1. I never said Asahi O.C. invented the pentaprisma - but the Pentax camera.
2. Rumours say that the name Pentax was inspired by the name Contax (Ziess).
Patrice: Thanks for the link :-)

Quoting Adam Maas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Asahi Optical Co did not invent the pentaprism. They were simply
the
first to use it in a 35mm SLR. IIRC there were a couple Pentaprism
TLR's
before that (including the Contaflex)
-Adam
I don't think that's right - the first 35mm SLR with a built in
pentaprism was the Contax S.
Welcome Russell.
