👉 The Nikon Gun, also known as the Nikon 35mm SLR or the Nikon 50mm SLR, was a groundbreaking camera introduced in 1959 that revolutionized photography with its innovative design and capabilities. It was one of the first cameras to use a rangefinder system, allowing for precise focusing without the need for a separate viewfinder. The Nikon Gun featured a compact, lightweight body with interchangeable lenses, making it highly portable and user-friendly. Its 35mm film format was smaller and more affordable than the standard 36mm film, enabling photographers to capture images more easily in the field. The camera's robust build and advanced autofocus system, including a rotating focusing ring, set new standards in the industry, making it a favorite among both professional and amateur photographers.
