Mamiya / Sekor 500 DTL

Mamiya / Sekor 500 DTL with Takumar 55mm f1.8 lens.

A solid 35mm SLR from the late '60s, the Mamiya/Sekor 500 DTL gives you full manual control and both spot and average metering—though the average meter only works when it feels like it. The spot meter seems fine.

Comes with a lovely Super-Takumar 55mm f1.8 lens, sharp and smooth to focus. Viewfinder's a bit dusty but totally usable. Takes M42 screw-mount lenses and doesn’t need a battery to shoot—only for the meter.

Great for getting into film or adding to a vintage setup.
