Bohai 渤海

The Bohai 渤海 is a medium format 120 film rangefinder camera produced by the Bohai brand. It represents a domestic Chinese-manufactured camera, likely developed during the mid-20th century when domestic production was encouraged. As a rangefinder focusing on the 120 format, it offered a practical alternative to larger view cameras for serious amateur and professional photographers seeking compactness combined with the larger negative size. Its specifications, including a shutter speed range covering B (bulb) to 1/500th of a second and a weight of 755g, indicate it was a solidly built, mid-tier instrument designed for reliable operation and image quality.
