The famous Red Flag M4 copy that Mrs Mao had made is an all time high end prime collectible. It came with a 35/2 (?), a 50/1,4 and a 90/2. It looks like a M4 but with enough differences not to be a relabelled camera. If you find one and sell it a Christie's Auction, expect to walk out with $15-20000. I have only seen a couple of them and the owners would not let me use them for actual pictures, but supposedly they were not bad at all. Totally handmade and assembled as a Premium Product to promote Chinese Industry. So much for Made In China." Tom A
