After Nikon dispensed with this model (at the introduction of the Nikkormat range), Mamiya sold the design to Ricoh. (Initially, Nikon was the name of a range of SLR cameras, not the name of the company which was originally Nippon Kogaku.) This Nikkorex model was designed by and made by Mamiya for Nikon. In fact, the Nikkorex F was supplied with the same lens as the Nikon F. This third model in the range, the Nikkorex F, is a standard SLR with a removable lens and a focal plane shutter – this camera uses the same lens mount as the Nikon F and so also the same range of lenses. The first two models seem to have been modelled on the Zeiss Ikon Contaflex – fixed lens and complex leaf shutter in the lens. There were three models in the Nikkorex range. In order to tap into the large enthusiast market, Nikon introduced the Nikkorex range. Nikon’s first SLR camera was the professional Nikon F which introduced the F mount which is still (in modified form) in use today.
