HAFA was the brand name of the company Hatschek és Farkas; a Hungarian seller of cameras, optics and radios in Budapest from 1933 to about 1944. Their address was 4 Károly Körut 28, Budapest. They sold cameras from several German makers including Rodenstock, Eho-Altissa, Zeiss Ikon, Rollei, Leica, Kodak AG and Certo. Their cameras were often badged, or engraved, with the HAFA logo and were sometimes re-named; three examples are the Super Hafa (Certo Super Dollina), the Dollychrom (Certo Dollina II) and the Hafa Box (Eho-Altissa Box).
