What it is

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.","buying_guide":"Check the shutter at all speeds for accuracy and capping, and test the meter, as selenium- and CdS-era metering circuits from this period are frequently unreliable.

Questions

Is the Mamiya 500 TL a good value buy?

For the price it commands, it offers entry into 35mm SLR shooting cheaply, though buyers should budget for light-seal replacement and accept that the meter may no longer be accurate.
