About E-MILDESSA user group

Flickr E-MILDESSA user group (also: ROTESSA and S-CORTESSA)
for the few people known to be shooting with either an Entzenberg MILDESSA or its successors Entzenberg ROTESSA and S-CORTESSA.

================================================================

Discussions should cover the compilation of a basic MILDESSA-FAQ catalogue but should as well provide room for more specific questions on subjects ranging from the notoriously difficult handling of the legendary extension tube PRIXOKLAX to advance artistic usage of the silky Telefax portrait lens, the AURA lens mount heater and the hard-to-find ZEWA W/W distortion shredder.
The discussion of the unique design of the experimental lenses originally developed by Entzenberg and repeatedly recalculated by Dr.Kowald Schrauber and his Swedish son-in-law, Ing.Ekstad, will naturally have to be subjects of special interest, only limited by the untimely end of this production era by Dr.Schrauber's unexpected disappearance at Peenemünde covered so successfully by the Nazi press.

(Discussions should not necessarily intensify the coverage of the full story of decay in the post war era which has so extensively been commented on elsewhere, e.g. the sale of the brand rights to a company from another commercial field and the unlucky relocation plans towards the Far East (related to the sad Cape Horn loss of the shipped factory equipment after the war, which was to prevent a renewed blossoming of the company's traditions under Inoshiro "Godzilla" Honda's guidance) and the sad and final chapter with the name of Entzenberg becoming synonymous with an ubiquitous brand of food processing surveillance cameras.)
