Kwanon

The name Canon began in 1934 with a prototype for Japan’s first-ever 35 mm camera with a focal plane shutter. It was named 'Kwanon' by Goro Yoshida after the Buddhist bodhisattva Guan Yin.

 

It is ironic that the first Kwanon lenses were made by Canon's now chief rival, Nikon.

Today's Bible Verse:

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me. he must deny himself" and take up his cross and follow me.
