Nikon, A Celebration - Tapa dura

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.

Brian Long is a long-time enthusiast and collector of all thing Nikon. He is a professional motoring writer based in Japan, and this book has been written with the aid of considerable assistance from those at Nikon and elsewhere in that country.
