Tōyō Seiki Kōgaku
Tōyō Seiki Kōgaku (東洋精機光学) was a Japanese camera maker of the 1950s. It made the Elbow flex and Elbow Six, the Princeflex and the Rolex.
The company name means "oriental precision optics".
It may have been the same as Tōyō Seiki (東洋精機), which made the Easternflex; Tōyō Kōki (東洋光機), which made the Elegaflex; and Tōyō Kōgaku (東洋光学) which made the Elizaflex.[1]
