Is that supposed to be showing that Nikon was used before the company officially changed? (I'm asking because the large kanji within the bottom border do say 'Nippon Kogaku', although the last character is no longer written that way (well, not in Japanese, anyway).)Hmm... and now that I look more closely, it appears that the very bottom line, the second half of that is 'Nippon Kogaku Kogyo' (maybe with International, or Worldwide, or something along those lines? I can't really make out the rest of the line.)And it appears (although I can't make it out for sure) that the focal length for the lens is listed as 5cm. When did they switch to using mm for that?

When EPOI become the importer of Nikon cameras, they where given to AP, UPI, NY Times, Time, National Geo and etc. photographers. When the general public saw these guys using Nikon's the demand rose from the public for these cameras. Now, the trick was that the Pros had black cameras which at that time was cheaper to make than the chrome. But a lot of people wanted the Black Nikon so EPOI price the black bodies higher than the chrome, therefore making a little more profit per camera.
