In 1959 these are the cameras that Zeiss-Icon thought would be confused with the Nikon F.

Ikoflex Favorit
Ikoflex Ib with meter

Bullseye - introduced in 1959 alongside the Nikon F, Zeiss thought this was the finest [funniest] 35 ever built.

Where was Nikon when I needed help with my terrible camera addition? I will try to be more serious -- as befits a man of my years, various degrees, and widespread respect in my community.

Well Fred,
I have to argue about Mr Zeiss not selling stuff around 1959....as your friend says often " don't have enough intelectual inspiration to look it up" or something along those lines.

Nice picture of Mr.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (NIKON KIU) http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/sreply/4972 Thu, 19 Jul 2007 18:57:37 GMT http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/reply/4970/t/German-Nikkor-F.html#reply-4970 What me serious? Can we take a man in this hat seriously?

Kiu do you think a lot of people drove into an Exxon gas station, said "fill 'er up," and got a gas tank full of camera parts? Those cameras really clog up the fuel lines!

Oddly Exxon did sell the first fax machine in the US, the Qwip. I actually worked on a collaborative artwork with those early machines.

Well Jan,
The reason Zeiss argued to stop Nippon Kogaku from selling their products in Germany was just that, Nikon being too close of a name to Ikon. Granted at the time the Japenese were known for their practice of "Copying" but arguing about names is not the only reason... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (NIKON KIU) http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/sreply/4968 Thu, 19 Jul 2007 17:48:41 GMT http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/reply/4967/t/German-Nikkor-F.html#reply-4967 ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Jan) http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/sreply/4967 Thu, 19 Jul 2007 14:44:55 GMT http://nikonhistoricalsociety.yuku.com/reply/4965/t/German-Nikkor-F.html#reply-4965
More interesting is that Zeiss Icon thought Germans so easily confused, that they might ask for a "Zeiss Icon" camera and get a "Nikon" (marked Toyko) by accident! What would the salesman say?
