Read in another forum/blog that the silver Zeiss Ikon is discontinued. The black Ikon is still in production....

There are many Zeiss Ikon camera's, I assume you refer to the ZM model?

If only Zeiss stuck a D700 sensor in that camera.

considering the 'other' marque is having a long waiting list and with an obscene price tag, ZM could at least give them a run for their money... (wishful thinking, i know....)

I thought the charm of the ZM was that it takes film, no? The ZM and SW series are always under fire being called camera's for snobs looking at the pricing compared to 'similar' camera's like Bessa that cost a 'fraction' of the ZI models. The Zeiss Ikon SW is not as expensive as the ZM but still on the high side and is known for a camera with a few problems here and there.

Nevertheless, I would love to add a ZM to my own collection. Yes, I am a snob. Together with a CZ 28mm (or 24mm) a brilliant pair.

The ZM would have been a great collectors item if not for the electronic shutter.
