Pentax
Pentax is one of Japan's leading manufacturers of optical components and products. The company was formed in 1919 as the Asahi Optical Joint Stock Co of Tokyo as a producer of spectacle lenses and in 1931 produced its first still camera lenses. The 'Pentax' name was created in 1957, derived from a combination of the words PENTAprism and refleX in recognition of Asahi Optical being the first manufacturer to incorporate a pentaprism viewfinder and reflex mirror system into a camera.
