Our humble apologies if us mere mortals have offended the grand master and
protector of the Zeiss cult. But pray tell.......
1. In what manufacturing arrangement has Zeiss gone into with Kyocera
(which I presume is a big Japanese company which bought over Yashica)?
2. What are Kyocera's other camera/optic/and not so optic business interests?
3. Why did Zeiss have to partner with Kyocera or for that matter with anybody?
