The first SLR I tried was a friend's Mamiya-Sekor 500 TL (or was it 
DTL?).,I used it for a couple of months.  It took decent pictures, but 
seismographs all over New England trembled every time I pressed the shutter.

So I must admit to a bit of sentiment for Mamiya, too.

I first used the 500DTL, as i remember, and yes it was a noisy monster.  I 
then went out and bought a Nikkormat FTn.  Still noisey as hell but much 
nicer.  
Then I moved up to a Nikon F w/o meter, much quieter and a real dream, once 
you got used tothe removable back.  ;-)
