Minolta
Minolta was a Japanese company known for manufacturing cameras, camera accessories, and other optical products. It was founded in 1928 as Nichi-Doku Shashinki Sh?ten, meaning "Japanese-German camera shop," and later adopted the Minolta name. Minolta is particularly known for pioneering autofocus SLR technology with the Minolta Maxxum 7000. The company later merged with Konica in 2003 to form Konica Minolta, and eventually sold its camera business to Sony. Founded in Osaka in 1928 by Kazuo Tashima, the company initially imported and assembled cameras with German components. The company was initially known as Nichi-Doku Shashinki Sh?ten, then became Chiyoda Kogaku Seiko, and finally adopted the Minolta name in 1962, unifying with its brand. Minolta was a leader in developing autofocus technology, introducing the first integrated autofocus 35mm SLR system in the Minolta Maxxum 7000. Beyond cameras, Minolta also produced photocopiers, fax machines, and laser printers. In 2003, Minolta merged with Konica to form Konica Minolta. In 2006, Konica Minolta sold its camera business to Sony. Minolta's contributions to photography, particularly in autofocus technology, continue to influence the industry today.
