A lot of people are familiar with the Seagull TLRs, because they began to be imported into the USA around 2000, but this is not one of the well-known TLRs. The DF-1 is a 35mm SLR, based on an old Minolta, the meterless SR-2. The Seagull also lacks a meter, and is primitive in its construction. It feels like it will fall apart when you use it, but it has worked perfectly the 10 years that I have owned it. The 50mm f2 lens that came with it is an excellent lens. The exterior cosmetics look like a clone of a Pentax M-Series K-mount lens, but I do not know what the optics are based on. The mount is Minolta, not Pentax, despite the appearance of the lens! -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-437-8990 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook
