I picked up this one recently of course the light meter doesn't seem to work not even sure how old it is, But as you can guess it was a deal I couldn't pass up, { is this a problem?} any way I love my Mamiya c220 and figured any mamiya has to be good. I'll run a roll of film through it soon to see how it works. Maybe the Mamiya man can shed some more light on this camera for me thanks.   |

majicman: Got a whole page of TL/DTL info on my web site. The Mamiya TL series was a real tank of a camera...and had excellent optics. There are a great many of them still around. The DTL was introduced in 1968 (it was my first Mamiya). I still have that first one and has never required anything major. Aside from door seals and an occasional CLA requirement, it still works just fine! Of course I have to add - in the interest of honest reporting - that I also have several where the meter has died, and one with a stuck shutter.  The meter working or not has never been a problem for me...I only occasionally use the on-camera meter at all (I prefer my hand-held incident meter). And I would rather use the manual setting on all my cameras, rather than anything "automatic." But the stuck shutter is a definite problem!  |

Hmm .... still can't get mine to work. I think it's jammed halfway through an exposure. The second blind is not closing, the mirror is up and the aperture pin pusher is forward.
