A few decades ago, I attended a series of symposiums and presentations in Germany about the conductor/composer, Wilhelm Furtwängler. The events took place at the University of Jena. Yep. Where Carl Zeiss began his lens making empire. Is there a statue of him in a prominent place? Heck yes! My favorite Carl Zeiss story: "Microscopes produced by the apprentices which did not meet the strict standards of precision he set were destroyed on the workshop anvil personally by Zeiss." Have a fine week. 🥃🐧

Zeiss sounds like he was a tough boss.

I read somewhere that he once shot a man a Reno - just to watch him die. No. Wait - that was Johnny Cash. Or maybe it was Bernie Sanders? Nevermind 😏@@DavidHancock

I have a late production model of the Zeiss Box Tengor 55/2, which is quite similar to the 56/2 in the video. It is such a wonderful camera to use! I had some fun shooting Lomo Purple with my 55/2 last summer. These Zeiss box cameras can produce some wonderful photos.

Thanks. Very clear explanation. Mine has a shutter at the top which looks like the Bulb pull out slider. Probably best using a tripod with these cameras.

Do you have any idea approximately how wide this lens is? I did some looking around and didn't see a spec. BTW, you're right - in Europe, it was 1-2, 2-8 and 8-inf meters. This looks like a very reasonable price point to put a 120 vintage grin on my face. Thanks again!

I don't know the exact focal length for this, but the AoV feels approximately normal, maybe slightly wide.

How many rolls of film did it eat? My guess is none.

Lol, none but the shutter was a bit slow and many of the shots were blurry.
