Hello Jarle-san,

Yes, Nikon Kenkyukai have some friendly connection with Nikon Corporation.
I think the professional historians who are employees of Nikon are very few.
However, they are excellent historians, and writing wonderful articles though they are young.

Does Nikon Kenkyukai Tokyo have any connection with Nikon itself, or even better: Nikon's own historian (I believe there is such a person?)

Apparently, it's very difficult to get Nikon Japan to reply to anything (is it a cultural thing?), making it extremely difficult to do any serious research.

Thanks for maintaining a great site. It's always interesting to read your reports!

Hello Mike-san,

Yes, NIKKO Rangefinder is great collection.

"Nikko Rangefinder will be part of the NIKKO exhibit at Con-11 in Vancouver, B.C. April 18th/19th."

Yeah, that sounds great!
More power to you!!

Hello gpedens-san,

The person who is collecting the Nikon theodolite is very few also in Japan.
So, your Nikon theodolite collection is great.
I think that it is difficult to find the instruction manual in Japan.
However, you will be able to meet her sooner or later.

Hello Mike-san,

Yes, the 12x NIKKO "Fortress" binoculars is very rare in Japan.
However, she might be sleeping in the antique shop in Kyoto.

Hello Akiyama-san;

I was venry interested in the Type 95 Rangefinder as I have this exact instrument. Mine appears to be fully complete, as the one shown on the Nikon table seems to have some parts misisng. A freind of mine bought it in an Ohio Antique Mall and can you believe....carried it onto the plane for the flight back to Portland, OR. Imagine in this post 911 world, being able to do that these days!

Incidentially this Type 95 Nikko Rangefinder will be part of...

Mr. Akiyan, I am trying to find an instruction manual and information on a Nikon theodolite that I have. I noticed that in a September 2005 Kenkyukai report you mentioned a Mr. Neko or Neko-san that was a collector of Nippon Kogaku optical instruments. You showed a picture of an NT2 theodolite. The theodolite I have is similar to the NT2. The only identification on the theodolite I have is "Nikon 75440" and an oval shaped paper sticker with red letters that says " 720501...

Hello Akiyama-san;

I loved the Sept 15th. layout, and in particular the boxed lenses for their Profile Projector. I have the box for these projector lenses but alas....it was missing most of the lenses inside. I did, however, have some of these lenses.

I was also interested in the 12x NIKKO "Fortress" binoculars. Fascinating! They would look great in my NIKKO collection (grin!), but I think they are very rare. Interesting to note the lever to insert the...
