Canon, headquartered in Tokyo, is a Japanese company that specializes in imaging and optical products, including cameras, photocopiers and computer printers.

The company was founded in 1933 with the name Seiki-kougaku-kenkyuujo (or Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory) by the co-founder Yoshida Goro and his brother-in-law Uchida Saburo, funded by Takeshi Mitarai, a close friend of Uchida. Its original purpose was to research into the development of quality cameras. In June 1934 they released their first camera, the Kwanon, named after the Buddhist goddess of mercy. The following year the company name was changed to Canon in a more modern reflection of the name.

The company's first cameras were Leica threadmount rangefinder clones. They closely followed the Leica specifications for the threadmount lens (M39) but added innovations including a switchable magnification combined viewfinder/rangefinder. Canon at first did not have its own optical factory, so they used lenses made by Nikon, but they soon started to make their own lenses under the Serenar brand. These lenses remain popular even now by users of Canon or Leica rangefinders.


35mm Rangefinder

35mm SLR (Manual Focus)

R Mount (1959-1963)

FL Mount (1964-1969)

FD Mount (1970-1990)

35mm SLR (Auto Focus)

EF Mount

Canon's EF mount is the largest wide-throated lens mount for modern 35mm-format SLR cameras (film or digital). As such it is also the most adaptable: though AF functions do not work, many users have adapted their EOS bodies to use lenses from Nikon, Contax, Leica, Pentax, and others.
