| + | :Yes, I think so. Somebody qualified might eventually write a short history of the Japanese camera, which would have to include prewar and wartime innovations, postwar recovery, cameras that appeared to copy (but were sometimes arguably better than) the Contax and Leica, advances with the SLR, etc etc. But I doubt that this is salvagable. As an example of what ''is'' about cameras, consider: ''After the cheap, sturdy and easy-to-use American cassette film camera types went out of fashion the Japanese camera makers dominated the world market by the sheer quality and leading technology of their half-automatic and fully automatic cameras for 35mm film and their leading role in the development of the digital cameras.'' Are the American camera Arguses? Instamatics? And what happened to Germany? Etc etc. -- [[User:Hoarier|Hoarier]] 06:31, 20 February 2012 (PST) | ||
