Hangzhou Photographic Machinery Research Institute was founded in 1978. We are the only professional R&D institute of Chinese photo-machinery industry.

Our Institute is situated to the north of West Lake, adjoins Zhejiang University and Hangzhou New High Technology Region. The convenient transportation provides more opportunity for interchange and cooperation. Our institute covers an area about 38 thousand square meters, including more than 20 thousand square meters' building area. With greenery and grassland, the environment condition is very suitable for researching, developing and manufacturing of optical appliance and instrument.

In our institute, we have divisions of China State Camera Supervision-Evaluating Center, Department of Standardization, CAMERA Magazine Editorial Office and Secretaries of Photographic Machinery Professional Association of China Instrument, Meter, Culture & Office Equipment Manufacture Association, and Lens Engineering Center.

Our Lens Engineering Center undertakes various types of national and professional researching and developing projects. In recent years, our Institute has expanded technical exchange and cooperation with companies from at home and aboard. And our Institute has made many products out of the scope of pure photographic machinery. Our products includes epidiascope lens, LCOS/LCD TV lens, LED spotlight, LED bulb lamps, LED ceiling lights, projector lens, microscope & telescope lens, scanner lens, camera lens, digital-camera lens, zoom lens of monitors, viewfinders, and spherical and aspherical plastic lens. Our Institute has powerful ability in researching, designing and producing optical lens, especially in the aspherical plastic lens field. We are in the leading position in China.

Our Institute would like to provide all kinds of service for every client, such as designing and producing optical instrument and photographic mechanism. The yearly International Photographic appliance Exposition, which is sponsored by our Institute, is much more a good stage for manufacturers to show their actual strength, promote their products and exchange technique.

Introduction of The Engineering Center featuring Characteristic Lenses
Our engineering center featuring characteristic lens mainly undertakes researching, developing and manufacturing special lenses and optical plastic lenses. This is one of the earliest organizations where research and develop optical plastic aspherical lenses in China, undertaking many national science-research programs, cultivating many excellent optical plastic specialized technical personnel and developing new modern optical products.

Our main products include camera lenses, viewfinders, slide projector lens, big screen high sharpness crystal rear-projective TV lens, magnifying-microscopes, all kinds of spherical and aspherical optical plastic lenses, transducer lens, fingerprint prisms and lenses, and colored optical plastic lens with given spectrum characteristic. Some of products are exported to Europe and the USA. Our products are welcomed by overseas customers.

Our engineering center possesses high-precious electronic injection molding machines such as FANUC made in Japan, German and Italy, and possesses the Form-Talysurf made in the UK for testing aspherical surface figure and roughness and digital laser wave-front interference instrument made by Zhejiang University, more than 20 in total. We can offer whole service from optical design, mold design and manufacture, research of molding techniques to check. We sincerely welcome clients to visit us for cooperation and interchange.
