R.I.P. Norman Edmund 1916 – 2012
As an avid amateur photographer, Norman Edmund discovered that finding lenses for his favorite pass time was extremely difficult. After a successful advertising campaign in the early 40’s for used lenses, he founded the Edmund Salvage Corporation, which became Edmund Scientific. This fledgling company specialized in war-surplus optics, lightly damaged lenses, and inexpensive scientific equipment. Edmund eventually produced instruction booklets that weren’t more than type written pages stapled together with descriptions of various experiments that could be performed with his optics. These manuals led to the creation of the Edmund Scientific Catalog.
