Mamiya/Sekor 500TL 35mm SLR Film Camera with Mamiya/Sekor 50mm f/2 Lens
A classic Japanese Mamiya/Sekor manual 35mm SLR dating from approximately the late 1960s.
This example is in excellent cosmetic condition and is particularly clean throughout. The lens, viewfinder and general optical areas are clear and clean.
The camera winds correctly and the mechanical shutter fires.
Please note that the built-in light meter is not working. A new battery has been fitted and the meter remains unresponsive, so the light meter should be considered faulty.
This does not prevent the camera from being used. The shutter is mechanical and operates independently of the meter, so exposure can be set manually using a separate handheld light meter or light-meter app.
