Carl Zeiss (6909161791)

The founder of Carl Zeiss. Raised in Weimar, Germany, he became a notable lens maker in the 1840s when he created high quality lenses that were "wide open", or in other words, had a very large aperture range that allowed for very bright images. He did this in the city of Jena at a self opened workshop, where he started his lens making career. At first his lenses were mainly used in the production of microscopes, but when cameras were invented, his company began manufacturing high quality lenses for cameras.
