I recently went through the Phoblographer's archives and found an article linked here, written in 2012. Back then, we reported on how Cosina had discontinued the Zeiss Ikon cameras. We even confirmed with our Zeiss reps back then that the announcement had been made to their dealers.

I remember being on the phone that day and feeling super sad about the news. The Zeiss Ikon ZM line of cameras was always envied by many photographers who didn't want to use the Voigtlander Bessa VM cameras but couldn't afford the Leica M series of film cameras. Today, in 2024, I'm inclined to think that this was their biggest mistake. . thephoblographer.com
