In July 1965 the first Nikkormat (FT) was introduced fitted with a Copal Square shutter, which was more or less a gamble, as that shutter wasn´t fully tested yet. One of the many prototypes with external exposure meter
In the early 1960´s Nikon had taken over - together with Konica (Sakura) - the Copal Co., producer of camera shutters. Several prototypes were made with and without built-in exposure meters and various shutters. In 1964 Nikon started to test a successor, the Nikkormat.
Fitted with a Seiko shutter a second model (Nikkorex II) wasn´t better either. These camera series - fitted with a non-interchangeable lens with a built-in Citizen shutter - were not as reliable as Nikon expected and therefore were not a great success. In 1960 the Nikkorex series was put on the market. When Nikon introduced the Nikon F in 1959, meant for the professional photographer, Nikon decided to introduce a single lens reflex camera for the amateur photographer, too. The compact Asahi Pentax Spotmatic, presented at the 1960 Photokina and released in 1964, was an example for many single lens reflex cameras, including the Nikomat/Nikkormat series. Despite the nameplate both models are 100 % identical. Cameras in that series sold in Japan carry the name ´Nikomat´, while cameras sold abroad are named ´Nikkormat´. In the 1960´s Nikon Corporation introduced a series of cameras, of which most models are still used and working. Apple products have embedded themselves deeply into our lives. Nowadays, if you are not using your iPhone or iPad, you’re probably using iTunes – that’s how ever-present these little gadgets have become. For some of us, though, not all Apple products are sufficient or even relevant in terms of work and software capacity.So, occasionally, you’ll find yourself using specific iCloud settings on computers that run the Windows operating system.
