Yashica and Zenza Bronica

12 and 13 researched events on one shared scale. Yashica 1949–present, Zenza Bronica 1946–present.

The axis stretches where either maker has research and collapses where neither does, so a year sits opposite the same year on both. Event counts differ because research depth differs, not because one company did less.
