Today I bought a Miranda Sensorex camera at an auction. I always wanted a Miranda - Happy!
Miranda Sensorex is a 35 mm SLR system film camera manufactured by Miranda. There are seven almost-the-same but distinct versions of Sensorex. There are two very peculiar features in Miranda: the interchangeable prism (the Nikon F and Topcon Super D were notable professional 35mm SLRs at the time with this feature), and the front-mounted shutter release. The camera also featured a low noise shutter and vibration-free mirror mechanism. After removing the pentaprism, the camera is fully functional and can still meter and focus, which is especially handy for close-up work. The Sensorex was the flagship model at that time.
Miranda was apparently the first Japanese SLR manufacturer, and for a time, Miranda used to compete with Nikon and Topcon for build quality and optics.
