Description
Mamiya 528AL is a rare gem from 1975 – a compact SLR with a leaf shutter and fixed 48mm f/2.8 Mamiya-Sekor lens. It was the final leaf-shutter SLR produced by Mamiya, and it blends sharp optics with the simplicity of manual shooting. Designed for photographers who appreciate a mechanical feel and precise control, the 528AL features a Copal X shutter with speeds from 1/4s to 1/500s, plus Bulb mode for long exposures.
Originally built with a match-needle TTL CdS light meter and a shutter-priority auto mode, this particular camera currently operates in full manual mode only. The battery contact needs minor attention to restore metering functionality, but all essential functions are working properly — perfect for those who prefer to shoot without relying on automation.
Focusing is smooth, and the lens delivers clean, contrasty results. The body shows visible wear from regular use, but everything is intact and operational. This is a great option for anyone wanting to explore leaf-shutter SLR photography with classic styling and no-nonsense controls.
