The Seagull DF-300 is a SLR camera body with Minolta SR-bayonet. It can be used with most of the lenses which are 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 factory. Name variants branded Safari, Centon, and Carena were also sold, and the Vivitar V50 seems to be the same camera.
