It's quite interesting to note that Canon's first camera was a Leica derivative while Nikon's was a Zeiss (Contax) design. Zeiss also produced lenses for the Leica rangefinders, just as Nikon did for Canon.

And up to now, the rivalry between Leica and Zeiss lives on, just as Canon vs. Nikon continues to fuel heated debates everywhere.

Definitely! A bit of history changed my outlook on cameras so much I ended up with a 70-year old camera that looks and feels so much better than my DSLR and still takes great pictures. :)
