A happy, interesting lecture and very deep Nikon meeting was over.
The following message from Dr. Nakai, and I want to introduce it.
It is necessary to watch the detail of the real thing to research the cameras and the lenses.
Members of the Nikon Kenkyukai have a hard-to-find Nikon products.
Those products are wide ages in the large range.
Then, the meaning of their collections is great.
Their collections are all very excellent condition.
It is very important to understand correctly the function and the atmosphere of
the Nikon products that their condition is good.
Moreover, the Kekyukai has the specialist in a lot of fields,
Nikon camera, Nikkor lenses, microscope, telescope,
military equipment and industrial use Nikkor lenses and so on.
Not only an existing concept but also I learnt it was new in the Kenkyukai.
Thank you very much.
