Zeiss Lens, carl zeiss Jena, a German lens professional enterprise, is one of the world-class enterprises that produce photographic and film lenses.

Mbth: Chinese name of Zeiss: Zeiss lens, carl zeiss country: Germany type: Brief introduction of lens professional enterprise, history, brief introduction, twists and turns, creating classics, brief introduction Carl Zeiss Jena, carl zeiss German lens professional enterprise is one of the world-class enterprises that manufacture photos and film lenses. The history of carl zeiss lens is 1890, which began with the invention of an astigmatism compensation lens called Anastigmat. Later, carl zeiss came as a traditional lens enterprise in 150, and enjoys a good reputation overseas in the fields of medical series, glasses, camera lenses, magnifying glasses, glasses, planetarium and other optical equipment. Among them, the camera lens has the advantages of clear resolution, detailed description, uniform aperture and T* multilayer film emission hardening treatment. Introduce an apprentice who graduated from high school; Jena, an ancient German town, is the hometown of carl zeiss. At the beginning, perhaps no one thought that the apprentice of Guzhen would become a world optical giant. Due to his interest in optics and chemistry for many years, Carl worked as an auditor in the local University of Jena for a long time after his apprenticeship. 1846, 30-year-old Carl started a studio. His early products were magnifying glasses and simple microscopes. Thanks to the help of two great scientists, Ernst Abbe and Otto Short (the pioneers of "short" glass in optical glass), the quality of optical lenses in Zeiss Factory has always been in a leading position. Before World War II, the workshop in Dresden was the largest camera factory in the world. Twists and turns1945 February 14 night, disaster arrival, Dresden camera factory was bombed by allied forces. At the end of World War II, General Patton's Third Army occupied Jena. Because the Yaldat Treaty stipulated that American positions must retreat to the west, Germany was divided into two parts, and Jena and Dresden were occupied by Soviet troops. Of course, the Russians will not let "American imperialism" get their hands on the wealth of this optical giant. As compensation for the war, the Soviet army dismantled the remaining 94% of the factory equipment. The current Kiev camera factory was established in Kiev (through this lineage, Russian lenses can still occupy a place in the optical field). However, it seems that German technology cannot be taken away. With the support of the University of Jena, the logo of "Carl Zeiss Jena" soon appeared again. The key management and technical personnel of 126 Zeiss plundered by Barton, with the support of the United States, also rebuilt the factory in Oberkochen, Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany). Carl Zeiss also gained a new life in the "capitalist" society, and the Zeiss factory was split in two. CarlZeissJena in East Germany was called "East Cai" in history, and carl zeiss in West Germany was called "West Cai" in history. Everything about Cai has been labeled as genuine Zeiss. In fact, both sides inherited the tradition of Zeiss in design. It is this competition that makes Zeiss more perfect in optical technology. After the reunification of Germany and Germany, Zeiss factories in East Germany and West Germany re-contacted and operated. Headquartered in Oberkochen, it has 3,500 employees and branches all over the world. At this time, Zeiss's combination of double swords has become the first strong player in the field of optics. In the field of 135, Contex still competes with Leica (Contex uses CarlZeiss), but in the field of 120, carl zeiss is the world leader: Hasselblad and Lulai both use carl zeiss lenses. In the digital age, with the help of Zeiss, Sony, originally an optical amateur, has become one of the industry leaders in consuming digital cameras. Creating Classics Zeiss has created many classic designs in the lens industry. Paul rudolph, the founder of Zeiss, is one of the most famous designers in the history of lens manufacturing. 1890, he designed the first Anastigmat, which opened a new era of Zeiss lens. 1896, Rudolf published the famous plane lens with double Gaussian structure, which corrected all kinds of lens aberrations well. Since then, the standard lenses of various brands produced all over the world (including Leica) have borrowed from the flat lens design. 1902, he designed four sets of "Hawkeye"-Tessa lenses. Although the structure is simple and the price is moderate, the imaging quality is shocking, bright and sharp. Others, such as Holgon, Sonnar (the lens of Sony DSC-F828 is based on Sonnar lens structure), Bio-gon specially designed for paraxial cameras, etc. , are classic mirrors created by Zeiss. It is a fact that there is a market for optical products as long as they touch the edge of Zeiss lens. Carl zeiss No.9 optical planetarium is used in Zeiss Planetarium of Beijing Planetarium. Under the dazzling aura of Zeiss and Leica, Rodenstock and Schneider became unknown in the eyes of laymen. In fact, there have been a large number of excellent brands in Germany's century-old optical traditional industry, but most of them have withered under the monopoly of Zeiss and Leica, but Roedenschneider is still strong with its first-class design. If you see which digital camera uses Rodenstein and Schneider lenses, the optical performance can be guaranteed. Although there are rumors that the German lens used in digital cameras is only designed or even authorized by Germany, even if the lens is manufactured in Japan or other places, Germans will care about their own face and their performance will never be too outrageous.
