Hamaphot

Here are the Hamaphot cameras in my collection with date of introduction and film type.

The Categories ⓘ

The Art Deco cameras on this site are divided into 5 Deco categories - Proto Deco, Classic Deco, Streamlined Deco, Deco Influenced and Post Deco.

Star System ⓘ

I use a star system to show Deco strength. Each camera is rated by how strongly it embodies Art Deco style, from iconic five-star classics to those with incidental Deco elements.

History

Before the Second World War, Martin Hanke (Hama) owned a photo wholesale business in Dresden. He had good connections with the Pouva company. In 1952, Hanke moved to Mohnheim (Bavaria) and set up a camera production facility with a former Pouva employee. Cameras were manufactured at Hamaphot until around 1960.
