The Asahi Pentax History Course (Chapter Two)

Who is the creator of TakumaR lenses?
Who is the creator of Asahiflex, revolutionizing the SLR industry in Japan?
This was the most thoughtful chapter I have ever written.
The build-up of this chapter was made on the basis of multiple sources which explain the same subject but occurred in different years and, some with ambiguous specifications, in the specific case of Asahiflex IIB and IIA which one comes first (even on the Japanese website) - take note the shutter speeds map at 05:01:00 where IIB is before IIA and at 06:05:03 when the factory improves the show shutter system and they seal the body? (...and my subtitles were at the last moment corrected because of doubt.)
Even the main page of Ricoh Imaging Co. doesn't have the prototypes of the cameras here explained, using images from other sites with content registered (please don't strike me!)
Beefing up everything in eighteen minutes (two chapters in vast content) really come difficult.

4:28 interesting to hear there is a link between Seiko and Asahi Pentax. That Seiko building is one of the most beautiful buildings in Ginza. I always take a picture of it when I go there.

If it wasn't Seiko helping to promote...
