I visited what I was told was the largest photographic store in Shanghi. THey had several floors of stuff! They offered two models in the 2¼ square model; one had a three element lens and the other a four element lens. Similar, I guess, to F&H Triotar and Tessar offerings on their Rollei cameras. The four element lens model, which I purchased, was priced at about US$160.00 for the complete camera in presentation box with Neck Strap and ER Case (Pretty crude).The 'Taking' lens is marked, "3-G 4-E SA-977777 1:3.5/7775. The other was, as I recall, priced at about US$120.00. I've never had a roll of film in the camera but it is a decent machine and I believe that it would be a useful camera but exactly what the negative quality would be, I cannot say
