The name Tokiwa Kōgaku Kōgyō Yūgen-gaisha (常盤光學工業有限會社 in old writing) appears in 1942 and 1943 advertisements for the Zeitax II and III[1]. McKeown also mentions a Tokiwa Hand camera under the Kuribayashi entry, as "made by Kuribayashi for Tokiwa Kogaku". It is unknown if this company had a relationship with Tokiwa Seiki who made the First Six and Firstflex cameras. There is a company called K.K. Tokiwa Kōgaku (株式会社ときわ光学) existing today but it was founded in 1956[2].

120 film cameras

It is unknown if the previous models of the Zeitax were made by the same company[3].
