Capture the essence of classic photography with this Mamiya/Sekor 1000 DTL-a beautifully preserved 35mm SLR camera from the golden age of analog. Produced between 1968 and 1973, this camera was ahead of its time, featuring a dual-pattern TTL metering system that lets you switch between spot and average metering-a rare innovation for its era.
Condition: Clean - exceptionally clean body, crisp shutter action, and bright viewfinder. No major dents, scratches, or corrosion.
Lenses: included - perfect for pairing with your favorite M42 screw-mount lenses. ============ Note: Light meter is not functional on this camera =============. Even if it is it will not be accurate after over 40 years!! Dual metering (spot & average). Shutter speeds from B to 1/1000 sec.
Solid metal construction with classic styling. This camera is ideal for collectors, analog enthusiasts, or anyone looking to explore film photography with a piece of history. Whether displayed or used, it's a stunning example of Japanese engineering and design. Feel free to message with questions or bundle requests! While it has been [tested/inspected] and is currently working, please keep in mind that vintage electronics and mechanics are delicate.
While this camera passed all checks this year, please remember that vintage mechanical items can be unpredictable. I guarantee it arrives as described, but I recommend a CLA (Clean, Lubricate, Adjust) every few years to keep it in peak condition.
