Fujinon (フジノン) is a brand of optical lenses made by Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd, now known as Fujifilm. Fujifilm's Fujinon lenses have been used by professional photographers and broadcast stations as well as in cinematography. Originally established as a photographic material manufacturer, Fujifilm aimed to become a comprehensive photographic enterprise. In March 1940, the company began manufacturing optical glass at its factory in Odawara, Japan, which marked the start of the Fujinon brand. Although the initial goal was to produce lenses and cameras for consumer use, the outbreak of World War II forced the company to shift its focus entirely to military optical equipment. In April 1940, Fujifilm completed its first camera, an aerial camera for the Japanese Navy.2
