Hello,
my name is Hans von Draminski. I live in Bavaria, Germany nearly all 43 years of my life. Over the years there was hardly a modern Contax camera I didn't use, beginning with my brother's 139 over RX and ST up to AX and N1. When the digital era came I had to switch over to Nikon on behalf of my profession as a newspaper journalist and photographer. Recently I found the (analogue) way back to Contax and Zeiss buying two G bodies (G1 & G2) with lenses.
After all my interest in Zeiss is not completely concentrated in camera gear but also in the fascinating history of the Zeiss branch and its founder Ernst Abbe. One of the first employers worldwide to pay social wages for his employees and to allow them to have vacation time. In his living years he and his factory were avantgarde. Today Zeiss is still something very special not only regarding the quality of lenses and camera bodies...
Greetings to all,
Hans
