Please try to format your micro SD card, and then reconnect again. Micro SD card in the camera is more easily damaged than in the other device because the SD card is reading and writing the videos all the time in the camera. July 2010—Expanded Chinese subsidiary and established Topcon (Beijing) Opto-Electronics Development Corporation as a manufacturing base in the emerging Chinese market. July 2005—Transferred from part of the Hoya Corporation Vision Care Company's ophthalmic instruments segment in Japan. A11: If you want to save videos to FTP, you need to insert a micro SD card into your camera. Then the camera will save the alarm recordings to your FTP.
The Topcon RE-series was definitely good, but what about the models that came before it? Tokyo Kogaku had been making SLRs for five years before the RE Super, so maybe those were good too. This was the question I was asking myself when I had first saw a Topcon R. Although differing only in the letter “E” in it’s model name, externally, the Topcon R looks like a completely different camera. This is the Topcon RE Super 35mm SLR made by Tokyo Kogaku of Japan between the years of 1963 and 1972. It was a historically significant camera as it was the very first 35mm SLR camera to offer through the lens (TTL) metering. The RE Super was a large and heavy-duty camera designed for rigorous use by professional photographers and was even the camera of choice by the US Navy for several years. Like the Topcon’s primary competitor the Nikon F, it had a huge number of lenses, viewfinders, focusing screens, motor drives, and many other accessories available making it one of the most flexible system cameras ever made.The Topcor RE Auto range of lenses, that were natively available on the RE mount, were from a 20mm f/4 through to a 500mm f/5.6.A zoom with 87-205mm and 3 macro specific (without focusing rings) were made.While it is a respectable range of about 18 lenses, it is dwarfed by the range of Nikkors available for the Nikon system.Part of that is driven by the Exakta type mount which limits the diameter of the rear element, which in turn limited the wide angle lens option to 20mm. Topcon originally formed in 1932 as Tokyo Kogaku Kikai K.K. which translates in English as Tokyo Optical Company, Ltd. The new company was a dependent subsidiary of Hattori Tokei-ten which had a precision manufacturing branch called Seikosha who themselves would eventually be known as Seiko. Tokyo Kogaku would remain a dependent of Seikosha until 1947 at which time would become it’s own entity. October 2009—Established Topcon 3D Inspection Laboratories, Inc., a 3D inspection technology development/design company, in Canada. Entry into the 3D measurement and high-end print board fields. Sadly, this Topcor R body wasn’t in as great of shape as it’s lens as the shutter shows noticeable capping in many images where the right side of the image is darker than the left. This of course is typical of older focal plane shutters in need of servicing, and in no way affected my opinion of this camera. When you need to get to the details, the Topcor 58mm f/3.5 RE Macro Auto lens is a great choice.It has a 1:2 maximum magnification ratio, achieved at the closest focusing distance, but can easily be made to 1:1 with an extension tube.Minimum focusing distance is 25.4cm but the closest working distance is 13cm.The optical formular for this lens is similar to a Xenotar which is designed to give almost no distortion and with no focus or light fall off.
During my research for this model, I could not find a lot of information about the success of these early cameras, but based on how little info there is, I have to guess they probably weren’t that successful. It is likely that like Nippon Kogaku, Tokyo Kogaku focused most of it’s effort on supplying the Japanese military, but as a result of the de-militarization of Japan after their surrender in the war, the company was forced to grow its portfolio into consumer oriented goods. This thing is a monster! If it’s not clear in the image above of a Topcon next to a Spotmatic, here’s another image! Note About Topcon UV Lenses: Topcon also had a lineup of interchangeable lenses with a lens mount called the Topcon UV mount which was designed for their leaf shutter SLR cameras that is incompatible with the RE Super. They do not mount, and to my knowledge, no adapter was ever made. Sadly, these UV lenses are far more common than RE lenses, so in the event you encounter one, don’t try to mount it, because it won’t. A10: Alarm recording is just for 10-14 seconds. It’s difficult for some clients who use FTP storage to save a long video. But plan recording can be set for 15-900 seconds.

The RE Super and the company that built it wasn’t always a forgotten relic. At one point in time it seemed the brand was destined for greatness. Tokyo Kogaku, the brand from which the Topcon name was born in much the way Nikon sprouted from Nippon Kogaku, reigned as one of the top Japanese camera and lens manufacturers. They were famous for their razor sharp Topcor lenses made in Leica Thread Mount, and for their early efforts in the Japanese SLR arena (they in fact created an SLR camera before Nikon or Canon had done so). Things went from “pretty good” to “pretty freaking fantastic” for Tokyo Kogaku when they entered a contest to see who could manufacture the official combat camera of the United States Military – and won. This is the best, most comprehensive review of these cameras I’ve ever read. The perspective is very well balanced, especially your comments on the use of the Exakta bayonet mount. When it was implemented, it was a sound decision, Exakta being the preferred camera for pros at that time. The demise of the RE (and its “sister” cameras) was due to a variety of reasons, especially when Tokyo Kogaku stopped innovating. I originally bought my RE so that I could use my Carl Zeiss Exakta-mount lenses with a superior camera to my aging Exakta VX and not-particularly-well-made RTL. I fell in love with the feel, durability, and well-engineered function of the RE. Even though my other (current) favorite camera is my Olympus OM-4, I love the RE just as much, even though it’s ⅓ larger. You’re right – it’s big and heavy, but never feels unwieldy; it simply feels elegant, and that’s what it is – an extremely elegant camera. I recently acquired a Topcor 58mm f1.4 and it’s amazing. The only downside to all of this is that a couple of Exakta-mount lenes won’t mount. My Zeiss Flektogon 20mm f4 won’t mount, nor will my Meyer 30mm Lydith. I’ve yet to discern why – anyone have any ideas about this? The rest of my Exakta-mount lenses, even the Angenieux 35mm and the Zeiss 35mm Flektogon go on without hesitation, so I’d love to hear any thoughts about this. Thanks again for the great article! True to my experience with the later Topcon RE Super, the results I got from the Topcon R were just as excellent. I guess it should be no surprise to see similar results from two cameras using one of Tokyo Kogaku’s excellent Topcor lenses. The Auto-Topcor being an older design mechanically, but I believe it to be the same optically as the later lens. Although an older design, the Auto-Topcor delivered results as good as any other Topcon lens I’ve shot.
