C. H. Hofmans was a Belgian camera maker in the 1890s, whose address was 50, rue du Viaduc 50 Ixelles-lez-Bruxelles.[1] It made a twin-lens reflex camera in 9×12cm format.
At about the same time, the Japanese company Konishi Honten (predecessor of Konica) imported "Hoffman's Detective Cameras", perhaps corresponding to this same manufacturer.[2] (The Sakura Honor made by Konishi was inspired from these cameras.)
