This is the complete history of the Nikon brand, from its very beginning at the start of the twentieth century as Nippon Kogaku (Japan Optical) through to the present day. Although the book's main subject is the company's world-famous camera and Nikkor lenses, there is a wealth of background information and a brief overview of what Nikon's competitors were producing during any given period to put the story into perspective. Useful appendices contain information on rangefinder, SLR, digital an underwater cameras - plus details on the dedicated flashguns and Nikon pocket cameras.
This book is much more than just a history of the high-quality cameras and lenses that have made the Nikon brand a household name - it is also a chronicle of the birth of this most famous of Japanese photography equipment manufacturers and the way in which it has evolved down the years to keep abreast of advances in technology and ahead of the competition.
Heavily illustrated throughout the main chapters with rare archive material from around the world, and augmented by a feast of original shots and pictures of the cameras in use, the text is backed up by extensive appendices containing everything the avid Nikon collector needs to know. 224 pages, Hardback 270x280 mm, 675 colour photographs.
