Welcome to The First Lensman

First Lensman is all about the celebration of the beautiful and timeless products that came out of the Japanese camera industry from the late 1950’s to the late 1980’s. It’s mainly a discussion site that everybody can use to exchange ideas and experiences using the 35mm film cameras and lenses that came out of Nikon, Canon and Minolta during that period.

There’s a major resurgence in film photography going on right now. The cameras and lenses from the period are still very relevant to today’s photographic experience.
