More about Nikon
The Nikon Corporation, listed on the Nikkei 225, is a Japanese manufacturer of cameras, lenses and other precision optical devices such as microscopes, binoculars and spotting scopes. In 2002, the company had about 14,000 employees. Their headquarters is Tokyo. Nikon has been actively involved in the European market since around 1961, when Nikon AG Switzerland was founded in Zurich. The company is one of the world's most important photo technology companies.
The company's history dates back to 1917, when the three companies Tokyo Keiki Seisaku Sho, Iwaki Glass Manufacturing and Fujii Lens Seizo Sho merged to form Nippon Kogaku Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha on July 25. The merger was supported by the Mitsubishi group, to which Nikon still belongs today.
Nikon's most popular products include 35mm and digital cameras, Nikkor camera lenses and Nikonos underwater cameras. The first camera actually called a ‘Nikon’ was the Nikon I rangefinder camera introduced on March 7, 1948. This was modelled on the Contax II from Germany, even using the Contax’s bayonet connection, but with deviations in the control curve which are noticeable at longer focal lengths and the unusual image format of 24x32mm. Nikon’s international reputation was established with the largely identical successor – the model Nikon M, which was made from 1949 to 1950.
However, the real breakthrough came with the Nikon S (1950-1955) which was officially produced for export. The Nikon S2 (from the end of 1954) was the first Nikon to have the more usual 24x36mm picture format. The Nikon SP, made from 1957 to 1965, boasted professional specifications.
