The early production models of Canon rangefinder cameras had Nikon lenses.

What's so special about 80? 50 or 100 years maybe, 75 perhaps, but 80? Unless it's a desperate excuse for a press release of course.

In this computer age, the only anniversaries we should celebrate are years 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.   :D

I thought I read somewhere that Canon just sold their 80 millionth EOS lens. Maybe it was a matter of pointing out a numerical coincidence.
