From the editor

An almost exact copy of the Leica IIIf manufactured by the Shanghai Camera Factory. The "58" referred to the year 1958 - the year of the "Great Leap Forward" campaign of the People's Republic of China. This camera (serial no. range: 58000 - 5801xxx) has separate rangefinder and viewfinder windows (these are combined on the Type II) and diopter adjustment operated by the lever below the film rewind knob. This camera was not manufactured with flash synchronization, although examples are known with flash sockets on the front. Presumably, these were modified later. The camera body was accompanied by the collapsible Shanghai 50/3.5 lens. No accessory lenses were released.

The exact number of bodies produced is unknown, but a rough estimate is less than 1,500.
