Zeiss guys? 
How much is this Zeiss thing and how much is it a Cosina thing?
Erwin sure seems to think Zeiss has It's name on the line and it's THEIR
deal with the 400 lines issue. A bridge too far - he should know I think he
lives next to it.
But first out we were told this was Cosina having bought the Zeiss Ikon name
just like with the Voigtl?nder name.
Which is it?
Or how to these two lines blur?
