Pearl River · China · 1980 · 135 film

The 珠江 H-801 is a 35mm rangefinder camera introduced by Pearl River in 1980, representing the company's effort in the consumer market during that period. Featuring a leaf shutter with speeds from 4 seconds to 1/250 second and a weight of 580 grams, it offered a straightforward, relatively compact design for everyday photography. As a product of China's Pearl River, it contributed to the domestic availability of 35mm film cameras but was not distinguished by significant technological innovation or unique features compared to established international brands, serving primarily as a functional, budget-conscious option for domestic users.
