In fairness to the other half of this forum, apparently Minolta was a pioneer in the field as well, introducing the overlaid rangefinder/viewfinder and coming up with the accessory cold shoe mount.

And adorned with a Pentax Tessar. I may be out more money

Peculiar that some the very first Konica lenses, like the Zion and Optor , were designed in house but apparently also made by Asahi Kōgaku.

Lets not forget that the early Canon lenses (Serenars) were made by Nikon and that happened before Nikon had their own camera.
