After World War II it specialised in cinema projection lenses, but in the 1950s supplied lenses for several types and brands of German cameras such as Apparate & Kamerabau, Balda, Bilora, Franka, Wirgin (and others). Camera lens type names of Isco were Isco-Mat, Iscotar, Isconar, Tele-Iscaron, Westar, Westanar, Westron, and Westromat.
