Fujita Kōgaku Kikai
Fujita Kōgaku Kikai (藤田光学機械) was a lens maker mentioned in the "Kokusan shashinki no genjōchōsa" ("Inquiry into Japanese cameras"), listing the Japanese camera production as of April 1943. Its lenses were mounted on various cameras.

- Boltax and Bolty (Picner 40/4.5, three elements)[2]

Fujita Kōgaku Kōgyō
In 1957, a company called Fujita Kōgaku Kōgyō K.K. (藤田光学工業㈱) released the Fujita 66 SLR camera. This company also made 42mm screw lenses. It is not known if it is related to the wartime company Fujita Kōgaku Kikai.
The Excelsior 75/3.5 lenses mounted on some Aires Reflex and Airesflex are also attributed to a Fujita Kōgaku.
