Classic Japanese Camera

The world of Japanese cameras began with emulation; Japanese camera makers struggling to reach the level of their overseas competitors. But it gradually became a story of manufacturing excellence, precision, and innovation.
And used cameras of the highest quality are currently available on the Japanese market thanks to the care and attention of their owners, in no small part due to Japan’s tradition of value for all things. There’s no question that Japanese camera makers still lead the world in the digital age, but the SLR and rangefinder film cameras born out of those early days still hold a special place in the hearts of camera lovers and professional photographers everywhere.

1950年代から欧米の先進メーカーに追いつこうとさかんに技術革新を続け、以降世界のカメラ市場を席巻し続ける日本のカメラは、その機械精度の高さから、昭和の時代に製造された製品にも熱い視線が注がれています。一眼レフカメラやレンジファインダーカメラ、さらにそのレンズや周辺アクセサリーに至るまで、日本カメラの人気は衰えることを知りません。
