Chinon Industries

Japan

Chinon Industries Inc. (チノン株式会社, Chinon Kabushiki-gaisha) was a Japanese camera manufacturer. Kodak took a majority stake in the company in 1997, and made it a fully owned subsidiary of Kodak Japan, Kodak Digital Product Center, Japan Ltd. (株式会社コダック デジタル プロダクト センター, Kabushiki-gaisha Kodakku Dejitaru Purodakuto Sentā), in 2004. As a subsidiary, it continues to develop digital camera models. They manufactured several cameras, such as the CG-5, which was one of the first cameras ever to use an Auto Focus lens, which had to be bought separately. The lenses are now rare.

Films and chemistry are filtered on their production status. Cameras and lenses have none recorded — no source states whether a body or a lens is still made — so those sections only drop what is known to have ended.
