Hans Porst, founded in 1919 in Nuremberg, Germany, was a German distributor and retailer of many brands of cameras. Porst often had cameras relabeled with their marketing label 'HAPO', or HAns POrst. By 1996, the Porst AG chain of retail camera stores was Germany's largest photographic retailer, and in that year was purchased by a Belgian investment group. In 2001, ownership was transferred to Pixelnet.
