Nikon is associated with SLRs. And, sorry, I didn't find Mamiya in my dictionary :) >> Maybe you guys are too jungen to remember but back in the mid '50s - top photo-journalists like John Florea, Eliot Elisoffen*, Alan Grant etc. were using Nikkor 50/1.4s on their Leicas as all Leitz had to offer in an ultra fast lens was the soft 50/1.5 Summarit.
