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.

The person behind the cameras
I started OldCamsByJens after too many disappointing second-hand purchases — cameras sold as “fully working” that arrived with failing shutters or dead meters. Every item that passes through my hands is fully tested, cleaned, and honestly described. No surprises when you open the box.
