Was browsing on Rollei history and saw this:

Look at the center of the graph. Zeiss Ikon was ended and parts went to Rollei, Yashica and Ikon (Finnish/Swedish). What Shocked Question

Anyone know something?
EDIT: I mean the Ikon. Camerapedia knows 150 most obscure Japanese TLR-makers but not Ikon.

IKON AG / IKON GmbH brand belongs to the Assa Alboy company now, which is Swedish/Finnish.
Look at the
www.assaabloy.com/en/com/About-ASSA-ABLOY/Market--Brands/All-Brands/
and
www.ikon.de/index.php?key=historie&lang=en

It's not manufacturing cameras. Zeiss Ikon company was making cameras and door/safe locks before, but only locks business (and the Ikon trademark) went to Assa Alboy.

Thank you! Actually it went first to Abloy (finnish) and with Abloy to Assa-Abloy.

Interesting to know that there were Anschutz cameras and Zeiss locks. But after all, my wife still has Nokia rubber boots. Smile
