Benetfink & Co. Ltd. was an optical company based at 107-108 Cheapside, London EC[1]. They had made optical lanterns and slides since c.1845, as Benetfink & Jones, in 1852 as Benetfink & Co., in 1862 as Benetfink & Fox[2], and at the end of that century (again as Benetfink & Co) made several box-form cameras, usually with a falling plate structure[3].

In the early 1900s the company was bought out by A.W. Gamage, the department store company.
