H-U-G-E glowing prints! Radiant colors and deep resolution! Handy 6cm long rolls of paper-like film. This is medium format photography.

The Seagull Twin-Lens-Reflex camera is your first-class, entry-level ticket into a new realm. Your subjects and backgrounds project straight through the Seagull's coated, multi-element Haiou 75mm lens to hit the 120 film inside with dazzling images. Total control is yielded to you through manual shutter speeds and aperture settings. Its twin-lens system projects the image outside onto a top-down ground glass viewfinder - perfect for sleek compositions and candid street shooting.

The new fast-advance crank allows for rabbit-quick shooting. Multiple and long-time exposures are a sublime pleasure. This authentic Seagull camera is made in Shanghai and packaged in a seriously gaudy satin-lined gift box.

Seagull adopted Minolta's manual focus SLR lens mount and camera design under license, and continues to produce it long after Minolta moved on to autofocus cameras.
