Picture: NIKON F 1965 (as
known as "THE NIKON" in the sixties) in black left to a
Rangefinder NIKON S2 (1955).
NIKON, formerly known as NIPPON KOGAKU
K.K. has a history as a camera maker since 1948 and
had produced lenses and rangefinder mounts since 1935. In the
late 1960's NIKON got the world number One in high-class/
professional use SLR cameras and kept this position for twenty
years.
Along this way, I would like to
share some stuff and history, about some heavy metal cameras
and lenses from 1955 - 1975 - a time long have passed. I
hope you'll enjoy it...
