Don,
Thanks for the web digging. I understand where the word Nikon came from and how it was derived but Nikkor I still do not understand. Naming cameras Nikkor is even more strange, although explained but does not answer why is the word Nikkor stamped on every lens and its significance.
The can only think Nikkor is a name given to an optical branch of Nikon, hence the stamp 'Nikon AF-S VR-NIKKOR 70-200mm f2.8G' on my latest toy. shown exactly how its stamped using capitals for Nikkor.
Interesting how the spell checker wants to change Nikkor to Nikko as the city in Japan Ian made reference to.
The plot thickens!
