Contax branded camera business terminated : Kyocera (President: Yasuo Nishiguchi) has decided to terminate Contax branded camera business, although Carl Zeiss and Kyocera have entered into a long term co-operation regarding the development, production and sale of Contax branded cameras. Kyocera has made this decision due to difficulties in catching up with the recent rapid market changes. Consequently, Kyocera will terminate the shipment of Contax branded cameras, and the exclusive lenses and accessories in September, 2005, except for the Contax 645 camera system, the shipment of which to some markets will come to an end in December, 2005. Kyocera will continue to provide after-sales services over a maximum period of ten years.
