A list of Japanese optical companies in 1958.
Perhaps helpful for tracing the origins of many unknown lenses ? But there are lots of them ! The possibilities are wide indeed.
I see some of the old familiar ones here - Asahi, Canon, Nippon (Nikon), etc. But also some of the third party makers -
Fujita -
Fujita Optical Industrial Co., Ltd. 4-195, Harigaya, Urawa-Shi Saitama
(Urawa) 3503, 4700 C. Fujita
Komura -
Sankyo Optical Co., Ltd 2-8, Naka-Jujo, Kita-ku, Tokyo (91) 1311 Y. Mitsuhashi
Komine -
Nitto Optical Co., Ltd. 27, Inatsuke-Shimashita-cho, Kita-ku, Tokyo T.
Matsumoto
Tamron -
Taisei Optical Industrial Co., Ltd. 1385, Oaza-Hasunuma, Omiya-Shi,
Saitama (Omiya) 2149, 2066 K. Arai
etc. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |
