Canon FD
From the F-1 of 1971, Canon’s first professional system camera, through the AE-1 that sold millions on a microprocessor and a television campaign, to the T90 of 1986, the last manual-focus Canon and the body that drew the shape of every EOS.

Fujica
Fuji’s SLRs: the ST701 of 1970 with the first silicon photocell meter in a 35mm camera, the ST801 with the first LED readout, the ST901 with the first digital shutter-speed display, and the AX and STX bayonet bodies of 1979 to 1985 that ended the line.

Olympus OM
Maitani’s answer to the size of the SLR: the M-1 of 1972, renamed OM-1 when Leitz objected, and the OM-2, OM-3 and OM-4 that followed it, the smallest full-frame system SLRs anyone made, with the shutter dial around the lens mount.
OM single-digit
OM double-digit
Alpa
Hand-built in Ballaigues by a watch-parts maker, 1944 to 1990, some forty thousand in all: the first SLRs with a coupled rangefinder, a 45° prism nobody copied, and a TTL meter in the prism before Pentax. Every generation fits the same bayonet.
