Ōmiya Shashin-yōhin K.K. (近江屋写真用品株式会社) is a Japanese company. It has been the owner of the "Hansa" (ハンザ) brand name, and it sold some cameras under that name in the 1930s, among which are the Hansa Rollette Ref (a 4.5×6 pseudo TLR), the Hansa Semi Rollette (a 4.5×6 folder) and the better known Hansa Canon[1].
A Japanese 4.5×6 folder called "Kadera" (カデラー) is also attributed to Ōmiya by Kokusan kamera no rekishi. It is dated 1939 and has a Kadera 75/4.5 lens and a T, B, 25–100 shutter.[2]
In 2004, a company called Hansa K.K. (ハンザ株式会社) was detached from Ōmiya, and today (2006) it manufactures photo accessories, among which are tripod heads and an extensive range of lens adapters.
