GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Use this notebook for contact-sheet notes, camera settings, travel plans, sketches, or the next photo project. Its Minolta connection reaches back to Osaka in 1928 and forward through the Nifcarette, Minolta-35, SR-2, SR-T, X-700, and Alpha, Maxxum, and Dynax systems. A useful companion for film shooters, digital-image historians, Rokkor collectors, and fans of Japanese camera design.
Minolta began in Osaka, Japan, in 1928, when Kazuo Tashima established Nichi-Doku Shashinki Shōten, a Japanese-German camera shop. Its first product, the Nifcarette bellows camera, arrived in March 1929. The Minolta name was adopted for cameras in 1931, while the business operated as Chiyoda Kōgaku Seikō K.K. from 1937 to 1962 before taking Minolta as its final company name. Its camera history included the Minolta-35 rangefinder in 1947, the SR-2 35mm SLR in 1958, and the SR-T line with TTL metering in 1966. Minolta also collaborated with Leitz from 1972, building the Leica CL and contributing designs related to later Leica R cameras. In 1981 Saul Bass designed the Rising Sun logo, and the X-700 manual-focus SLR was introduced. The 1985 Alpha, Maxxum, and Dynax system became the first commercially successful autofocus SLR line. Minolta merged with Konica in 2003 to form Konica Minolta. In 2006, Konica Minolta ended camera and photo operations and transferred DSLR assets to Sony, whose Alpha A100 followed that year.
