Presentation Session

Chris Sap lectured on Nikon F2 High Speed 250 of the phantom.
The F2H 250 is about ten special models whom Nikon manufactured for the press photographer. His research was a seriously interesting presentation that had been covered directly from the verification of real machines and the developer of Nikon.

Simon Nathan & Nikon 'Sequence Motor'

Bill Kraus reported on the research on photographer Mr. Simon Nathan, his old friend.
As you know, after World War II, his "Simon Sez" columns in popular photography magazines was very useful among the amateur photographers and professionals.
Bill-san talked about the valuable fact not known about Simon and his Nikon motor drive work. It was a valuable wonderful story.

The SP with 250 Back

Mr. Ryu Koakimoto, professional photojournalist, showed us the advertisement of an old camera magazine, ASAHI CAMERA. It is written in Japanese as follows.

My name is Simon Nikon.
I changed my family name into Nikon because I loved Nikon camera.
Mail correctly reaches me if you wrote Nikon on the address.

His smile is attractive.
His Nikon S36 motor camera and Nikkor 1000mm F6.3 lens are very fantastic!

My name is Simon Nikon (Japanese language)
