Re: Konishiroku

Interesting historical lineage. Thank you. It incited me to look a little further. Not looking to steal your thunder.. Just an Old Konica, and Konica Minolta shooter.

Konica-Konishiroku-history The company was founded in 1873, during the first decade of Japan's industrial revolution, by Rokusaburo Sugiura, who suggested that his employer, the Konishiya apothecary in Kojimachi, Tokyo, begin to sell the new cameras and photographic materials that were being imported from Europe and the United States.

Here is a vintage Pearl... Great Grand father of the Konica Minolta 7D.

Thanks again for this thread.

Bill
