The Topcon R Autokinon |
The Topcon R was the first single lens reflex camera manufactured by Tokyo Kogaku. It was introduced in 1957 and was the first Japanese SLR with a semi-automatic diaphagm. In 1959, fully automatic external diaphragm stopdown lenses were introduced. A fine example is shown here with the Tokyo Kogaku 5.8cm f1.8 Auto Topcor (Autokinon) lens. The Topcon R is the most frequently encountered early Topcon SLR however, pristine ones are getting rather uncommon. With the Autokinon lens, they are quite rare.
