The Xing Fu (幸 福) (Happiness) is a close copy of the Altissa Box camera, made by the Tianjin Camera Factory in China. It makes square pictures on 120 rollfilm. It has a simple shutter with a single speed of 1/25 second, plus 'B', and two aperture settings, adjusted by a pull-tab. The camera has a large reverse-galilean viewfinder. It accepts a cable release, and has a sliding cover behind the red window.
