Pentax Imaging – Excellence, When it Comes to CamerasPosted on 03:37, March 9th, 2009 by Editor
The firm is most excellently known for its sophisticated product of “Pentax” cameras, preliminary with the essential “Asahi Pentax” single-lens impulse camera of 1957, which went after on from Asahi’s first sequence of cameras, the Asahiflex of 1952. The accomplishment of the Pentax sequence was so excellent that the corporation finally renamed itself “Pentax Corporation” after the product. Even though the firm ultimately amalgamated into Hoya Corporation, Hoya carries on to build up and promote cameras beneath the same brand, by means of its ‘Pentax’ division. The company was established as Asahi Kogaku Goshi Kausha in November 1919 by Kumao Kajiwara, at a store in the Toshima town of Tokyo, and started manufacturing spectacle lenses (which it continues to produce). In 1938 it altered its name to Asahi Optical Co., Ltd.Asahi Kōgaku Kōgyō Kabushiki-gaisha), and already it was also producing camera/cine lenses. In the lead-up to World War II, Asahi Optical dedicated much of its time to satisfying military agreements for optical instruments. At the end of the war Asahi Optical was broke up by the living in forces, being permissible to reorganization in 1948. The company recommenced its pre-war activities, producing binoculars and consumer camera lenses for Konishiroku and Chiyoda Kōgaku Seikō (later Konica and Minolta in that order).
