You are speaking of course of "Zeiss Jenna", which was in East Germany, and therefore fully under the control of the Soviet Union. After WW2 this was a completely separate entity from Zeiss.
For clarity's sake, it is "Zeiss Jena".
An aside - I find the Zeiss fetish a little bemusing. It has been a long time since they have made camera lenses as good as the Japanese make. They were slow to adopt aspherics, and their pricing is rather outrageous. I guess the interesting "jump the shark" moment was when Hasselblad dumped Zeiss and moved to Fuji.
I'm sure the eyepieces will be fine, but at a price that stretches credulity.
