REVUE

Foto-Quelle is a chain of photography stores in German, much like the Jessop camera stores in the UK.  Foto-Quelle rebadged and sold cameras – with names like Porst and Revue – from a large number of camera manufacturers. One of these camera makers was Seagull.  There was one Seagull DF-300-type camera that was sold, mainly in Germany, under the Revue name.
