Extensively revised and updated for 2011, 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 AUTHOR: Brian Long is a professional writer, having written over forty motoring books, as well as Nikon-A Celebration. His twenties were spent using cameras as part of his job as a journalist and his engineering background slowly made him realise the technical innovations that went into each new model or lens. Slowly building up a collection of the finest Nikon and Canon cameras, he has learned to appreciate them first-hand by using them on a day-to-day basis. Resident - Japan ILLUSTRATIONS: 675 colour photographs *
