Cameras which made Topcon famous as a camera manufacturer are obviously RE Super and Super Dm models. They have focal plane shutters, more extensive variety of lenses and they were aimed for more professional use as well. In United States Topcon cameras were sold under the name Beseler Topcon. I might be a misunderstanding but there were times when Topcon was an "official" camera of US Navy. Topcon cameras were often described as tanks. Something in their essence really resembles a heavy Sherman or Tiger. If you happen to see one dent on Topcon you can be almost sure that it has arised in El Alamein.
