The Hansa Rollette Ref (ハンザ・ローレット・レフ) is a Japanese 4.5×6 camera, distributed by Ōmiya Shashin-yōhin K.K., the owner of the "Hansa" brand. It is a pseudo TLR: its shape imitates a twin lens reflex but the finder is nothing more than a big brilliant finder. It is said to be fixed-focus.[1] Its nameplate is only written Rollette Ref.
The Hansa Rollette Ref is featured in the new products column of the February 1936 issue of Asahi Camera[2], and it appears in the catalogue of Yamashita Yūjirō Shōten dated April 20, 1937[3], for ¥16. It is said to have a Tribar[4] 75/8 lens and a T, B, 25–100 shutter.[5]
