The Mamiya MSX 500, coupled with a 50mm f/2 lens, is a remarkable example of Japanese camera engineering from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Renowned for its robust build and mechanical precision, the MSX 500 is a single-lens reflex (SLR) camera that appealed to both professional and amateur photographers of its time. The camera features a focal plane shutter and TTL metering, offering a shutter speed range up to 1/500th of a second, which was quite impressive for its era. The 50mm f/2 lens is known for its sharpness and beautiful bokeh, making it versatile for a variety of photography styles. An interesting fact about the MSX series is their compatibility with the M42 screw mount, allowing a wide range of lenses to be used with the camera.

Love this camera!!! Wanted to test it out for a few weeks before reviewing and being new to the camera world. Will definitely be purchasing from this shop again!! Also if you’re American (unfortunately) like me you may have to get a new power cord which is a super quick fix but all in all 10/10 no complaints!!

Service client très réactif, arrangeant, professionnel. Camera comme décrit. J'ai eu un petit souci (que j'aurais pu régler moi-même mais je n'y connais rien), j'ai pu le renvoyer tout de suite, ça a été pris en charge, super support. Je recommande !

The item arrived quickly. I've shot a test film, and everything works as described. Although I am American, I am trying to buy less from American sellers due to the current political climate. Therefore, the fact that the seller is from Europe provides an additional advantage for me.

Works great! Bought a Pentax that came with the same lens but it stopped working shortly after getting it. This lens’s aperture is smooth and works just like described. Definitely a good choice to shop.
