The introduction of electronics and miniaturisation in cameras meant that outside the communist world there were unheard-of marvels, even for medium-format cameras, such as zoom lenses, auto-focus, internal full-aperture metering, fully-automatic diaphragm operation and much, much more. People discovered that the rest of the world had moved on. With the collapse of the communist system and the sudden opening of former-communist countries to the world economy, the “time bubble” in which the communist bloc had existed for decades “burst”. Unfortunately, it appears to have produced lenses under this name for little more than a year. In 1990 when the whole communist political, economic and manufacturing structure collapsed, the company became “Feinoptische Werk Görlitz GmbH”. Needless to say, these lenses were also marked with the letters “DDR”. Literature produced at the time by Pentacon said that the lenses would be called “Pentaconar”, although in fact the name engraved on the lenses from this point on was “Pentacon”, and from 1979 this was replaced by the name “Prakticar” on many lenses produced by the former Meyer-Optik. In 1968 Meyer-Optik was absorbed into the large State-owned company “Kombinat VEB Pentacon Dresden”, and from 1971 the name Meyer no longer appeared on the lenses that it produced. In 1946 the company was nationalised and became “VEB Feinoptisches Werk Görlitz”, although the name “Meyer-Optik Görlitz” continued to appear on many of the lenses that it manufactured. They partnered mainly with Ihagee Dresden, whom they provided with lenses in the Exakta mount while making M42 mount lenses for Praktica cameras.Īfter the end of World War II it was mostly limited to supplying lenses for East German cameras, since Görlitz was in the Soviet-occupied sector of Germany that became the “GDR”. They produced mainly M42 mount lenses although they also used the Exakta mount.Īfter World War II, Meyer-Optik became VEB Optisch-Feinmechanische Werke Görlitz and one of the most important lens manufacturers in the newly created German Democratic Republic, DDR. Nonetheless, mechanically and optically (and despite their age) Meyer-Optik lenses remain strongly desirable. Meyer wasn't a high-end lens manufacturer like Leica or Carl Zeiss because of this compared to Carl Zeiss Jena, who was a market leader at the time, the lenses were usually offered at a lower price. In the 1930s Meyer-Optik already had a wide range of high-quality interchangeable lenses. Another important step was the delivery of OEM-lenses for camera manufacturers - such as the Exakta from Ihagee. Rudolph, the famous Plasmat lenses were developed and the Kino-Plasmat was the world's fastest lens at the time. Paul Rudolph, who had previously been involved in some of Carl Zeiss Jena's most important lens developments (Protar, Planar, Tessar). They created lenses at a very early stage and to continued to do so even in a divided Germany for many years.
