The 35mm SLRs designated as either the Mamiya MSX 500 or MSX 1000 (for either 1/500 or 1/1000 as fastest shutter speed). Both have TTL manual CdS spot metering (about 10% center area only), with a needle visible in the viewfinder. The flash sync speed is 1/60 sec. An optional clip-on flash mount was available for cameras without a hot shoe. The battery required is one MS76 or equivalent. These models use Mamiya SX lenses, an elaboration of the 42mm screw mount adding an aperture coupling pin for open-aperture metering.
Sears sold a version of the MSX 1000 branded as TLS 1000 MX. The DSX series were related models offering switchable spot vs. averaging meter patterns.
