the famous masterpiece by Paul Rudolph unveiled in 1902 thanks to its simple construction, flare resistance even in absence of antireflection coating and excellent performance, at the time matched only by much more complex convertible models, featuring even 8 lenses, this optical project arose an immediate and overwhelming success and became the most copied model in the world: there is no company involved in the production of objectives, were them for taking, reproduction or enlarging purposes, which had not conceived at least one lens based on the classic 4 lenses - 3 groups Tessar type modern and emblazoned interpretations (Ai-P Nikkor 45mm f/2,8, Leica Elmar-M 50mm f/2,8 new), credited with excellent performance, confirm that the famous "Adlerauger" (the eye eagle) is still truly actual. The first set of objectives rightly honors the Tessar type project. To paraphrase the famous maxim "the phylogeny summarizes the Ontogeny", the evolution of the Zeiss brand, in it's multiform and suffered corporate transformisms and reorganizations, embodies a bit 'the history of modern photography itself, a great mother who has always introduced new technologies and formed skilled technicians which, like seeds carried by the wind, in turn have brought success to other famous companies, often reaching the top of their design offices, and of course the Zeiss production, structured between pre-war Carl Zeiss Jena and Zeiss Ikon and postwar Carl Zeiss Jena, Carl Zeiss Oberkochen and Zeiss Ikon Stuttgart, is really huge, a real triumph of forms and models: in this context, I have isolated a cross selection, with a broad spectrum of lenses produced in various periods and intended for a broad range of usages, even unknown to most people: the only common denominator is the famous brand name that identifies them. This article required a lot of preliminary job for researches as well as acquisition of unusual pieces, in some cases expensive, and I want to consider it a sort of Christmas gift dedicated to my many friends and enthusiasts of this topic.
