The 500TL was the first of a small series of SLRs made by Mamiya, all introduced in 1968.  The models were designated by the fastest shutter speed (500, 1000, 2000), and either T<\/strong>hrough the L<\/strong>ens metering (TL), ot D<\/strong>ual T<\/strong>hrough the L<\/strong>ens metering (DTL) – the later offering either average or spot metering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lens fitted to this camera is the excellent Mamiya-Sekor 50mm f\/2, which when acquired had a jammed iris – easily fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
