Nikon is a renowned imaging and optics brand headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, known globally for its cameras and precision lenses. Founded in 1917 as Nippon Kogaku K.K., the company initially produced optical instruments before expanding into cameras, launching its first model in 1948. Over the decades, Nikon became a dominant force in professional and consumer photography, and with its recent acquisition of RED, it has formally entered the high-end digital cinema market. Nikon’s lenses, particularly its Nikkor line, are celebrated for their sharpness, color fidelity, and robust mechanical construction across generations. Throughout the 20th century, photographers relied on Nikon systems for their durability, optical excellence, and consistent performance in demanding conditions. Cine Visuals carries the Zerø Optik Nikon Nikkor AI-S Primes and the Nikon Nikkor 8mm Fisheye.
