Zeiss Ikon Tenax I Year?
Zeiss Ikon Tenax I Year?
Hi to everyone, I’ve just purchased a Zeiss Ikon Tenax I with this serial number: M44381. I’ve read that it was built in 3 small batches of 10000 units which the prefix letter H, J and M from 1939 to 1941 and some others until 1945 but I would like to know if there are mor accurate information about this information.

I assume that the lens has no serial number?

That’s right Zeiss Novar lenses were unnumbered. A curious thing is that the combination of letter and number seem to be the same of Contax ones but cannot find accurate divine ration about this fact. Internet is full of coy-paste information

Compur shutters normally also have serial numbers, the problem is that the shutter is hidden. If you are very brave and very handy you might try to remove the front part. Here is a link with instructions. But maybe it is safe to send a message to check if indeed there is a serial number inside before you start.

So risky to have a try..... I prefer to believe that this camera shares the contax serials
