A Gallery of Topcon Equipment

This gallery is not one that presents photographs to demonstrate my artistic ability, or the capabilities of Topcon cameras, lenses and accessories. Rather it is a gallery showing Topcon cameras, lenses and accessories--made, or course, with Topcon cameras, lenses and accessories.

My intent with these pages is to show the extent, flexibility and versatility of this fine camera system. While the RE Super/Super D bodies are well known, along with many of the more popular lenses, Topcon provided a wide range of macro accessories, electric Motor Drives (with their own accessories), plus many unique and useful items. These lesser known items occupy the majority of the objects in the gallery.
