New Digital Nikon Camera Made by a Member

A member talked about the color film in 1929. We researched the advertisement of the Kodak color film that had been published in the ASAHI CAMERA magazine in Showa 4 (1929).

We are studying about Nikon always ardently

Ryu Koakimoto talked about the film development system in 1950's. At that time, Kodachrome was not able to be developed in Japan. Koakimoto was to have mailed the film from Japan to the Kodak film developing lab in Hawaii. He talked that a cloth bag for mailing was attached to the film.
