Default GERMAN CAMERAS ARE THE BEST: Jap Cameras Are Toys

Why is it that all the best cameras were made in Germany and not
Japan? Because Aryan blood is thicker than Teriyaki sauce. The true
white race is the master race. That is why Leica and Hassleblad blow
Canon and Minolta into the **** sewer.



um.. German cameras like this one?

thanks for your input...

funny, the oldest Japanese film maker (predating Kodak) is still in business..
and their cameras outsell everyone elses.


Who would that be? Certainly not Fuji...

"In a small Japanese village located at the foot of Mt. Fuji, Fuji
Photo Film Co., Ltd. was founded in 1934." (from
http://www.fujifilm.com/JSP/fuji/epa...stsHistory.jsp)

George Eastman died two years before that.

Ah, must be Konica:

"1873 Sales start of photographic and lithographic materials"
(http://www.konicaminoltaeurope.com/company/history.html).

So Konica beat Eastman by five years. But, of course, not with film,
which was 1885. And it came from Rochester.

Funny, so do their cars!


Do what? Outsell the U.S.? Not by quite a margin.

and their
stereos.. in fact most things!
