Argus DF-300

nobody@ipernity.com (HaarFager) — Sun, 26 Dec 2021 01:21:23 +0000

Another Chinese-made clone of the Minolta X-300.

I have my doubts as to whether or not this is an official clone. The name plate where "Argus" is located has rounded-off corners to the left and the right of the name. Almost as if somebody had sanded off the original name and painted on Argus instead. Another doubt comes because I have never seen another camera like this anywhere on the internet.

Update:
A contact of mine found one of these for sale, and it was the whole camera kit - camera, box, manual, etc. I guess that proves it's a legitimate clone. Thanks, Xata!

This Argus DF-300 is another one of my Minolta X-300/X-370 clones. I can't find any reference to it anywhere on the internet. It's almost as if it doesn't exist, but this one copy.

Happy Together
