Mamiya 500 TL
The Mamiya 500 TL is a 35mm SLR with through-the-lens metering, positioned as an entry-level manual-focus body when new.
At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Mamiya 500 TL have been modest, with results ranging from about £10 to £19 and a median near £12 — wholesale saleroom levels that reflect the camera's status as an affordable user today in 2026. Condition drives what a body sells for: working meters and clean shutters sit at the top of the range, while cosmetically tired examples pull the value down.
