RE: Noblex 150 E image quality

[Cedar Springs B&B Lodge <cedarsprings@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a quote from the history of Noblex Cameras from the web site
address:
http://www.kamera-werk-dresden.de/english/historie/default.htm
"The taking over of the Carl-Zeiss-Jena Flatoptical Workshop in 1991 was the
beginning for us to supply famous national and international manufacturers
of laser, medicine, measurement technology and of optical devices with our
flatoptical components produced according to special needs of our
customers."

You can see the rest of the history of Noblex (and Praktika, Praktiflex and
Pentacon...all from the same factory) at the above address.

Noblex will produce any optical glass/mirrors/prisms to order...they can
replace to original specifications.
