Kongque 孔雀 DF-2

The Kongque DF-2 is a 35mm SLR camera representing a typical offering from a lesser-known manufacturer, likely produced during the 1970s or 1980s when the market was saturated with similar, functional film cameras. It utilizes the popular Minolta MD lens mount, offering a range of standard prime and zoom lenses, and features a conventional mechanical shutter with speeds from Bulb (B) to 1/1000th second, alongside a standard 1/100th sync speed. As a basic SLR, it provides essential manual controls—aperture ring, shutter speed dial, and focus ring—aimed at amateur photographers seeking an affordable entry into single-lens reflex photography without the advanced features or robust build of more prestigious brands. Its design and functionality align closely with numerous contemporary budget SLRs, emphasizing accessibility over innovation or exceptional quality.
