I have read on a number of occasions that the various Pantar lenses made for both the cheaper Contaflex models as well as certain Continas that could accept alternative focal lengths, were made for Zeiss by Rodenstock. I can't speak to the veracity of this but it is an assertion that might be found from a range of sources, FYI.Not quite. As far as I can make out there were no Zeiss (Jena or Opton) marked lenses by third party makers. However, the 1951-52 Zeiss Ikon Nettar II sold in Western Germany was unusual in that it was fabricated in the GDR (Dresden) for Zeiss Ikon Stuttgart, with lenses marked Rodenstock Novar.
I suspect political reasons for that - Zeiss Ikon probably needed a Western lens by Western political demand (or taxation pressure), so no Jena lens could be used, while the Eastern boards and authorities refused any Opton lens, so the compromise of a Western third party maker was used.
On the same topic I have also read, I'm sure, that after the merger of Zeiss Ikon and Voigtlander to form ZI/V certain lenses, Eg some for the Icarex SLRs, were produced by Voigtlander but marked as Carl Zeiss. Eg the Zeiss 50mm Tessar which as I understand it is really a Voigtlander Skopar (same design of course, two single elements plus a cemented doublet closest the film). But ZI and Voigtlander were the same company by then, anyway, so it's really a difference that isn't much of a difference.
