History

International Camera A.G. ICA was formed in 1909 by the amalgamation of four different camera factories: Hüttig AG in Dresden, Wünsche AG in Reick near Dresden, Kamerawerk Dr.Rudolf Krügener in Frankfurt/M, and Carl Zeiss Palmos AG in Jena. Three years later G. Zulauf & Co. from Zurich was added to the firm.

ICA continued to produce the camera models of the partners before merger.

Wünsche made a large number of camera models, e.g. Bosco, Ada, Afpi, Kolibri, Vitri, Excelsior Syrene, Mars, Nymphe, Nixe, Lola, Knox, etc.

Lola was a continued Wünsche model before merger and produced with some different lenses during their manufacturing era.
