Pentax
Did you know that “Pentax” as a company name is relatively new? It is true! The company name was not adopted until 2002. Before then it was known as Asahi Optical Company. As a Japanese company, it was founded in 1938. Originally its products were geared toward the binocular market, but soon it began its work with consumer cameras. It did not take long for the Pentax camera to be a coveted item, and stores began stocking these products due to high customer demand. Due to ingenious marketing schemes, the name Pentax soon became so commonplace, that customers would refer to cameras simply as Pentax and stores were only too happy to comply. Perhaps the greatest coup Pentax landed was its Pentax ME Super Camera. This line of merchandise was introduced in 1980 and for a while it dominated the market. Being a 35 mm camera by design, the size of this instrument was considerably smaller than that of comparative products from the competition.
