Ōmiya Shashin-yōhin K.K. (近江屋写真用品株式会社) is a Japanese company. It was already active in 1921, and its address at the time was Honjo-ku Matsuzaka-chō 2–7 in Tokyo (東京市本所区松坂町二ノ七).[1] Ōmiya has been the owner of the "Hansa" (ハンザ) brand name for many years, and was already using it in 1932.[2] It sold some cameras under that name in the 1930s and 1940s, the best known being the Hansa Canon.[3]
In 2004, a company called Hansa K.K. (ハンザ株式会社) was detached from Ōmiya, and today (2008) it manufactures photo accessories, among which are tripod heads and an extensive range of lens adapters.
