Seagull Camera
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shanghai Seagull Camera Ltd is a Chinese camera maker located in Shanghai, China. Seagull is the oldest camera maker in China.[1] The product line of Seagull includes TLR cameras, SLR cameras, folding cameras, CCD and SLR camera lenses, large-format cameras, film, night vision scopes, and angle viewfinders. Seagull's cameras usually use basic, time-tested mechanical designs that require no batteries. Seagull has made 21 million cameras since it was founded in 1958.[citation needed] Some Seagull cameras are distributed through the Lomography company.
Seagull adopted Minolta's manual focus SLR lens mount and camera design under license, and continues to produce it long after Minolta moved on to autofocus cameras.[2]
