Xihu 西湖 AE

The 西湖 AE by Xihu is a standard 35mm consumer camera introduced in 1990. As an autofocus autoexposure model typical of its era, it offered point-and-shoot simplicity to the mass market. Its design likely prioritized affordability and ease of use over advanced features, featuring a fixed or basic zoom lens and automatic systems handling focus and exposure, making it accessible to casual photographers during the final years of film camera dominance before digital became mainstream.
