The Pearl River ("Zhe Jiang") S-201 was the most complete 35mm system SLR produced in China during the 1970ies and 1980ies. It is based on the Minolta SR technology (shutter, film advance, lens mount), but also borrowed a few features from the Nikon F, like exchangeable finders. The latter is unique for a Chinese SLR. It was produced by 5 former military equipment factories in the mountains of the Sichuan province in central China. The brand "Pearl River" was borrowed from an existing TLR manufacturer in South China, just to avoid registering another export brand. Although very expensive (690 RMB yuan[1], almost a years salary) it was very popular during its time.
