Thanks Carsten; that's actually quite informative, for I did idly wonder where the names came from.

I´m planning to work out a little glossary of the old names of the "Carl Zeiss Jena" lenses.
When it is finsihed I will post it in this forum.

See you



P.S.
Compare the lens arrangement of the modern Carl Zeiss Planar with the older Carl Zeiss Jena Pancolar... Very Happy

You should try to get Hartmut Thiele's books.

Yes, there is rumour that the Planar would have been copied from the Pancolar, but it does not make sense to me, Planar scheme was invented in year 1896: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeiss_Planar

Wikipedia is not in every issue a good and valid source for informations...
