The History of FUJINON Lenses | Fujifilm Innovation Gateway | Fujifilm X Series APS C sensor camera | Scoop.it

In 1956, Fujifilm developed the first computer in Japan, which was able to process the mass calculations required for lens designing. This breakthrough development enabled Fujifilm to begin producing its world-renowned range of high-precision and superb quality FUJINON lenses. Lens designing is a culmination of numerical calculation. This is an undeniable fact. The movements of each light ray that goes through each lens surface are calculated. Higher accuracy of the calculation results in more accurate lens design. The basic idea is that lens quality improves with more accurate calculation. This is why we see the evolution of computer technology behind the advancements in lens design..........
