But you know what they say about ducks, if it looks like one, walks like one, quacks like one...<br />Take the Leica shutter and compare it to the one in the Nikon rangefinder cameras and the Nikon F. The entire sytem is vitually the same, the position of the winding lever, the shutter speed dial as well as the shutter release, including the collar type cable release system which was hardly used by any other camera manufacturer. The advance interlock, which allowed unlimited multiple exposures, also something not used by anyone else. Or take the double lens, in a single mount stereo sytem, including the prism arrangement. All this was used and marketed by Leica prior to Nikon. Are you seriously suggesting that Nikon wasn't aware of that and independently developed these ystems on their own?

And where did I state that Nikon made a copy of a Leica camera? What I did say is that Nikon got its start by copying Zeiss and Leica lenses and cameras. Apparently you did not use the link to the "Leica Tech in Nikon Cameras" article, otherwise you would have realized that the first Nikon camera was a copy of the Zeiss Contax, however, with a copy of a Leica shutter instead of the much more complicated Zeiss Contax shutter.LEICA Barnack Berek Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09055435560407011075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1320126156594375642.post-49627382493144529272013-10-02T09:50:05.638-05:002013-10-02T09:50:05.638-05:00Aren't you knocking Nikon to make Leica look b...Aren't you knocking Nikon to make Leica look better?
