I am still wrestling with my camera, which exacerbates the effort to photograph birds in flight. Do I set focus to Auto Focus Flexible (AFF) or Auto Focus Continuous (AFC)?

The sentence is ambiguous. As you clarify, Zeiss Ikon introduced single lens reflex viewing on a ground glass (with the Contax S), made popular by the Nikon F.

The book was hard to scan but see the attached.

You are absolutely right! Problem is I am not yet an expert to be looking in the right direction at the right time. I saw the man and dog as the ducks (or perhaps egrets) were flying away.

Of course they are collectible. And I could kick myself for it.Twenty three years ago I bought a Leica M with two lenses from a Dr. Eisenstadt (no relation to Alfred Eisenstadt, except they were both born in Germany, the former in 1905, the latter in 1898). But I sold it and bought two Mont Blanc Fountain Pens. Oh well.

I stood on the shores of a suburban lake waiting for the ducks to fly. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Finally, a man walking his dog on a leash, approached the ducks and they FLEW...in the opposite direction.

I am reading The History of Photography, Beaumont Newhall, Museum of Modern Art, NY 1982. On page 221 he writes, "... as in the popular Nokon F, introduced shortly after World War II by Zeiss Ikon of Dresden as the Contax S." I have been googling questions about Zeiss Ikon, Nikon F and Contax S, trying to confirm if this camera really was originally manufactured in Germany or if this is a mistake. My Nikon F was manufactured in Japan in 1971.
