The History of Zeiss through 1945 by Vladimir Khazan Carl Zeiss Zeiss Ikon PHSNE Virtual Meetings

VISIT OUR WEBSITE: https://www.phsne.org/ PHSNE member Vladimir Khazan will be the speaker for the October virtual meeting. He will discuss the history of Zeiss Ikon and show cameras from his collection. The presentation will concentrate on the company’s history up to 1945 and cameras manufactured before the war. Zeiss Ikon, founded as a small microscope maker, grew into a very large camera manufacturing business. During World War II the company did not come up with a single new project; after the war, the company’s operations were split between East and West Germany. Khazan’s interest in Zeiss Ikon originated with his first camera which he received on his twelfth birthday, but his love of photography predates that. His father returned from WW II with an Ikonta 4.5x6. It was the family’s only camera, and it traveled with them on vacations, after which he helped his father develop the film. “It was fascinating to sit in the dark bathroom, with only a red light, and watch the photos magically appearing. My part was to turn the enlarger on, count aloud, and turn the enlarger off. I wanted to learn how to use the camera, and my father explained how it works.” At age ten, Khazan was playing with the camera and broke it. He was not allowed to touch the modern SLR that replaced it without his father’s supervision. “It was torture,” he writes, “but not for long.” His father taught him how to use the new camera, and when he got his Zeiss Ikon, he was ready to accept full responsibility for all family photographic chronicles. Khazan writes, “Nowadays, everyone has a camera in a pocket, but it was not always so. I belong to a generation that experienced glass plate, sheet film, 120, 35mm, Polaroid and digital cameras—progress took place very rapidly. It’s people who make that possible, which is why my presentations always include stories about enthusiastic scientists who contributed their knowledge, talents, time, and resources to move photography forward. Most of those scientists studied chemistry, mathematics, physics, engineering, philosophy, and astronomy; some were musicians or artists, and everyone was an experimenter.” The contents of the program will eventually be incorporated into The History of Photography, a set of talks on Youtube.
