Seagull DF-300X Body with strap!
The Seagull DF-300 is an SLR camera body with a Minolta SR-bayonet mount. It can be used with most lenses made for Minolta's manual-focus SLRs. On the back, it is marked "Shanghai China, licensed by Minolta". It's a licensed copy of Minolta's X-300, which was produced in the same Shanghai General Camera Factory.
It was released in three different versions. The basic black and silver version, an all-black-bodied version and a limited edition named "Seagull DF-300x," of which only 1000 were made to commemorate Hong Kong's return to China in 1997. Each set was comprised of a camera body and lens with matching serial numbers, with "Commemorating Return of Hong Kong" on both camera body and lens being written in Chinese.
