I have heard that Zeiss during various times gave Leitz mare than a run
for their money. If this turns out to be really true it would not deeply
surprise me or break my heart. I am generally interested in the
Zeiss/Leitz competition. The latest I've read is that Barnak brought his
camera design over from Zeiss because they STHEO* kept making him sweep
the floors!
