Voigtlander Camera History

Voigtlander Camera History goes back to 1759 when Johann Christoph Voigtländer founded the company in Vienna. It is in fact the oldest camera name in history.

In 1841, Voigtlander pruduced the worlds first all-metal daguerrotype camera (Ganzmetallkamera).

Voigtlander became the first to introduce the zoom lens in 1960. In 1965, they were the first to introduce a 35mm compact camera with built-in electronic flash (Vitrona).

In 1965, Zeiss and Voigtländer integrated. However, they stopped producing cameras in 1972. In 1973, Zeiss then sold Voigtländer to Rollei. In 1982, Plusfoto took control of the name. In 1997, they sold it to Ringfoto.
