Pentax Cameras Review
Pentax Cameras was the one of the most well-known from Japanese company that specialized mainly in binoculars and cameras. But in the middle of 2008, the company merged with Hoya Corporation (that why we say was not is). On the other hand, Pentax still continue to produce some of the uppermost quality optics and cameras on the market, just not under Pentax name. And now, we want to share the Pentax company profiles, their proud history as well as some of their most popular products.
Pentax Cameras’ story begun in 1919 by Kumao Kaijiwara, at Toshima, Japan. At the start, the company dedicated in lenses for spectacles (they keep on in this field about thirty years). They make bigger their product by producing specialty accessories such as camera lenses and changed their named to Asahi Optical in 1938. After that few years later, Asahi Optical would continue itself with military contracts for optical instruments such as binoculars and cameras - in World War period.
Soon after World War, the company continued to make camera lenses and binoculars for their customers. After that, Pentax Cameras would become an industry leader and winning in this market and become as the Japanese market exploded in the post World War periods.
After a long journey, Kaijiwara succed to initiate their first camera - Asahiflex, in 1952 and in 1957 the company changed their name from Asahi Optical to Asahi Pentax or we know as Pentax. After that, the company has been linked with quality of photographic equipment. But unbelievably the company did not using Pentax Cameras as their name until 2002.
At that time, Pentax Cameras was become one of the most profitable optical companies in the world, providing everything from spectable lenses to cameras to binoculars. The company also present a lot of accessories and a comprehensive line of specialty optical instruments. In 2004, Pentax Cameras become a gigantic in this field and had more than 6,000 employee in Japan and abroad.
Products
So, not shocking when Pentax with their cameras well regarded by professional photographers and hobbyist all around the world. The company’s great moment occurred in 1957 when the company renamed to Asahi Pentax and introduced its single lens reflex camera. After that, they released Asahiflex, their first true series cameras. The financial achievement and the astoundingly commercial of these products in fact prompted the company to rename itself as Pentax Cameras. But as we mentioned in earlier, finally Pentax merged with the Hoya Corporation - but Pentax still sell, market, and develop new cameras under its name.
Pentax Cameras make a corporation with Samsung in late of 2005 - with regaining ground in the camera market from main rivals Nikon and Canon. And this ‘partnership’ was deemed in a right way when they producing DSLR Cameras. Moreover, the partnership also produced the Samsung GX-1S and Pentax DS2.
