camera manufactures have used the OMEGA letter

vacheroyale · Feb 2, 2020

back in the days the letter Omega was also used by the camera industry to name their products.
as far I remember:
- Toyo in Japan : Omega-View 4x5.
- Konica in Japan : KONI-OMEGA rapid 6x7.
- Simmon in the US : OMEGA enlargers.
Do you remember any others?
