Das goldene Programm - die Vitessa 500 SE electronic (1968)

#diamantakis #studioanalog #vitessa500se The golden program, i.e. joint products of the companies Zeiss Ikon and Voigtländer, should ensure the economic survival of the aforementioned companies towards the end of the 1960s. The arrogance of the German photographic industry towards its own dealers gave Asian producers an excellent starting point for access to the European market. Thoughtful model maintenance, low-cost production and targeted expansion of industrial production in Asia, finally lead to the large-scale demise of the then over 100-year history of German photo products. The Vitessa 500 SE electronic tells us a story from the time of a long lost competitive struggle. 00:00 Introduction 00:49 Background to the decline of the German photo industry. 03:47 No salvation through the golden program 05:17 The Vitessa 500 SE electronic 06:58 On our own business 07:22 Closing words The "Diamantakis" collection contains about 4,000 exhibits from the fields of photography and cinematography, including numerous exhibits from the Eumig company. Now it is looking for publicly accessible premises for a museum to document in detail the history of photo and film development. The greatest possible flexibility has been ensured in the choice of location. If you are interested to house the collection closed without snatching "fillet pieces" please contact: [email protected].
