In Paul Simon's song "Kodachrome" what kind of camera did the singer own?

Paul Simon's 1973 smash single with the cheerfully anti-social lyrics from the album There Goes Rhymin' Simon, peaked at No.2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In the refrain, the singer says "I've got a Nikon camera, I want to take a photograph".

The story behind the title is familiar.

Simon was working on a song with the title "Coming Home" when the word "Kodachrome" came to him. He had no idea what it meant, but knew it would make for a much more interesting song than "Coming Home." The song became an appreciation of the things in life that color our world, and a look at how our memories are framed to fit our worldviews.

The song is named after the Kodak 35 mm film Kodachrome.

The Kodak company required the album to note that Kodachrome is a trademark of Kodak and to include the registered trademark symbol (®) after the song's title. However, the 2012 release of Paul Simon Live in New York City includes a performance of Kodachrome without the trademark. Kodak stopped producing the film in 2009. In the 1990s, Kodak used the song to sell the film.

Kodak produced the Kodachrome film, one of its most popular brands, for 74 years.

Nikon did not ask for a trademark symbol.
