Mamiya Sekor 500 DTL - a bit of a brick, but actually quite good

Although I'd been aware of Mamiya medium format cameras as long as I can remember, it wasn't until I got interested in film cameras again, after shooting digital for many years, that I found out about their 35mm film cameras like the 500 DTL featured in this video. The 500 DTL and it's siblings such as the 500 TL, were introduced in the mid to late 60s in Japan. They're relatively basic SLR cameras but actually rather nice to use and very solidly built.
