The Kamerastore YouTube channel has released a fantastic 30-minute video (below), detailing Juho Leppänen’s visit to the JCII Camera Museum in Tokyo, Japan.
JCII originally stood for Camera and optical instruments Inspection and testing Institute (now Japan Camera Industry Institute). Its website says it was “formed to inspect all cameras exported from Japan in order to maintain quality standards”. Got a vintage camera with an ovular ‘Passed’ sticker? Look closer, it’ll say JCII somewhere on it.
