Chronology of cameras Kinon
The brand was registered with a simple logo in 1983 in the USA by Farsharp Industrial Corporation, Taiwan. It was abandoned on April 17, 1986. It was re-registered by the same company on November 4, 1986, with the logo featuring the characteristic shutter-like dot over the "i" and the "o" in the center of which bears the image of an optical device. It was abandoned on March 9, 1990.
This brand was registered with the second logo in France in January 1988 by Ghislain Van Der Does. It covers photographic, cinematographic apparatus, and optical equipment, as well as devices for recording, transmitting, reproducing sound, images, or text and documents. The trademark has expired, presumably in 1990.
This technically unimpressive model has little interest. It comes in two variants with only a difference in the inscription near the lens: one is marked "35 mm lens Made in Japan," the other "F4 35 mm Japan Lens."
The first one presents an ambiguity, probably intentional, about the origin of the camera; the second one only associates the lens with Japan. This smells like a Japanese complaint.
