What it is
As of 2026 the price a 500 DTL sells for at auction is heavily condition-dependent, and clean, working examples with a functional meter would be expected to be worth more than untested or cosmetically tired bodies.","buying_guide":"As with most mechanical 35mm SLRs of this era, inspect the shutter at all speeds, check the foam light seals (which typically perish), and confirm the through-the-lens meter responds — meter circuits in budget SLRs of this period are a common failure point.
