I Visit Nikon Museum (with Shameful Fujifilm Camera)

So, I took a stroll to the Nikon Museum in Tokyo (just blocks from Shinagawa station). Being a Nikon Fanboy for the last 8 years, I was very excited to see the Nikon Museum during my visit in Japan. However, I had just sold all my Nikon gear and gotten my new love --the Fuji X system. So, I took these photos with my new Fuji XT-1 camera as well as some with my cell phone camera. All photos from the Fuji are straight out of the camera JPEGs with only cropping and straightening done to them.

The museum is in a tall office building that houses the Nikon corporate offices. It has no real signs or designations, other than the address of a pair of lovely skyscrapers. I went in and finally found it after wandering for some 15 minutes. Thus, I do not have photos of the exterior of the museum as it would just be a generic-looking modern office building.

All pics were taken by me and can be clicked to make them larger.

Something that really amazed me is how much these camera companies do in other fields such as astronomy, medicine, semiconductor production, eyewear, etc...
