Shanghai Camera Factory Shanghai TLR
The Shanghai TLR is a twin-lens reflex film camera produced in China by the Shanghai Camera Factory. As a TLR, it uses a waist-level finder and a paired viewing and taking lens to expose 120 roll film.
Auction data for the Shanghai TLR is extremely thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result of £100 from 2005 is the only verified sales reference point, and that wholesale price predates today's collector market by two decades. With only one historical record on file, it is not possible to state a reliable current value, range or median for what this camera sells for in 2026.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Shanghai TLR worth today?
The only verified UK auction record on file is a single £100 hammer price from 2005, which is too little data to give a confident current value.
How much does a Shanghai TLR sell for at auction?
Based on the one logged saleroom result, a Shanghai TLR achieved £100 at hammer, but a single data point should not be treated as a reliable guide to today's price.
Is the Shanghai TLR a film camera?
Yes, it is a twin-lens reflex camera that uses 120 roll film and a waist-level viewfinder.
