History of Fujinon: From the First Computer used for Lens Design, to Large Format, EBC Coating and more
When I published my top 10 “failed” cameras of Fujifilm article, we looked back at the entire X series history with cameras that probably some of you never heart of or have forgotten about.
Some FR-readers appreciated that sort of little Fuji X history review. So I thought that, if a little Fuji history is appreciated now and then, then maybe you want to check out the history of Fujinon series that Fujifilm has published in the past.
The series consists in 7 episodes that cover the following topics:
- The History of FUJINON episode 1 – 1938: the Origin
- The History of FUJINON episode 2 – 1951: Enter Large Format Lenses
- The History of FUJINON episode 3 – 1956: Meet FUJIC, the first computer to help with lens design
- The History of FUJINON episode 4 – 1972: Introducing EBC or “Electron Beam Coating”
- The History of FUJINON episode 5 – 1970: Fujifilm releases the Fujica ST701, their first SLR camera
- The History of FUJINON episode 6 – 1986: Introducing the Fuji GX680, professional medium format film camera
- The History of FUJINON episode 7 – 1994: Fujinon completed 10 lenses for CM Fujinon series
Another great way to learn about the Fujifilm history, is to read Patrik’s guest post, where he looks at the entire Fujifilm history and identifies 10 cameras that put the base for features we find in today’s modern X and GFX series cameras.
