Ōmiya
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 and 1940s, the best known being the Hansa Canon[1].
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.
