It's been a few years since I had that pleasure, but I don't recall any
smell from new Japanese equipment. Very memorable, however, was the
distinctive aroma of a new Russian camera or lens. I don't know what caused
it but, like the smells accompanying the emergence of a black & white print
in the developer dish, it was a major olfactory experience to remember.
