  A visitor looks at vintage cameras displayed at the Shanghai Museum of Vintage Camera Manufacturing on July 4.
  The museum was opened to the public on June 10. It contains more than 100 Chinese-made cameras and more than 80 overseas camera models. Every brand and model of mechanical camera that was made in Shanghai since the late 1950s is on display.
  Chen Haiwen, a well-known Chinese photographer and collector, is an investor and creator of the museum. In 2009, Chen purchased the production line for the twin-lens reflex mechanical camera Seagull 4A-109 from the Shanghai Seagull Camera Company. He has now restarted the production of the classic Chinese-made camera, which was last produced in 2004.
