Biography

Haruo Sato is a Nikon optical designer and one of the principal authors documenting NIKKOR design history in the company’s Thousand and One Nights series. He joined Nikon in 1985 and, only six months later, was assigned his first lens: the Ai AF Zoom Nikkor 24–50 mm f/3.3–4.5S, Nikon’s first wide-angle autofocus zoom. His later patent record spans compact consumer zooms, professional ultra-wide zooms, supertelephotos, and fast prime lenses.
