The Carl Zeiss Foundation bought a 100% ownership
interest in Voigtländer from Schering in
1953. In 1965, the Foundation, which then owned
around 80% of Zeiss Ikon, merged Voigtländer with
Zeiss Ikon to form ZIV. That was dissolved when
Zeiss Ikon left the camera manufacturing business
and the remnants of Voigtländer were sold to
F&H. Most of the Voigtländer lens designers had
been absorbed into Oberkochen in 1965, incidentally.
