daniel_wang6 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 <p>I have a question, is T. Nishiyama a famous photographer?? I saw a Nikon f3/t on a used camera store and it had the name T. Nishiyama engraved on it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCL Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 <p>A quick Google shows a number of T. Nishiyamas but no photographers I could find. You may want to do a more in depth search. Interesting though - was the name actually engraved or merely scratched onto the surface?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel_wang6 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 <p>It is actually engraved like if it came out of the factory like that. I wonder if it was a special order from somebody and they just engraved their name on top of it. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodeo_joe1 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Shoe-repair shops and the like offer cheap engraving services. So anyone can have their name engraved on their gear for a few dollars. I suspect that Nishiyama San was just some guy that didn't want to lose their camera easily.

ShunCheung Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 <p>Daniel, not sure you are interested in buying that used camera. If so, I would tell that store that you don't like the fact that it has someone else's name engraved on it and request them to discount it by 20%.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
