What it is

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.

As with any vintage Chinese TLR, inspect the shutter for sticking speeds, check the focusing screen and mirror for fungus or haze, and confirm that the film advance and frame counter operate cleanly. Service support for Shanghai-made TLRs is limited, so prioritise examples that already function correctly over project bodies.
