Shanghai Camera Factory Shanghai 58-I

The Shanghai 58-I is a 35mm rangefinder camera produced in China by the Shanghai Camera Factory in the late 1950s. It was an early Chinese-made interchangeable-lens rangefinder built along the lines of contemporary Leica-style screw-mount cameras, aimed at domestic photographic supply rather than export.

Sales data for the Shanghai 58-I is extremely thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result from January 2025 sold for £650, and that figure is the only reliable price point currently available in 2026. Because hammer prices reflect wholesale saleroom levels rather than retail asking prices, what a Shanghai 58-I sells for at dealer level can run higher, and with only one data point the true market value range cannot be reliably bracketed.

Sales History

Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
