buy new copies of the
COMPENDIUM as Charlie and I have been stiffed out
of our royalties for years and the EU rules on
"authors owning their rights" are essentially worthless).
Late in his life, someone asked Lord Palmerston
about the Schleswig-Holstein Question. Pam
thought a second and replied, "that issue has
only been fully understood by three people. One
was the Prince Consort, and he is dead. Another
was a professor in Germany, and he has been
certified as insane, and is now confined. I am
the third, and I have forgotten everything I once knew about it."
I am rather in the same place on the Zeiss Ikon
folders. I really had come to understand the
breed followong the publication of the COMPENDIUM
thanks to so much input from the field. But that was fifteen years back.
Hubert Nerwin knew all about these guys and was
never debriefed on them. What I would give to
have an hour with him back in, say, 1975. As it
is, I probably ought to reinvent the wheel and
write an article for ZEISS HISTORICA on this.
No, there is no single book on Zeiss Folders. I
wish there were. There are some fine articles in
the archives of THE ZEISS HISTORICA
JOURNAL. Join and you can purchase back files at a dirt price.
I am sharing this missive, in regard to our long
friendship, with others who may have more to say.
