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.
