or maybe a Zeiss Ikon I Pod. One or the other.

I think the Ikon will finally go wireless. Ikon WiFi. It's been a long time coming.

 

[kshapero]

I think its gonna be called iKon 🙂

Nice Erik, right nice.

 

[DelDavis]

I also heard that Zeiss would be supplying the manual focus mechanism from the iKon for use in the next iPhone.

I've heard on the grapevine that Konica Minolta have decided to re-launch the Hexa at Photokina ... in digital format this time.

 

[Clark Van Orden]

I am so hoping for a digital.

 

[Avotius]

digital has not made it far enough to give us the full frame sub 3000 dollar iKon we all secretly want, unless there are super secret digital developments going on, which im sure there are but not to the level we wish. My guess....nothing from Zeiss, maybe a new lens, but more likely just showing off their already ridiculously good line.

In the meantime there will be the Hello Kitty Edition.

How secretive were they about Zeiss Ikon and SW before 2004 and 2006. I wasn't around back then.

How old are you?

But, seriously, I don't think they said much. Was pretty much a surprise, right?

I'd bet for a new camera + lens

I'm quite confident they will reveal us a great surprise this year. After all, Photokina is played in Germany and they'll want to make a great figure "at home", even because next one is in 2010. No, I'm pretty sure that something is almost to come out of the Zeiss cauldron.

Good night.

Well realistic or not I am more then hoping for a Zeiss Ikon Digital

 

[peripatetic]

I am quite keen on the Zeiss iPod.

Actually I hope they don't bring out a digital just yet, my finances are temporarily a bit stretched and I don't think I could withstand the GAS. Of course I do have a Canon 5D and some lenses I could trade in...

 

[yzblog]

The appearance of the Zeiss iPod is more than sure.

Well, on the other hand it is not going to be a digital iPod but an analogue one which will play traditional vinyl as the extremely high resolution asks for such a media...

 

[ferider]

They will release a new 50/f0.939 Planar to compete with the new 0.95 Noctiliux released next door.

I am still hoping for a digital Nikon RF. Or at least an M/LTM mount version of the 50/1.4 🙂

Ok... and seriously? Any other real rumor about Photokina?
