Shanghai GP3 gained a share of the low-end market mainly due to its affordability. Shanghai GP3 deserves praise for persevering in the film industry during its darkest period. Despite the challenges, the brand continued to produce film, possibly due to its small factory scale and low price point.
Notably, the 120 film produced by the old Shanghai GP3 outperforms the 135 film. As the saying goes, “if the image quality is not good enough, use a bigger negative size to make up for it.” This cheap 120 film easily outperforms 135 film. However, the workmanship of the 135 GP3 film is average and the sticker may have wrinkles.
Shanghai GP3 film is characterized by several features. Firstly, the film sealing position is tightly sealed with lightproof cotton. However, the gray scale may not be as rich as other film brands. Finally, the price is affordable, making it a popular choice among budget-conscious photographers.
