Chronology of cameras Carena
The Carena brand is registered in the early 1950s by Coop, a Swiss distribution group resulting from the merger of several companies.
It concerns photographic equipment. It is renewed several times by Coop, then by Interdiscount, a subsidiary of Coop specializing in the sale of electronic and photographic equipment.
Interdiscount was created in 1970 and relies on a dense network of branches. In 1973, there were 42 branches throughout Switzerland. Abroad, Interdiscount relies on existing networks. In Germany, in the early 1980s, Interdiscount acquired shares in the struggling company Photo Porst.
This camera is derived from the Minolta X300, X370s, and X-7A models.
After manufacturing these series of cameras in Japan, Minolta quickly established a manufacturing unit in Malaysia, and later in China.
The Carena SX-300, which stems from these Minolta models, is perfectly identical to Minolta cameras. It uses the Minolta bayonet mount. It was also sold under the names Vivitar V50, Centon DF-300, and Seagull DF-300x.
The lens mounted on the presented unit is a Vivitar M/MD 1.8/50 mm; it is not certain whether it is the original lens.
