The Companion is a Japanese TLR for 2¼ inch-square exposures on 120 film, probably made in the 1950s. It appears similar on most or all respects to the Krimsoflex: it has coated 8 cm f/3.5 Tri-Lausar lenses made by Tomioka, the viewing lens marked 'Viewer' and the taking one 'Anastigmat', and a Synchro-Super shutter, giving speeds 1 - 1/300 second, plus 'B'. The shutter is synchronised, with a PC socket on the front of the camera, and a cold shoe (impressed LKK) on the left side.
The camera has no red window: frame spacing is automatic. Both the focusing and film advance knobs are on the right side of the camera.
The camera accepts bayonet lens accessories.
