Mamiya/Sekor 1000 DTL.

[Petzval 1840]

Hello:

It presented to them a camera that I already had, but that broke down 23 years ago. I saw her in Ebay and bought it in Germany for a few euros. The camera that I had, was taking a Mamiya -Sekor 55mm-1,8. (The lens preserved it still). I do not know if it is a Tomioka.

The camera of Germany came with one 50mm-f:2: I already have approximately twenty years ago one of these lenses, which met to me on Asahi Pentax Spotmatic very good proved . This Mamiya lens has the numbers in red and white, but the one that I bought twenty years ago for 12 €, has the green and white numbers. I they hope to be able to show a photo of the two 50mm-2 together.

Congrats!

And what about her dual photometric system, spot and average? Job in both?

I just picked up one of these 1000 DTL's myself. It came with a Pentacon 50mm 1.8 rather than the original lens.
I wasn't really expecting to like it very much, but I have to say, while the camera is bulky compared to the Spotmatic, and kind of loud but purposeful, it actually feels good. The meter is very handy and easy to use with that clever stop down deal on the winder arm.

I can't wait to develop the first roll.

I think the reason these Mamiya Sekors got panned over the years is that they're kind of hard to work on when they break due to the complexity of the mechanicals? Simple fixes become time consuming elaborate procedures.

I guess I'm fortunate to have an example in which the dual meter seems to be working quite well.
