Steve
I like it when the camera shows up in the shot!! Take it from the model number that it's a 28mm fixed lens? Seems an unusual choice...
Regards - John

Steve I like it when the camera shows up in the shot!! Take it from the model number that it's a 28mm fixed lens? Seems an unusual choice... John: The Mamiya 528TL had a 48mm f/2.8 fixed lens, with a Copal-X leaf shutter and an averaging meter. Auxiliary lens sets, designed to screw onto the lens ring like a filter, were sold as options to provide wide angle and telephoto effects. They changed the normal 48mm focal length to 35mm (covering an angle of view of 63-1/2°) and 62mm (38-1/2°), respectively (accessory lenses were also made by Vivitar). While not the most critically acclaimed cameras Mamiya ever made, they were very popular when they were introduced in 1975 and took very decent pictures, as Steve just demonstrated! ;D |

Thanks Ron
I guessed that the 5 in the number referred to the highest shutter speed. The 28 was the maximum aperture then, not the focal length. Story of my life! LOL

This one came with the two lens sets. Upon using them, I was suprized to see they didn't affect the focusing capabilities.

I don't use mine as much as I used to...want to be able to really change lenses and all...but they are a good knockabout camera to keep in the car.  |
