Centon F1.8 50mm Minolta MD Mount Lens

A month ago, bought an inexpensive lens from ebay for a few dollars including the Centon DF-300 body.  I use the lens on a digital camera with an adapter.  The IQ (image quality) is quite good.  It is fun to put a vintage lens on a digital camera to take picture. So far I had bought a few vintage lens including a Sigma 28-70 mm, Vivitar 28mm and Miranda 35-70mm macro lens for less than $30 each from ebay.  I am quite happy with all these lens in terms of IQ and construction.



Here is the Centon DF-300 with F1.8 50mm lens bought from ebay.

The camera features a 50mm F1.8 standard lens; Aperture priority; Manual; 1984 vintage; and Minolta MD mount.  DF-300 was derived from Minolta X300, X370s and X-7A. It was also delivered as the Vivitar V50 and Seagull DF-300x. Centon The name is a brand name of British retailer Jessop.  The camera was made by Shanghai Camera Factory.
