Hello all...it is nice to find a group of Zeiss enthusiasts with their own online forum. My name is Jeff and I live outside Tulsa Oklahoma 40 married with two boys 11 and almost 7.
Recently I have aquired a few Carl Zeiss Jena microscopes from Ebay as I am an aquarium hobbyist and in the midst of putting together a nice scope I seem to have hooked myself up with a Contaflex Super system of sorts. I have never been into photography whatsoever before but I have wanted to have a nice film camera for a long time now mainly for family pics. I have been studying the net pretty hard concerning photography in general and Zeiss Ikon cameras and this is how I have come across you folks. I have browsed about the website here looked at some of your threads and checked out some of your pics and I am impressed with your dedication and enthusiasm and your talent. I hope to learn how to take good pics by going out and shooting the film (I have me a beginning stock of about two dozen rolls of film) I have been shooting a lot lately (Contarama on Flickr) and now I have joined your club to hopefully learn things from you all...
At any rate...there you go that is my first post...hope you all will reply...and stay tuned because I will post some pictures of my gear here real soon hopefully you will be impressed...
