Meigui · China · 120 film

The Meigui 玫瑰 801 represents a basic, functional box camera designed for 120 roll film. Characteristic of its type, it likely features a simple box-shaped body, a fixed-focus meniscus lens, a single-speed shutter, and a rudimentary viewfinder, constructed primarily from bakelite or early plastic materials to keep production costs low. Its purpose was straightforward: to provide affordable, easy-to-use snapshot photography for the mass market during the mid-20th century, embodying the era's practical approach to camera design rather than technological innovation.
